Some good information, but it was a little weird watching a Panama beach video when none of the B-Roll of beaches came from Panama. I think it defeats the purpose and is misleading. Also, the video failed to mention many of the best beach towns like Pedasi and Playa Venao. I couldn't help getting the impression you haven't spent much (if any) time in Panama.
Unfortunately the pics and videos you show e.g. from Coronado are not from Coronado. I live there, so I know. Absolutely misleading Video. Seems that you do not know what you are talking about. I know NO place in Panama where a couple could live a Western Lifestyle with 1100 USD. This is ridiculous. May be in your Twenties, living a Robinson Life, live from rice, fish and papaya in a typical cheap tico home without modern amenities... Most expats here are retirees, used to luxury stuff like: an own car, eating out, hobbies like tennis, golf, fishing, pickle ball, paddel, being used to US or European foods, e.g good quality beef, milk products, alcohol, ice cream, chocolates, cappuccino..... Did you further take into account things like the oh so non important health insurance? Trust me, a minimal! health insurance plan for 67 yr old couple with co pagos of 30% costs 320 USD a month. Car Insurance 50 USD TV and Internet 75 USD Rent a 2 bedroom 2 bath appartement at Western Standards at the beach minimum 1000 USD. No way in Coronado, much higher there... We are a couple in our early sixties and we need 600-800 USD for groceries a month. Don't be fooled, Panamá is wonderful, but not low price.
Very misleading. Not what it looks like in Coronado and Gorhona at all. Sounds like you pulled up an AI script and found some pics of some random beaches but not of here and where did you get the order of "best"? Def thumbs down
My husband and I were watching this video, and we were about to plan to visit Coronado on an upcoming vacation in September because of this video. Thank goodness I read the comments! What is wrong with you, lady? Why would you use video of beaches not in Panama! Misleading videos are not helpful. On the contrary, they are harmful.
Coronado is horrible. The main road is in desperate need of major repairs. It's filled with potholes, speedbumps, and patchwork at varying heights relative to the original surface. The side streets are mostky dirt, but sone have a smttering of two of gravel. The #1 car repair here is to struts and shocks, and many people get an alignment every 6 months. Power outages are common, often several in a day. Surprisingly, water shortages are even more common. People at the golf course residencesoften godays without running tap water. In the US and Canada, Coronado would be called a slum. Shower water often smells like sewer water, even in Coronado Bay. And oftentimes, like May 2024, the entire area stinks of sewer gas. This is not the place anyone dreamed about during a 40 year career.
That’s not the Coronado we visited last year! Not sure where you got your pics, prices and information! Wow!

I would love to see the same type of video comparing Pedasi, Las Tablas, and Chitre. Love your videos and appreciate the info.
Thank you! Stay tuned!
Can’t wait 2 move 2 Panama!

Images are misleading; borderline false for Coronado and Gorgona. Overall info given is about right.
Love your video. Can you do a review of the best mountain towns for living in Panama?
Thank you, Kelly. Yes, absolutely. Stay tuned!
Well done - short format, informational, with nice images. Liked and subbed. I also second the other two comments requesting additional topics. 😃
I prefer a place that’s on the Caribbean side.
I would love to know more about internet access and speeds in those beach towns.
Do you offer private tours for solo females?
Bocas del touro❤
Great information
Are all these visuals from the exact locations?
Idk where she got those pics but do not rep pty AT ALL
I live there..no
I don’t think any of the video is from anywhere in Panama.
