Casa Lajagua

Top choice in Península de Azuero


Set in beautiful leafy grounds away from the hubbub of Av Central, this welcoming place feels more like a resort than the chilled B&B it is. Six individually designed rooms and a suite with orthopedic mattresses and super-strong showers face a huge pool; hammocks swing everywhere, and breakfasts are massive.

Hosts April and Chris are keen water-sports enthusiasts and can organize diving and deep-sea fishing trips on their 25ft Contender Console.
