Las Lajas Beach Resort

Really enjoyed the visit. Stayed one night. Great service and food at the restaurant. Plenty of towels for the room and pool. Maintained well. The staff are so friendly and helpful, which always makes for a nice stay.

Paradise is paradise!||I feel so blessed to find Liza on HorseVacations.com She's been nothing short of amazing. When I emailed her, I felt like I was in the best hands. She arranged everything for me. The lodging, transfer, horse riding, and massages.||Her husband, Gama is a Panamanian cowboy. I fell in love with Bonbino and rode him for three different days. Two beaches runs; one into the mountains to see petroglyphs, the greenest grass, and the most beautiful cows.||It was genuinely peaceful in every way. On my last beach ride, Gama grabbed a coconut and whipped out his Machi, voila, fresh coconut water. ||Did I die and go to heaven? Nope, heaven was waiting for me when I got back. ||Liza is a first-class massage therapist; she knows so many different styles. One day, she did the sound bowls on my belly, which I had not done before. It was so cool. She has a large Palapa yoga platform where she does massages. It is tucked back into the property, so you do not even know it is there. You only hear the waves and birds all around. ||Las Lajas Beach Resort is a true gem. If you want peace and quiet, this is the place. The beaches are long, and the waves are perfect for body surfing or boogie boarding. No large waves here. Basically, you have a beach to yourself. Being from San Diego, there are hundreds of people on our beaches. ||The food at the beach resort is wonderful; usually, staying over a week, I would get tired of the same food; nope, their menu has so much variety. I think it is one of the best egg benedicts I have had. Cooked to perfection with fresh eggs. All the wait staff are so kind. They can be a bit slow to my liking, but I need to learn how to relax|more, LOL. The good news is the food comes out of the kitchen in no time. I could go on and on about this place, you would think I am a paid marketer. I own my own business in San Diego, so I can assure you that is not the case. ||I cannot wait to return. Thank you to everyone who made my stay so wonderful :)

This is my happy place! The employees are what make this place so special. We have been coming for 2 years and they always remember us and make us feel like family. The owner has made many great improvements over the last year with the pool recently being redone as well as adding features to some of the rooms designated as Jr Suites. The beach is right there and you have beautiful views from the restaurant and bar. They also have an awesome menu for Breakfast Lunch and Dinner with a great variety of items. The Pina Colada by Julio the bartender is the best I have ever had!

We stayed here for the first time this past weekend. Excellent location and convenience to the beach. The room was large and had a refrigerator and water cooler as well. The restaurant was excellent; good food and good prices. Will definitely be back.

It is the most wonderful beach I think I have ever seen! Florida California and Hawaii cannot compare. Undeveloped...wide open and few people,,?!

Fantastic Resort! Clean and very helpful staff. Great food too!

My husband and I went to Las Lajas Beach Resort after living here in Panama for a year and listening to people rave about the resort. We already knew the beach was nice, because we’d been in the area twice. ||The resort was described to us as “kitschy,” but I find the resort endearing. The staff was absolutely wonderful and the young woman we met at the Reception desk spoke English quite well. ||The resort is quite colorfully painted, as many places in the Caribbean, at the beaches in the southern part of the US, and as many places in Panama are. We were in what is termed a “junior suite,” which has on demand hot water, AC, a water cooler, and a small fridge. We also had a TV, 2 not-quite-queen sized beds, a single bed, and a recliner sofa. The room was clean and comfortable. Beach towels (to use at the pool or the lounging area) were provided as were 1 washcloth, 2 hand towels, and 2 bath towels.||The food at the restaurant was very good; as with nearly every restaurant I’ve been in in Panama, the restaurant was open air but not exactly al fresco. We had a roof over our heads; the kitchen was enclosed, but there were no enclosed dining rooms. There are vegetarian and vegan offerings, which were excellent to see (and taste). ||One can sit under one of the palapas (a open air hut with a thatched roof made of dried palm leaves), out in the open air in a plastic chaise longue, swim in the pool, or relax in a hammock. ||The resort ends where the beach begins. Walking the beach is great fun and one may spot crabs, birds, shells, and driftwood. I saw a few people in the water but they seemed to be standing around talking and jumping in the waves, not swimming. ||This was a terrific place to come and relax. There’s not a lot of nightlife going on at this particular beach (unlike Myrtle Beach, SC; Daytona Beach, FL; or many other beaches in the US). We saw families with children who ranged in age from toddler to nearly adult. We encountered Panamanians as well as visitors from other countries.||We will definitely go back.

Lovely laid back beach resort in Las Lajas, Panama. Unpretentious and simple. Fabulous beach that goes for kilometers in both directions.|Food very tasty but unfortunately trying to cater for "gringo" tastes so missing some favorite Panamanian dishes such as fried whole fish!!|Room comfortable however TV was not working during our stay.|Staff very attentive and friendly.
