Guest Reviews
- Azael (10/5): - Todo bien Todo me gusto
- Morse Handy (9/5): Hidden gem. - Beautiful waterfront location in a very quiet little fishing community. Room was clean and comfortable. Had a coffee maker. Private bathroom was great and had shampoo provided. They had a fondas for breakfast, really good with good coffee. It got a little noisy early but everything was good.
- craig (9/5): We enjoyed a relaxing visit - swimming, walking, birding and snorkeling of shore. The owners were friendly and attentive - We enjoyed being on the water., sunsets were gorgeous.There was a comfy seating area . The open air restaurant overlooked the water. The food was delicious and French inspired . We were able to walk the beach .

- Marc (9/5): Belle découverte à Palo Seco - Accueil chaleureux de Karine et Brice. Bonne cuisine à base de poisson (et quelques spécialités françaises pour ceux qui auraient le mal du pays). Lit très confortable et salle de bain impeccable
- Thierry (8/5): Idéal pour un dépaysement et le contact avec la nature - Nous avons passé un séjour merveilleux à l'hôtel Océképala. Brice et Carine, un couple de Français incroyablement accueillants, ont tout fait pour que nous nous sentions chez nous. Ils connaissent la région comme leur poche et sont de très bon conseil pour les sorties, ce qui nous a permis de découvrir les environs sous leur meilleur jour.
Côté cuisine, nous nous sommes régalés : les plats à base de poisson sont frais, sains et vraiment goûteux. La chambre était très confortable, idéale pour se reposer. Une adresse que nous recommandons sans hésiter ! Un accueil francophone de qualité qui fait toute la différence. Merci encore !
- Kendall (10/5): Found this spot by accident but it’s definitely a destination you should seek out! - The food was fantastic! Everyone was wonderful to be around! It’s a fishing village so it smells a little fishy in some spots but it’s to be expected.
- Massiel (10/5): - Amabilidad de sus dueños, excelente comida!!
- Aurelio (9/5): Días en Ocekepala - Ubicación, ya que las actividades que realicé salían desde el muelle. La comida estaba buena, la atención me pareció genial.
- Florence (8/5): -
- Carolina (10/5): - Me emcanto
- Pablo (8/5): -
- xavier (10/5): Tres belle chambre, tres bien situé -
- Frank (9/5): Freundliche, familiäre Unterkunft zum Wohlfühlen - Das Familienzimmer ist sehr groß und geräumig, Kühlschrank und Kaffeemaschine auf dem Zimmer sorgen für Annehmlichkeiten, der Sitzbereich vor den Zimmern ist groß und gemütlich. Die Besitzer sind sehr freundlich und die Küche ist ausgezeichnet. Der dorfeigene Strand ist leider sehr mit Müll verschmutzt und man muss etwas weiter weg fahren für einen hübschen sauberen Strand.

- pgp (8/5): - La ubicación y el restaurante La olor a humedad en la habitación. La puerta no cerraba bien.
- Valentin (10/5): -
- Frederick (9/5): Very comfortable lodging in small fishing village - Outdoor areas were very nice. Having nice restaurant on site was a big plus.
- William (9/5): Loved the staff and restaurant. - The staff went out of their way to make sure that I was taken proper care. This is a fishing village and as such, there is some mess strewn about.
- Reinaldo (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing Food, lovely owners, right in front of the port. Full recommended
- Brooke (10/5): Exceptional -
- Motoraton28 (4/5): I wouldn't come back - -Relatively quiet place.
-Air conditioning.
-Mini fridge.
-No TV.
-Everything was clean. -Very small room.
-Very poor cost-benefit ratio, there are more attractive places at a better price.
-Although it's facing the sea, I don't recommend swimming at the beach near the port, as the water doesn't look clean because of oil of the fishing boats.
-Cold welcome from the host.
-I didn't see any tourist activities nearby.
-The place has a strange vibe, honestly, I wouldn't come back.
- Joel (10/5): Exceptional - The cooking was good and tasty both at breakfast and dinner Owners were very helpfull there was nothing to dislike
- Patricia (10/5): My stay was wonderful in every respect. - I loved the location, the friendly and helpful staff and the relaxing atmosphere.
As a single woman traveling alone, I felt safe and welcomed. There was nothing I didn’t like.
- Kathryn (8/5): A very nice basic beach hotel. - The property was right on the beach and it had a very good restaurant. The hosts were a charming French couple that were so friendly and so helpful. The hotel is in the middle of a small Panamanian village. That means there are village noises, including dogs and roosters and people yelling. Not too bad but it does take a bit to get used to.
- Tracey (7/5): Authentic Panamanian village food it’s friendly locals and a beautiful view! - Overlooking a fishing beach and nice walkway. Small but efficient and hosts were lovely. A very friendly community and amazing food!! Nothing, the stairs up to the restaurant and to the bathroom can make it challenging for those with a disability…but I managed:) even though I have a bad leg. The beach was for fishing but TORIO beach is a five minute drive.
- Max (8/5): Very good -
- Vito (6/5): Nice location. But for the price I was charged was not worth it - Nice location right on the water The bed was horrible. Was 2 small beds pushed together and very uncomfortable. No toilet paper in the bathroom.
- Celmira (10/5): It was worth the price, the food was good and the owners were super nice with us. - The decoration was nice, it was clean and they have a restaurant and the food was delicious!!!
- Edward (10/5): Exceptional -
