Coronado

[Ronald Crum]

Can anyone tell me where would be a nice place to stay in the Coronado area. I only want to stay for 1 night and I will need to be able to rent a car from the same place, like a Budget rent a car. Our plan is to hire a taxi from the airport to Coronado, So then we will not have to drive through Panama City. Thank You Ronald Crum

Hi Ronald,

Thanks for posting. Though a bit older, the Coronado Golf & Beach Resort has a pool, nearby beach club, golf course, and spacious rooms. You can contact the hotel directly to inquire about rates and whether their concierge assists with rental cars. You will find hotels, B&Bs, vacation rentals and more in the Coronado region listed on hotel review websites like TripAdvisor. The advantage of checking TripAdvisor lies in the site’s filters which allow you to find something that suits your personal tastes exactly. That’s why I am a big fan and always check to see what the latest reviews are saying. The hotel industry in Panama is very dynamic so there’s always something new.

This forum thread suggests that a company in Coronado has the best car rental prices in the region: http://internationalliving.com/forums/topic/car-rental-in-playa-coronado/, you may want to check that out. Most people rent a car in Panama City on arrival and drive from Panama City to Coronado, but obtaining transportation to Coronado and then renting a car in Coronado has its advantages as driving in Panama City can be stressful.

You’ll find posts and info on driving in Panama here on your Panama Insider website, please make sure to read them starting here: http://internationalliving.com/forums/topic/panama-city-to-pedasi-by-car/ and here http://internationalliving.com/forums/topic/need-for-rental-car-in-panama-city/

Hope this helps and enjoy your visit.

Best,
