We just spent a wonderful stay at PanaLake in Arenosa. All five of us loved our time there, comfortable rooms, fantastic attention to detail, and breakfast that was delicious and perfectly timed for our fishing days. Will, Sam and Luke (and their 4 fluffies) made us feel genuinely at home. We’d absolutely stay again.

Wow! 10 stars all the way. The best fishing vacation I have ever had, right on the lake, falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the water. Luke took us fishing 6 days in a row, the best guide on the lake. So many peacock bass! You need to stay here and go fishing.

What a magical place, a paradise for any outdoor enthusiast and an oasis if you just want to relax. Nature, fishing, kayaks, paddle boards, even a platform to jump off into the lake. Rooms were super clean and spacious. We cooked peacock bass tacos we caught from the lake on the balcony. If you’re ever in Panama, spend a weekend here.

An amazing location and perfect accommodation right on the lake with breathtaking views. The hosts are great, very helpful and accommodating. Kayaks and paddle boards to use, very peaceful and relaxing. Clean, spacious, with A/C, full bathroom and a great kitchen. Highly recommend, we’ll be returning soon.

If you like nature, this is for you. We had a great stay, all thanks to Will and Sam, who will do whatever it takes. Swimming, fishing and kayaking right on your doorstep. Great value for the money, we’ll be back!

As soon as we arrived and saw the cabin and its surroundings, my brother and I were in love with the place and wished we could stay a whole week.
