A little dated but the wildlife, tours and scenery are soooo worth it
Pros:

Scenery is breathtaking! So is the wildlife. We had a blast on the tours especially the boat tour, night safari and zip lines

Cons:

Hotel is a little dated and the rooms do have a little funk from the humidity. Then again, you are in the rainforest. I don’t rate the fishing trip.

Pros:

De-humidifier in the room was a really great addition to our comfort - to make the most of the benefit, it did need to be emptied two or three times through the day.

Thank you for making our stay so special!
Pros:

We were celebrating our 40th anniversary the first time we stayed at Gamboa Rainforest Resort back in June 2017. We've been blessed to be able to return many times since then. Returning to Gamboa Rainforest Resort to celebrate anniversary #49 just seemed natural..and we are so glad we did. The staff was super friendly and kind. They really made our 49th Anniversary very very special. We love Gamboa Rainforest Resort and look forward to returning again soon!

Pros:

Beautiful view, comfortable rooms, fun little night adventure included

Cons:

The place is a bit dated. That didn't bother so much, but the fact that the hotel is quite secluded - no good restaurants around or places to go besides tours - this makes for a kind of holiday which isn't quite our style.

Soggiorno immersi nella giungla!
Pros:

Bellissimo resort immerso nella natura. Personale gentile e disponibile, cibo molto buono. Abbiamo apprezzato molto l’uscita notturna per avvistare gli animali e il giro in barca! Consigliato!
