The hotel includes a campground, bohio and swimming pool. They also have various of parrots and macaws and a monkey.
They also have a great restaurant where the hamburgers are excellent and known throughout PANAMA. They also have home-made french fries and pies (pecan, apple, and fudge).

XS Memories Sports Bar & Grill | xsmemories@hotmail.com | | Santa Clara | 993-3096 | Review By: Mary | | Very good restaurant and bar!!
Sheila is written up in Lonely Planet for her hamburgers! A place to go watch sports on the big screen TV and talk with the owners, Sheila and Dennis.
We go over there a lot and enjoy all the sports stuff on the walls and ceilings!!
They also have a campground and small hotel. Very clean and neat. They have a lot of American food and have been here for 13+ years.
Shiela is originally from Chicago. They have the best hamburgers, pizza bread, ribs and brats for MILES around!

Anton Valley Hotel | antonvalleyhotel.com | | El Valle | 983-6097 | Review By: Mary | | Quaint little bed and breakfast right across from the Cathedral on Main Street. One block to the bakery and a couple of restaurants. Three block walk to the market.
DirecTV, mini-refrigerator, and orthopedic mattresses in the rooms. Quaint little bar and a la carte breakfast daily. They are also adding additional rooms due to their huge success. January 25, 2009 |
Barcelo/Playa Blanca | | | Farallon | 993-2910 | Review By: Mary | | This is an all inclusive resort about 1-1/2 hours from Panama City.
They have a great layout. The rooms are spacious and include a safe (no charge). Elevators in almost every building. The staff is very friendly.
The pools, bars and restaurants are fairly close together. The food is great. They have name brand liquors and the wine is from a bottle (unlike the Decameron where wine is in a box and only served with meals). Everything is on one level (NO steps).
The Barcelo is MUCH better then the Decameron. There are NO STEPS and NO extra charges for a safe in the room.
We have stayed at both the Decameron and Barcelo. The Barcelo is a greater value.

Cholo's | | | San Carlos - next to the TEXACO | 6419-4064 | Review By: Mary | | Cholo's has great MEXICAN food. Matt had fajitas that came out sizzling on a serving platter surrounded by the wooden plate holder. On the side he had refried beans, guacamole, salad, and tortilla shells. I had the enchiladas, which were to die for!! Their taco and fajita salads are excellent!
The also have salsa and cheese dip along with corn chips which was excellent!!
Everything is made fresh daily!
Pricing was very inexpensive and the drinks were also worth the trip to Choro's! They surpassed our Mexican restaurant in CHICAGO!!
Cholo's is closed Monday and Tuesdays.

Cholo's Mexican Restaurant 2 | cholosrestaurant@hotmail.com | | Coronado | 6828-7284 | Review By: Mary | | Owen and Mariella have been very successful in San Carlos and have now opened another restaurant in Coronado.
It is located on the PanAmerican Highway heading toward the city. Look for the new "CHOLO's" sign on the right side of the road and the bright orange building.
Same great menu and margaritas!! They will also be closed on Monday and Tuesday.
