Hotel Ancón

Hotel Ancón Review

This massive beachfront complex is practically two hotels. Rooms in the main building are unattractive little boxes, the best of which have tiny balconies overlooking the sea. Those in the Modulo Nuevo—the newer, two-story buildings next door—are spacious, tastefully furnished, and have large balconies. The crazy thing is that all rooms cost the same, so request one (with an ocean view) in the Modulo Nuevo. The beach is a long, narrow strip of white sand shaded by thatched parasols. The restaurants are on the ground floor of the main building, next to which are a large pool, tennis courts, and other facilities.
