El Litoral B&B

Panamá Province


El Litoral B&B is a cute red-and-yellow house with four smart air-conditioned rooms (best is the corner Delicious room). The kicker is a sumptuous patio breakfast with choices such as cappuccino, crêpes, waffles and juice. The lovely French-speaking owners offer yoga and Pilates sessions as well as massage at the onsite holistic center. They rent bikes as well.

Be aware that a small menagerie lives here too, including chickens, birds and two cats.
