Península de Azuero
With the feel of a rural hacienda, this lovely red-tile Spanish colonial just up from the beach has three smart rooms with colorful weavings, antique tiles and ocean views. It’s designed to be ecofriendly, so there is no air-con, but fans do the trick. Multilingual owners Isabelle and Robert offer warm hospitality.
The 'Compass Rose' is 2km from town on the road to Playa Toro (taxis cost US$2.50). The beach is a few minutes away on foot.
