Pros:

El alojamiento está ubicado en medio de un parque natural por lo que la naturaleza es increible. Nos hicieron un cambio de habitación cuando se lo pedimos. El hotel ofrece excursiones.

Cons:

El hotel está aislado totalmente. No hay nada que puedas hacer cerca si no es contratando las excursiones del hotel (y no son baratas precisamente).
De inicio nos dieron una habitación malísima (con olores y ruidos), tuvimos que pedir el cambio (que sí lo hicieron).
Las excursiones son carísimas y poco interesantes. Los animales no están sueltos en la naturaleza. Tienen un centro de recuperación de perezosos muy chulo pero, para mi gusto, convertido en un negocio. (Si fui es porque me habían vendido otra cosa).
La piscina es una guarrería. El agua está completamente verde y llena de bichos.
Claramente es un hotel que ha vivido sus años de gloria y han dejado de mantenerlo. Nada recomendable.

Experiência inesquecível
Pros:

Adorámos a nossa experiência no Gamboa Rainforest Reserve. Tivemos a oportunidade de fazer um safari noturno (uma cortesia do hotel) onde conseguimos avistar vários animais nos seus habitats naturais. Foi, sem dúvida, uma experiência incrível. Outros pontos fortes a destacar são a enorme simpatia de toda a equipa, a excelente zona da piscina., e as diversas opções de comida.

Cons:

Infelizmente, o hotel encontra-se num estado algo degradado e necessita de alguma manutenção. É pena, pois tem um potencial enorme para ser um alojamento excecional.

Pros:

Le resort Gamboa rainforest réserve est magnifique, son hall d'entrée et la vue valent le coup. Depuis le resort on peut observer certains oiseaux, iguanes, singes. Le personnel est très accueillant et agréable. Le petit déjeuner est un buffet varié et copieux. Nous n'avons pas fait d'excursions mais nous nous sommes baladés pour voir les singes au camino del oléoducto.
Concernant les restaurants du resort, nous n'avons pas testé le restaurant principal (juste 1 nuit) mais le monkeys bar était correct.

Alojamiento ideal para conocer el parque nacional Soberanía.
Pros:

La localización, el trato del personal y las actividades son excelentes.

Cons:

El servicio de comidas en general es bastante deficiente. Los bufets del desayuno y de la cena son escasos y de poca calidad. El servicio del bar es extremadamente lento. Hay que calcular 1h para un bocadillo.
