We stayed three wonderful nights in this gem of a property. Tatiana and Jonathan, the new owners, are incredibly friendly and excellent hosts of this truly intimate hotel. We stayed in the Coronado Beach loft room with it’s private terrace and outdoor kitchen. The breakfasts were amazing and in the evening we hung out in the common areas swimming, playing pool and listening to the eclectic playlist playing in the background. The beach is a short walk away and very easy to get to. I highly recommend Casa Swell if you are staying in Coronado. Keep an eye out for Murphy the resident feline as he’s really the one in charge 😉.
Nothing! Everything was great. The new owners are working to make the place their own and are making constant upgrades and enhancements so I am sure it will continue to improve.

Casa Swell, in my opinion, has quite a few positives along with negatives; honestly it just wasn’t for us. We stayed only 2 of the 7 nights we had booked. A few things you may want to consider before booking.
Positives:
The grounds are beautiful and clean, including the pool. Additionally, Jay will offer tours for payment, and share his knowledge of the Coronado area including real estate.
Our private bedroom and bathroom included a large shower. The room had a king bed, a twin bed and a trundle bed.
Along with the pool, we had use of a communal outdoor covered kitchen and outdoor communal living room area with multiple seating options and a pool table.
Negatives:
Although the grounds of Casa Swell are beautiful, we ended up only staying 2 of the 7 nights we had reserved.
In our room we had to step up and down from the concrete bed platform to the concrete floor. I am older and the raised concrete platform bed to a concrete floor and back up was rough for me, especially in the middle of the night for a bathroom run.
It was also difficult having no where to sit in our room, other than the bed or on concrete. There are no chairs in your room, however there are 2 chairs to sit in just outside your door. Panamá is hot and humid, there are times I want to be in air-conditioning sitting in a chair.
The other issue to consider is the need to go to the outdoor communal kitchen for all liquids and food. It sounded good to us at first, however since no food can be in your room; it is difficult to run to the refrigerator later at night in your pajamas and have to finish all items there in your pajamas with others around.
On the flip side one does get to run into and meet other guests easily.
I think part of the issue is Casa Swell is marketed as a “Luxury” location. For us, it does not meet the definition of luxury. Very nice and clean, yes; however luxury, not by my standards.
Outcome:
We spoke with Jay, who said he would not charge us for a tour he provided, and said to contact Booking.com regarding a refund (we booked thru Booking.com). He said Booking would then reach out to him.
We did contact Booking.com; they called Jay. Booking.com told us we would receive a full refund for the nights we did not stay and sent us an email stating the specific dollar amount we would receive.
We did receive a credit from Casa Swell, but it is 30% less than what Booking.com said we would receive.
I notified Booking.com and
Jay has since sent me numerous emails explaining why we did not receive 30% of the refund including that the woman who called him from Booking.com didn’t understand what he said.
