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.

Immersione nel parco nazionale di Soberania
Pros:

La posizione incredibile, il Parco naturale circostante, la possibilità di effettuare discussioni, la vista dalla camera

Cons:

Anche in funzione del prezzo, la ristorazione non è adeguata, neppure il servizio qualunque sia volenteroso, la dimensione dell’albergo spersonalizza un pochino l’esperienza

Altes Ressort in Gamboa
Pros:

Gute Lage, um die Wanderwege in Soberanía zu erreichen. Im Ressort selber war das Essen sehr reichhaltig, Zimmer groß mit Balkon, sehr großer Pool

Cons:

Die Öffnungszeiten des Pools, man könnte abends gar nicht hin, selbst die Türen waren verschlossen. Die Touren waren zu teuer. Alles etwas in die Jahre gekommen

Pros:

L'hotel e la vista che si gode dall hotel e dalle camere è semplicemente fantastica.. la stanza è davvero spaziosa con aria condizionata, deumidificatore,minibar (che funzionava benissimo).. i letti erano comodi e c'erano tutti i prodotti per il bagno.. consiglio di prendere la colazione all'hotel che è davvero ottima e ogni giorno diversa, con opzioni dolci, salate, tanta frutta..

Cons:

L'hotel è dotato di un banco per organizzare gite ma ha dei prezzi davvero cari, stesso discorso per il bar e il ristorante (che però non abbiamo provato).. la cosa migliore è avere la macchina per essere indipendenti.. una nota sulla piscina, quando siamo andati il primo giorno l'acqua era molto verde e con alghe, ammetto che siamo andati a fine giornata e non siamo più tornati quindi non so se è stato un caso o meno.. comunque il posto è splendido e noi torneremmo super volentieri anche solo per l'ambiente

The breathtaking views & surroundings, and welcoming atmosphere makes it an unique experience
Pros:

What an incredible location, right in the middle of the rainforest, with a breathtaking view from the balcony! The lady at reception was absolutely charming and incredibly helpful.
The night safari was short, but definitely fun and a unique experience. We also highly recommend the dinner buffet. It was well replenished with good-quality food, especially once the families had finished their dinner.

Cons:

The property is somewhat dated, and while the rooms have been “renovated,” the fresh coat of paint still gives them a pleasant and comfortable feel. But honestly, the view makes up for everything, it is absolutely spectacular and the real highlight of the stay.
