I adored my little cottage at Rancho Grande! It was a perfect sanctuary from the world after a day of touring, and the staff are extremely kind, courteous and professional. If you're staying in Pana I'd highly recommend staying here.

We loved this property! The staff was super helpful as we struggled with our Spanish, the room and grounds were spotless! The only negative is that it’s not a quiet property- if you’re a light sleeper you will hear the dogs barking nearby and the street traffic. But this was beyond the property’s control so we’re giving it 5 stars!

The room was very clean, the bed was great, except breakfast, very reduced portion. Also staff at front desk never picked up the phone when we called during our stay.

Loved it . Cozy cabin in some lovely gardens . You can hear the tragic but nothing to be done about that . Lovely to lie on a comfy sofa outside listening to the birds . No complaints from me on this stay, bed was comfy too .

In a busy street, very worn, tired interiors, bedding and towels, plus bad Tv. Helpful staff however.

The property itself was nice and it was centrally located. The room had red ants at night (they didn’t bite) and the lights were the really white bulbs that hurt my eyes. Limited outlets, so take a power strip.

The property is in great condition, the room/cabin was spacious and the staff was helpful and friendly. There’s no AC, but you can always request a fan. The water is not hot or warm but you can always talk to at reception about it. The place is in a great location. One block over is the Main Street Santander and the harbor is only a few minutes away. The breakfast is delicious but if you are staying more than one day, you’ll get the same breakfast. There’s plenty of parking and transportation too. Lots of tuk tuks. Overall, great place to stay. Close to everything. I would definitely return and recommend.

At first I felt the walking distance was bit far but when night came it was much more peaceful then the hotels in the middle of town, and the walk was reasonable
