Hotel Punta Franca is a real paradise! A great place to stay and relax on the pacific cost of Panama. Not my first time here and o always return to this little resort with the super comfortable rooms and suits viewing the ocean from a cliff, private beach, pool and open jacuzzi , fine restaurant and good breakfast, great positive and welcoming team. If you are looking for a place to stay and relax, this is certainly the place

We had a lovely, quiet and relaxing stay. The staff was super accommodating and helpful, going out of their way to please our needs. Rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. Very relaxing and tropical scenery. Restaurant menu was varied and delicious. Only downside is the main road to get to the hotel — you need at least an SUV to get there, specially when it’s rainy. Will definitely come back during the summer!

The view from the restaurant is spectacular. In my opinion one of the best scenic spot in Panama. The property is old and difficult to get to. But did I mention the view 😁

ITS AMAZING! I feel like I am in a 5 star hotel. The view is breathtaking. I wish I could stay more! ❤️ the only feedback I have is the cleaning products, they have a very strong smell, but aside from that, everything was absolutely perfect

Loved the view & the staff! Room lacks amenities- no coffee, no drinking glasses, only 2 towels - not a big deal for us, but others may just want the heads up. Fantastic view and super friendly staff! Recommend

The chef made our stay!!!

It was a last second choice and only for one night. The room was perfectly adequate, nothing special but clean. Parking and checking, simple and accessible. The view from our room was absolutely spectacular! But, as foodies, the chef at this property was over the top fantastic. We commend him for his friendliness and generously, sharing his time and his talents with us. And we regret that we were unable to stay for lunch.

This is fine for a few days. The beaches are local and the sea warm. Whilst they claim to have internet in every room, my room (5) did not have internet in it. The food is average and the drinks seems overly pricey - $7.42 for 2 cokes… That aside the views are amazing and the constant roar of the pacific is amazing. I would go back, but only for a few days, its not a place to stay longer

The location is amazingly beautiful, the beaches are fantastic and the buildings are good (they are doing maintenance and it was not so nice to look at all the construction. But the road to get here was a night mare, it was rocky and with big holes. Also google map and WASE were confused on where it was. It kept taking us down the wrong roads. I arrived super stressed out because of it. Otherwise love the place.

El servicio de Irwing y el chef muy bueno. Solo estaba funcionando una piscina, en el servicio de habitación les falta detalles como colocar jabones, papel higienico, que se sienta el baño limpio. Por todo lo demás es muy bello lugar.

El hotel está en un sitio único, y cuenta con una vista espectacular. Habitaciones confortables y limpias, teniendo en cuenta el sitio donde se encuentra. La comida en el restaurante exquisita. El chef es 1A. Queda cerca de Puerto Escondido, donde de puede tomar una lancha dirección a Isla Iguana para realizar avistamiento de ballenas. Unico punto debil, el último kilometro para llegar es una carretera no asfaltada y es preferible llegar con un carro estilo camioneta.
