Bay View Hotel

Great location right on the beach. Spectacular panorama at a very reasonable price. Nice swimming pool and deck area. Easy access to the beach. Room was modest but clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly and it seemed “family-run.” The on site restaurant had a good free breakfast and other meals available, with a great view of the ocean. The hotel is hard to access because the road going to the hotel requires a very difficult dangerous and illegal turn across a busy highway, or you have to travel a few kilometers beyond the turnoff to find a place you can do a safe U-turn. The road in is bumpy, so just drive slow. Parking is plentiful but you have to drag your suitcase over the unpaved ground to get to the stairs going up to the reception area. No elevator. I’d definitely go back now that I know how to navigate the turn into the access road.

Muy bueno la piscina excelente el servicio la avitacion limpia el personal muy amable buen axceso a la playa al rio que esta al lado del hotel 👌👌👌👌👌

The view of the ocean and the breeze were amazing. The entrance and the grounds were beautiful. The rooms, however are very obsolete. The overall experience was excellent for the price.

A very quiet place. They had good service. Family owned, nice open aired bar/ restaurant.

The room was not very clean, especially the bathroom. The air conditioning unit has probably never been cleaned, and we both ended up with a cough after spending a night with it on. The menu was very limited. It appeared that the hotel was built in the 1950s and has not been updated since. The beach was very nice though.

Todo fue excelente el lugar, las personas, las habitaciones la comida muy buena ❤️😍

Sale, accueil mauvais, aucun service car basse saison (autant fermé alors !), wifi qui fonctionne sur un rayon de 2m.
On sent l’hôtel laissé à l’abandon alors que ça pourrait être une pépite.
J’allais oublier la piscine glissante et dangereuse (les abords).
Franchement à fuir

The conditions

Nice and quiet place..!

Nice economical hotel close to the beach. I was there low season during the week so the restaurant was closed which left few eating options. Romm was basic but sleepable. Probably overal 3+ stats.

The owners and staff here are amazing. They were helpful and friendly and genuine.
The pool is nice and there in nice seating around the pool and along the oceanside as well as in the bar/restaurant
The rooms could use some TLC and attention, but they have clean beds and AC, and all of the beauty of the bay just outside, so it could be overlooked. Especially with such nice people running the place. It is, IMO, a step above a hostel, A great bargain, not a luxury hotel. We rated it high, because we weren't looking for luxury, we were looking for a real Panamanian stay, and it was an enjoyable couple of nights.

Expensive food and bad service

Cuenta con piscina, acceso directo a la playa y a un río. Vista al mar desde el restaurante es muy hermosa.
Todo muy bien.

it was on my route

Sería recomendable tener barandas en un acceso hacia piscina desde el bar y también bajando las escaleras hacia la playa. Arreglar esos escalones para que estén parejos y no irregulares.

The pictures shows are not like the property is, it needs maintenance, the property do not have back up energy, no administration at night, just the security guy.

Nice place to stay over the weekend and going to the beach. No hot water, even when they confirmed it, so expect cold and luke/cold water. Breakfast is expensive and simple, but you can get by it. Restaurant is good for lunch and diner. Room safety is sketchy, with doors closing poorly, and no internal door block. Only a simple bedroom door knob. There are improvements to the place, but still needs a lot of work.

Our first stay in the interior outside of Panama City. Honestly, the price is what attracted us. Proximity to beach and the "younger staff" were good. On the negative side.. no hot water, TV did not work, breakfast was ok but had to show reservation which stated "included", pictures not showing true representation, a bit neglected and run down, "older staff" not as friendly. Spend the extra $10-$20 dollars next time, it's worth it.

En franco abandono, aire acondicionado dañado, plomería del cuarto rota, lleno de agua, cama y almohadas pésimas, sin toallas para piscina y sin wifi. Lo único recatable es la comida

Schmutzig ,Essen schlechtcht,..
