Super place to stay in Punta Chana

Quirky/unique. Super pool and facilities. Straight out onto the beach. Staff were excellent and went over and above. Rooms were different, good aircon and bathroom. Location abit out of town, 20 minute walk into town. Stayed 6 nights and would recommend.

We picked this property on a whim less than 24 hours out. Did not know what to expect. When we arrived we were promptly greeted by one of the staff who told us not to worry about checking in right away. Go get settled and we’ll worry about formalities later. We were then given a tour of the property which is adorable and quaint. It has a very family oriented vibe. If you are looking for a big touristy high end hotel vibe this is not it. So much love and care goes into this place. You can tell by how we were promptly taken to meet the owner Pachue! Who said we are going on a 4x4 tour of the Punto. After meeting the troop of furry friends we took him up on the offer. After a thorough tour of all that the Punta has to offer we came back to enjoy the incredible beach and pool and company. Thank you to the team and Pachue and his wife for the hospitality. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend.

Perfect three nights at El Arca de Pachue

We had a wonderful experience during my 14-day trip to Panama! One of the highlights of my stay was the three nights at El Arca, where we were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful beaches, cozy palapas, custom-made breakfast, and the attentive care provided by the owners. Their generous hospitality made us feel right at home, and I greatly appreciated the secluded setting, perfect for dog lovers and those seeking solitary beach walks. Among the four places we visited in Panama, El Arca stood out as our favourite, largely thanks to the warm and pleasant nature of the owners.

Unique, Amazing, Ultra 'worth your time and money'. Outstanding, and well above my expectations.

Picked this place at random, and expected something nice. This place and the owners and people working there completely blew me away. The rooms and location and hotel are amazing, and I would recommend this place to anybody, any day. There is no doubt in my mind this was my favorite place to stay. It was in a beautiful location, ultra-modern, and had everything you could ask for. The staff/owners were 'top-notch' with safety guidelines for COVID, and this place was extremely safe.

A little bit of paradise!

Everything! From the moment we arrived until we sadly had to leave, the staff were just amazing. The room was super clean with a lovely view of the ocean. The day we arrived, Hector drove us into town and gave us a tour of the town. The owner, Francisco, asked us to join him for some wine. Never have we had such an amazing stay. He even organised massages for us the following day. The location is like being in paradise..we had the entire beach to ourselves. Sadly we had to leave, but I couldn't recommend this place enough! Thank you Francisco and all your staff and your lovely dogs for making our trip so special.

Terrible welcome, rude behavior by the lady. Room was small and with no sea-view, which we paid for.

We surely did not like the way the treated us.
