Recommend staying in Panama City and coming here for a day. ### 4/5 - Good Kimberly Es un hotel para descansar, no para irse de fiesta pero no me agradó que el hotel estuviese lleno y la discoteca no estuviera abierta en pleno fin de semana. Luego que cae la noche, no hay muchas actividades para hacer y queda irse a dormir. ### 3/5 - Okay Verified traveler The forest and lakes and canal were good. The resort need cleaned and better staff ### 2/5 - Disappointing Verified traveler The hotel is a bit rundown. The staff is helpful when available. For ex, new year's eve there was no communication as to dinner options and our only option ended up being rm service. Very disappointing. ## Cities near Gamboa ![Panoramic view at the Downtown of Panama City - Panama](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/2897/e48f6143-9130-47fe-8b71-977ffb07b927.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Panama City ![Protected nature surrounding Gatun Lake, a freshwater artificial lake to the south of Colón, Panama.
