Beautiful property in the woods. The hotel restaurant serves wonderful foods. Lots of nature and fresh air. The room was good and had hot water for shower. Internet WiFi was spotty at best but we did have good mobile reception. Good location.

Beautiful Hotel, next to a river and nice garden. Weather is perfect, at around 60-75 degrees farenheit. It can get a bit chillier at night so bring a light coat. Staff is limited. They have 1 restaurant and 1 coffee shop which was closed. They don’t offer room service. Price was very decent. I would stay again.

Buen Lugar
El hotel esta muy bonito, comodo, buen restaurante, la pasamos muy bien!!!!. Solo dos cosas por mejorar, no tiene aire acondicionado, lo entiendo porque el lugar es fresco, pero en ese caso las ventanas deben tener malla anti insectos cosa que uno pueda abrir las ventanas sobre todo en la noche para que la habitacion se ventile. Por lo demás excelente, las vistas son espectaculares

It's an escape for one night. The house is dark, for its size there was no sufficient lights. Despite a space in a kitchen there was a refridgerator only, no coffee maker, no wash sink. A good restaurant is on the site. Beautiful nature and kids playground to spend a half day there.

Cute outdoor hotel on mountain stream
The grounds were nice walkways around the various rooms, and a fish pond. The hotel is on a nice mountain stream. The room was aged a bit, but comfortable except there was no hot water. This is not always needed in Panama, but in the mountains it is. The "A" restaurant was fine, but the grill was ordinary bar food quality. There is nothing in town (which is only a few houses). This is a stopping off point for things in the area.

I chose this hotel because on Expedia it was indicated that there is a Spa, pool and that you can get massages. In the end there was no such option on the property, so that was very disappointing. We did not get free coffee with our breakfast, although it should have been included. Overall the stay was okay.

Very disappointed with this hotel. We were 5 adults and 2 little girls so I ordered the 9 people room. We arrived afternoon, the room was freezing and it has no heater. It was actually colder inside the room than outside. There was no hot water in the shower, I went twice to the front desk to tell them about it and only at the second time they sent someone. He said he fixed it and that we should wait 15 minutes and try again but guess what- it didn’t help. In addition to that the roof was leaking so we had water drops all over the main dining area. We asked to talk to the manager of the property but were told that he’s not coming and we can’t speak to him and that any compensation is not even considered. Very poor customer service regarding handling complaints. Needless to say that we won’t be staying in this hotel ever again. P.S, in the hotel’s home page in Expedia it’s mentioned that they speak both English and Spanish. None of the staff spoke English.

By far exceeded our expectations. The staff was friendly, rooms were clean and spacious, and the food in the restaurant was delicious. We even did the zip line, it was two short lines but fun. We will be back!
