While it isn’t the newest in the area it does have incredible views, extremely friendly staff, good food & drinks, and spacious rooms. They help with tours of the area and provide a free nighttime wildlife tour that is 25 minutes long. This is a must see & stay in Panama. ##### Aaron Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shannon 21 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel and grounds are wonderful.

Some areas of the facility need a little TLC/maintenance upgrades, but certainly can't beat the views from the balcony's. SIMPLY BREATHTAKING! ##### William Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Madhusudan 14 Feb 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities The location is Great ! The food is very expensive..if you stay here you don’t have any alternative you have eat the hotel food. The hotel does not even provide tooth paste. They will only give you 2 towels…it is very human and hot…so you will need more than one shower…but you will get only one towel per day per person. The room floors are oily and slippery…and the room smells a little…you will need a few hours to get used to it. Beware of mosquitos …you can’t stay out after dark…they will eat you alive!! ##### Madhusudan Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lorraine 7 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Very nice property, service a little slow but everyone was so nice! ##### Lorraine Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Milithza O. Silva 25 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The most amazing thing about this property was that is located in the middle of a National Park and all the surrounding scenery was spectacular. The rooms have wonderful views of the River and in the morning when you wake up and get out on the balcony you can enjoy your coffee while watching and hearing lovely and colorful birds or even spotting other wildlife (eg agouti, sloths, etc). Another fabulous thin about this hotel where all the extracurricular activities available from the Hotel. The staff from the Tour desk were very helpful to coordinate visits to the trails, or the boat tour or cable car, bird watching hikes, night safari... So really you could spend several days and just enjoy the nature nearby. The only thing that could be improved would be to add a spa/sauna/massage and a gym to completely round up the relaxing experience. ##### Milithza O. Silva Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ngar 6 Mar 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities The resort area and view is very beautiful. I'd say the hotel condition is still solid 3 star hotel. It's a bit dated but not too bad. The hotel lobby is grand and beautiful and well maintained. Lots of activities to keep you busy. The resort staff are very nice and hard working and mostly speak good English. The tour guides, boat and truck drivers are working very hard to give you best experience and are very pleasant people. Monday is off for all excursions (except the free night tour) so plan accordingly. I like that there is a dehumidifier in the room so the humidity was improved by that. The room is very clean. However the pillows and blanket were not clean or might not been washed after previous guests. They were stinky and smelled like someone's sweat, very gross. The food is very good although they are all buffets. The hotel is busy with lots of day guests. It seems very popular with families of young kids. ##### Ngar Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Brad 18 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Not 5 star (as posted, at least in Google Maps). The receptionists did not acknowledge us at first, then gave a rude waving of the hand when they were finally ready. The receptionist gave us bad directions to our rooms and gave us no information on what was available at the resort (tours, food, services, etc.). Tour desk was absolutely rude. There were three of them and they never looked up. We asked about the aerial tram and she asked for a name and then expected that to be the end of the conversation. A/c in one room didn’t work well. The rooms are outdated. No information on any services present in the room. We weren’t informed about the complimentary night safari and then when we asked if we could join, we were told that it was full. At least then we were told to show up and see if there are any no shows. There was no evidence of concierge. It was nice that our rooms were next to each other but it was weird that only one of the rooms had a door that locked between the two rooms. One room had a dehumidifier, but not the other. Found a dried contact on the toilet paper. ##### Brad Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Nancy 16 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Rainforest gem close to Panama City This resort is practically in the city, yet is set in a beautiful rainforest. The river view from the balcony and the toucans overhead truly made it feel remote. While the grounds could use some work, the main building has the charm of a historic inn with its large windows providing sun for the plants surrounding an indoor waterfall. The extensive breakfst buffet was good and the pool quite large. Some tips: there is absolutely no information given and if you don't know the right questions to ask you will never discover the trails on the property, that you can rent kayaks, or where the tour booth is ( since no one is in the lobby tour booth.) Also note that this resort has a day use rate for local families coming from the city on weekends. It was more crowded but not a problem. A free "night tour" is offered to all guests where a noisy deisel safari truck picks you up at the front door and roars down the lane with the guide shining his light to find the wildlife that all ran and hid. Another quirky thing was the rhythmic drum beat at 6:30 AM on Saturday that the timekeeper in the boat on the river uses to keep the rowing team in sync. This is a fabulous place for bird watching as well as Pipeline Road which is close by. Don't forget your binoculars like I did. The weekend dinner buffet was good at $22pp but the only other place for dinner on the property was the bar with pretty high prices. There is a small grocer and local restaurant a 10 minute drive away in Gamboa. ##### Nancy Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### María del Carmen 5 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Personal sumamente amable, la habitación espaciosa y el lugar muy acogedor.

Food prices wee obscenely absurd. We paid $50 for two ham and cheese sandwiches. At breakfast the scrambled eggs were runny, and room temperature. At dinner, the mashed potatoes served were as cool as the eggs. No wash rags are provided in the rooms. If you want to scrub you make do with full size hand towels. Salt and pepper must be requested at every meal. ##### Mel Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vicki 8 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice, spacious, very comfortable room and bathroom. Balcony had beautiful scenic views. A/C could have worked a bit better but understandable due to the high heat and humidity of the rainforest. Highly recommend doing the boat ride to see and feed the monkeys.
