Hotel Ancón

Frommer's Review

While this place definitely plays second fiddle to the neighboring Brisas Trinidad del Mar, the Hotel Ancón is nonetheless a good option for travelers looking for plenty of services and amenities on the beach at a reasonable price. The older-style hotel -- a large Soviet block plunked down on the sand -- is pretty uninspiring, and rooms are moderate in size and rather simply decorated (bare-bones, even). About half of the rooms have oceanview balconies, and these are a definite plus. Still, we recommend you ask for a room in the newer wing, although these are in no way new, having been built in 1995. Rooms here have either mountain or sea views, and slightly more space and more modern decor. Activities include salsa and language classes, volleyball, aerobics, and more.
