Las Lajas Beach Resort

Chiriquí Province


A lovely destination on the beach, with 14 impeccable, ample and cheery rooms and great service. We love the indigenous designs on the bedspreads and murals on the walls; room 12 features portraits of Panamanian greats. Guests can float in the pool or ocean, rent body boards (US$6) or use the on-site agency, Cocaleca, for great tours further afield.

The breezy, open-air restaurant facing the beach serves US-style breakfasts, big cheeseburgers and international fare (mains US$8 to US$14) daily till 9pm. Visitors who just want to use the pool can buy a day pass (US$13).
