Coronado, Panama: A genuinely crappy place
-
Just returned from two weeks in Panama, including a day trip to Coronado. Panama is lovely, but Coronado is c**p. There's not much there other than private clubs. Beach access is extremely limited and there are very few restaurants. Shopping is practically non-existent. If I were to expat in Panama, I would definitely choose Panama City - clean, modern, inexpensive, very busy, lots to do and see.

We own a home just north of Coronado at Play Caracol. Our beach access is fantastic, the food is wonderful and it is quite with the most beautiful and longest beach on the Pacific side. It depends on what you want. Panama city is a big modern city where prices are similar to California where we live. We love the beach and the restaurnts in Coronado are great. It is all about what you want out of your time off in Panama. I love making our own food from fresh Longostina and fish 15 minutes away at Punta Chame and the quite of our home in Playa Caracol. We can always drive to Panama City for the day it ia 1.5 hours away for excitement.
