Casa Swell Coronado A Unique Blend of Luxury and Nature in the Hearth of Coronado

We highly recommend Casa Swell for anyone visiting Panama, especially those considering a move to the Coronado/Gorgona area. I just read a review dated June 2 that describes Casa Swell in detail, so I want to primarily focus on Jay, who will be your host if you are lucky enough to stay there. Jay became our friend long before we arrived in Panama for our first trip, and we are so thankful for all he did for us on our journey to becoming Panama residents. The first time we connected with Jay (over WhatsApp), he took the time to begin explaining the area (and Panama) in detail. He asked about our goals and helped us understand what living near Coronado is really like. He gave us the confidence to forego the expensive relocation tours and instead discover Panama on our own. Since the area was likely a good fit for us, we opted to invest in an inexpensive tour that he provides. He is an EXPERT on the area and Casa Swell is ideally located. He also referred us to people who have helped us along the way. (We're moving to Panama in a few weeks.) We will always be grateful for what he did for us. Making a real connection with someone is so valuable instead of only reading FB posts and watching YouTube videos. Like Jay’s other reviewers, we loved our time at Casa Swell. The pool and outdoor kitchen are fabulous, and the rooms are spacious, comfortable, and cool. We were able to spread out and have a home base for our time in the area. Jay did a fantastic job designing every aspect of Casa Swell; each room provides privacy and special touches. He obviously has thought of everything, including security. We always felt safe in Coronado, especially at Casa Swell. For anyone considering a trip to Coronado, we suggest that you contact Jay at Casa Swell. You will not be disappointed.

Great pool, comfy rooms, wonderful outdoor kitchen and seating where everyone congregates and become friends. Jay is super friendly and knows the area so well. He gave us suggestions on where to go each day. He even planned an itinerary for us to tour around Panama. We're coming back for the third time and brining friends!

Delightful stay at Casa Swell. Owner Jay and son Ben went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. Helpful information was offered and all questions were answered. Jay even gave us a ride to an excellent local restaurant. If you are planning a visit to the Coronado area of Panama put Casa Swell on your list as the place to stay. The beach is beautiful, the area very safe, and the hospitality of Casa Swell wonderful.

I had a fantastic experience at this beautiful hotel in Coronado, Panama. The property is stunning and well-maintained, with a relaxing atmosphere that made it easy to unwind. The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made my stay even more enjoyable. The location is perfect—just a short distance from great beaches where you can surf, and there’s even a golf course nearby for those who love to play. The hotel also has a lovely pool, perfect for cooling off after a day in the sun. Breakfast was a real highlight, featuring fresh seasonal fruits and delicious mango juice that came straight from the tree. Every morning felt like a treat. This is THE SPOT for anyone looking to relax and enjoy the best of Coronado!

Casa Swell was a great place to stay for our surf trip. Outdoor kitchen is large and well organized, rooms are clean and confortable, the pool so refreshing and the neighbourhood was quiet. Met some nice guests and surfers. The host Jerome and his family were very helpful and full or suggestions for exploring around. Would for sure stay there again and recommend!

My friend and I had a fantastic time staying at Casa Swell. It felt like a very “homey” environment and Jay was extremely helpful with recommendations and accommodations.
