Hotels near Kumana National Park, Panama

Location location location... Over comfort.. rustic over all

We had a lovely stay at secret paradise panama. The name really fits the place. The host is really friendly and also a lovely chef so would definitely recommend having a meal with her during your stay!

Very nice homestay and good location for a Kumana National Park safari, which can be arranged by the host Rosie. Also, good access to peanut farm beach and walk distance to the rock. And the breakfast, lunch, and dinner of Rosie is the best.

My stay at wild edge panama was perfect.The combination of a great location, excellent service,comfortable rooms and top notch amenities made it a memorable experience. I will definitely choose wild edge for my future visit to kumana national park.

Wild Waves Hotel is the place to stay if you are interested in Safari within Kumana National Park. We had an exceptional driver as good an animal spotter as our guide!. We were lucky enough to have him as our guide. He knew so much about the animals and their behaviors. It gave us the best chance of having so many great leopard/animal encounters. The food and hotel staff was also fantastic. If I come back to Sri Lanka I would skip Yala National Park and come here for a few nights more. There is no mobile signal in Kumana to alert other drivers to where wildlife is so usually the leopard encounters are just yourself and no-one else. Just note - the national park is still about 30 minutes drive away from the hotel (but this is the nearest hotel to Kumana entrance) and Panama is a quiet place (more peaceful than Arugum Bay). Its def not a party place like Arugum bay. Safaris are from 5am until about 6.30pm. Hotel charges only for the private safari cab. No any hidden charges. We can pay directly to the tickets at the entrance gate. I would also recommend maybe bringing a neck buff and protection for expensive camera equipment (towel to cover). There is a lot of dust that kicks up off the road. This Hotel arranges food with parcels if you select full day safari. Wild Waves Kumana Hotel was my best selection.
