Pros:

la situation la vue la piscine

Cons:

le fait qu'on refuse le paiement oar carte est pour moi inacceptable. Le logement-,la construction est quand on regarde de près, tres vétuste. Les alimentations électriques certainement oas aux normes memes oanameennes (des fils qui se baladent sans protection...). Le personnrl ne parle pas anglais. Pour conclure un hébergement cher - comparé a d'autres - pour les prestations proposées

Pros:

La AMABILIDAD del personal 😘
La piscina

Cons:

Es difícil encontrar la entrada del hotel, la ubicación que te envían, indica que el hotel está del otro lado de la carretera y el nombre que aparece a la entrada NO corresponde al nombre del hotel de la reserva.. ???!!
En la habitación estaría bien unas pequeñas mesitas
En la ducha apenas sale agua
Sería conveniente indicar en la descripción del hotel que hay muchas escaleras y que no es apto para minusválidos

It’s really the perfect place if you’re looking for a small resort that is fairly secluded, but also has all the ameniti
Pros:

I loved everything about this place! It’s very secluded, but there’s a store about a seven minute walk where you can get anything that you need, plus Jose was an amazing host and was always willing to arrange a taxi in case you don’t have a car.

Cons:

Nothing…. there was really nothing about this property that I didn’t like!

Breathtaking views!!
Pros:

This is an amazing place! The view is breathtaking. The pool so beautiful an convenient. Thank you so much Argenis for your excellent customer service! Also the ladies at the kitchen were very nice! Please know that to get to the crystal water beaches you needed to take a boat, we went to Playa Huerta and from Portobello’s Marina is only a 5 minute ride.

Cons:

There was a particular odor coming from the back of the kitchen, at the same time I believe maybe was propane. This seems common in some places in Panama.

The staff, the grounds, the bohio, the pool, the view all made the stay fabulous. Got to meet other guests which was lov
Pros:

The staff, grounds, pool, restaurant and balconies.

Cons:

The rooms were rustic and sufficient however it would have been nice to have a small refrigerator in the room. Also a few hooks to hang bags, clothing etc. A close line in the shower to hang bathing suits.

Un sitio ideal
Pros:

Alojamiento estupendo en mitad del Caribe panameño, enfrente de Isla Mamey. El encargado del alojamiento es encantador y muy atento. Las instalaciones están cuidadas y son muy confortables. Merece mucho la pena.
