We stayed in one of the suites at La Estancia. Our suite was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was great and consisted of eggs, bacon or sausage, cereal, toast, fresh fruit, yogurt, juice and coffee. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the monkeys eat bananas. It was a perfect place to stay and we felt like we were in... more

B & B itself is friendly, clean & pretty basic. Beds are comfortable, showers are hot & breakfast is excellent - but the reason to stay here is the wildlife. La Estancia is on Ancon Hill, which because from 1910 to 1997 it was the Military HQ of US Southern Command, remained a haven for wildlife in the middle of... more

I travelled to Contadora Island in Panama so needed a place to stay on either side of my travels to and from the island to the US. I booked online ahead of time and they had a driver pick us up at the Int'l airport (although he was a bit late) and took us to the B&B. The room and... more

Big cities can be noisy and chaotic, and Panama City seemed that way to me. There may be other hotels that score higher on the luxury scale, but La Estancia is as quiet and secure as one can get in this city. Its located in a gated neighborhood on Ancon hill and does indeed have some of the more spectacular... more

La Estancia by day is charming b/c of the gorgeous views, breakfast with monkeys and clean, simple rooms but arriving at night after hours made us nervous with our 10 and 11 year olds. We had never been to PC and certainly didn't expect the #1 B and B to have bars on the windows or to take a 30... more

La Estancia was nice, but other than a wonderful and comprehensive breakfast, it was little more than a hostal, in my opinion. I therefore felt that at $75 plus tax it was a bit over-priced. We ate breakfast on a balcony next to some trees in which some bananas had been hung, presumably in the hope of enticing monkeys. Unfortunately... more

La Estancia was a great stopover place for us since it was approx 5 minutes from the Albrook airport. The rooms were good-sized, clean, with AC and hot water. There were 2 computers with free internet, complimentary snacks/bananas, and a great (free) continental breakfast in the morning. The staff are also super friendly! It's at the top of a hill... more

We chose this b and b based on price and reviews, It was great. We had a hard time getting there by car from the airport... if we did it again we would head to the city, hail a cab and have it lead us to the inn. Once there, a bit frazzled from the trip through Panama, we were... more

great quiet location, clean, comfortable, a/c, fan, hot water, great breakfast included, very friendly and helpful owners. The best place to meet fellow travelers, to see monkeys at breakfast, as well as squirrels, hummingbirds, toucans and other wildlife. Right in the city! You can walk up the hill and view just about all of Panama city and beyond. Quality of... more
