“Gamboa”

Excellent place, I been to Costa Rica and Panama at least 15 times and this was one of the most memorable places I have visited. It is quiet and isolated but if what you are looking for is a 3 or 4 day getaway from the bustling crowd, this is it! It is a 20 minute ride to busy Panama City but totally isolated. The food is good and the natural rainforest couldn't be better. I highly recommend it and will go back!

“Wonderful!”

This hotel was wonderful. The common spaces were beautiful, the rooms were comfortable with large bathrooms. The patios overlooked the Chagres river and hotel pool. The hotel offers many tours to explore the surrounding rainforest. The guides were informative and pleasant. The hotel was located near the Panama Canal which was visable from the Marina Resteraunt. The food was a little pricey but good. Do not leave without having the ceviche.

“Everything was great, room, foor, pool, and tours”

Beautiful Hotel overlooking the Chargres River. The Hotel offers Camopy tours (not zip line) anyone would enjoy. A guide accompanies you on the tour pointing out flora, fauna, tucans, capivaries, parrots. iguanas etc.

“Great place to stay”

Read some of the poor reviews after we booked and was concerned. After staying there, I don't know what their problem was, the place was excellent, food was great, and you could not ask for better friendlier service. The place is in the tropics so it takes a lot of work to stay ahead of mold, mildew, etc. but they were cleaning and staying ahead of it. Our room was perfectly clean. If we ever go back to Panama, we would stay there again.

“Tropical outpost resort”

Rooms spacious, nice appointments and the view from the balcony is wonderful. Actually, views outdoors from anywhere on the property are interesting. The food is a little boring after a day or two and the staff needs a little more (!) training, but everyone is friendly and smiles. Be sure to eat at Los Largartos, on the river with a view of the one-lane bridge and Canal. It is a little far to walk but the hotel van will run you over there. We enjoyed the pool and only saw one mosquito in four days (and it was on the balcony of the bar). Our highlight was the Smithsonian hike at Barro Colorado. Be sure to make resv. and do this.

Exceptionally helpful staff, gorgeous surroundings of rainforest and river, very good food, very beautiful and well kept grounds, great tram ride and observation tower, a stunning and relaxing place to enjoy nature. Would recommend whole heartedly.

“Great location for relaxing”

The location of this hotel is fantastic - right on the banks of the canal and in the middle of the rainforest. There are also quite a few things to do on the resort - quite pricey though. The drawback is there is nothing else nearby and only 2 restaurants on site. I would not want to stay there more than a few days as I think it could get quite boring. Perfect for relaxation though. I highly recommend the Monkey Island trip and the aerial tram - both really good trips.

“Tranquility at its best!!!”

This beautiful resort is just far enough out the city to be extremely relaxing and peaceful. I used to live in Panama 25 yrs ago and was not expecting the level of hotel quality that we found in the middle of the rainforest. It looked like each balcony came with a hammock, which was wonderful to relax in during the evening while listening to peaceful sounds of the rainforest. Only a few of the hotel staff knew some english, so you might want to brush up on your spanish or buy a guide before you go, and the restaurants were a little pricey, but then we expected that since you don't really have any alternative options. We didn't eat at one of the restaurants there since it had a dress code and we only traveled with shorts. I HIGHLY recommend eating lunch at the restaurant down by the boat docks at least once. Best meal with the best view!

“Beautiful hotel/property and wonderful experience”

The property and parts of the hotel are gorgeous--breathtaking, even. The view was spectacular from our balcony. The rooms were nice and comfortable. The outings and tours offered by the hotel were great fun--especially the boat ride on Gatun Lake. The pool was beautiful and large, and we really enjoyed all of the outdoor dining spots. On the property or in the nearby area, we saw many wild animals and birds. Our only negative experiences at the hotel involved customer service. However, we learned from experience that this is not just an issue at this hotel, but also in restaurants and hotels throughout the Panama City area. When we first arrived, the hotel staff did not give us a suite as we had ordered from Expedia, but rather two non-adjoining rooms, so my husband, children, and I had to split up. They allowed us to move to adjoining rooms the next day, but we never got a suite. (Since we ended up with two bathrooms, however, it was fine.) Second, when ordering food or drinks, we would have to wait very long periods of time for service--including something as simple as a cup of coffee. Finally, we were more than a little surprised at how few people on the staff spoke English. All of this being said, our experience was very enjoyable and I would love to have stayed longer and would be happy to return in the future.
