El lugar es estupendo, solo que necesita un poco más de mantenimiento
Pros:

Ubicación, es un sitio ideal para conectarse con la naturaleza

Cons:

El aire acondicionado no enfriaba, luego en la madrugada empezó hacer un ruido espantoso, la piscina le falta mantenimiento, los restaurantes necesitan tener una mejor atención y rapidez, espere por un hamburguesa más de 40 minutos y vino fría

Top lokatie
Pros:

Fantastisch uitzicht
Lekker ontbijt
Mooi zwembad
Behulpzaam personeel

Cons:

Kamers waren erg vochtig
Airco aan en er stond een vochtmachine op de kamer die was heel groot en veel herrie moest je 4 keer per dag leegmaken zoveel vocht

very disappointing experience
Pros:

Poor room quality and horrible service. Had loads of insects in my room, got moved to another room where the AC was not working, then to another room where humidity was horrible, then to another room and so on.... horrible quality and ruined my whole stay

Cons:

Service is not good. Quality of food is not amazing but the rooms are in pretty bad condition, and I know because they moved me between like 4 of them so sadly I got a good look. Totally not worth the money

Nice and upscale hotel in tropical setting - highly recommend for a tropical time-out!
Pros:

Fantastic place in the jungle of Panama. The room was really big, and spotless clean. The staff (even though they all speak very little English) was very attentive and helpful at any time. The room overlooked the river and on the terrace was a hammock. The food and drinks were delicious. And the pool is huge. Also there is a pool bar, serving great cocktails while at the pool. The hotel offers excursions of which the monkey island tour I can highly recommend!

Cons:

Should have stayed longer... (so no, nothing I didn't like there)
