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.

We recently stayed at Casa Swell and loved everything about it. Benjamin is super friendly and provides answers and information we needed quickly and thoroughly. We felt welcome right away and loved the communal atmosphere of the shared open spaces which include an outdoor full kitchen, pool and large lounge area with lots of places to hang out. The private rooms also feel private and have their own outdoor showers and variety of lounge areas outside the room. The beds and bathrooms were modern, comfortable and clean and we slept great. Breakfast is homemade and delicious. Bottom line: you can be as social as you want or get some space if you need it. We hope to go back!

Really loved staying at Casa Swell, just steps from the beach! Jay and Ben are both lovely and very quick to respond to questions before/during/after your stay. Ask them about things to do in the area - they have many ideas and won’t hesitate to help plan your time in Coronado, and beyond! We indulged in daily breakfast, which included delicious fresh fruit & juice. Our room and common areas were both well maintained and clean. Overall hospitality and relaxation was 10/10. Can’t wait to come back soon.
