Hotel el sol is one of the best places I have ever stayed. It is immaculately clean, bright, airy and welcoming. The rooms are very pretty and well maintained and each floor has a lovely lounge area.

Although a bit outside of the hustle and bustle of Pana, Hotel El Sol provides very clean rooms. Owned by a japanese family, it also has a japanese restaurant. It is quite easy to take a tuk tuk into town and the people that run the hotel are accommodating.

The owner was always at hand to help us and was very friendly. The bathroom was of a good size as was the bedroom. The only... More
