Cleanliness
6.8
Several guests mention the pool was visibly dirty and one report of loud events affecting room comfort; cleanliness concerns around pool and noise lowered this score.

9.2
Consistently praised: great setting close to canal, Gamboa and easy access to attractions; one comment noted it feels a bit far from town but overall location is a strong positive.

8.3
Strong offerings: tours, trails, butterfly garden, frog house, golf and all‑inclusive options praised. However, pool issues and limited activity access/times detract somewhat.

Pros:

Zona piscina y senderos practicables

Cons:

Se trata de un hotel bastante antiguo, en el cual habría que renovar cosas. Chapado a la antigua, precio excesivo para cómo está el hotel actualmente.

The staff friendliness and positive attitude made up the whole experience.
Pros:

I was amazed by the attentiveness of the staff. They were really the star of our experience. Buffet dinner and breakfast were pretty good.

Cons:

It gets pretty crowded, specially during check-in. The pool was visibly dirty, we didn't get in for the whole stay. Activities times/options are rather limited, specially considering we're only staying one night, the trail can only be accessed with the staff, so we couldn't even go for a hike at our leisure. Lunch buffet didn't quite cut it.

Cadre naturel magnifique !
Pros:

Hotel un peu ancien mais très bien dans l'ensemble. Chambre spacieuse et literie très confortable. Petit déjeuner très copieux. Le cadre est magnifique ! C'est un endroit dépaysant et reposant. On a apprécié la visite du centre de papillons gratuit . Par contre si vous voulez visiter la ville c'est un peu éloigné, mais nous n'avons pas eu de soucis, on a pris un taxi ou Uber.

Fantastic vacation in the rain forest.
Pros:

The location was amazing and so was the staff, always friendly and helpful. Awesome guides on hikes and tours in the rain forest, along the golf course, the butterfly garden and the frog house. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet and the food in the restaurant was delicious. The resort is in a great location so it is easy to get to the canal, Gamboa and even Casco Viejo is not too far. My only regret was not playing golf on this trip. Next time!

Espero que mejoren por el bien del hotel.
Pros:

El tour.

Cons:

El personal es bastante mal educado, no tiene tacto con los huéspedes, sentí que me estaban regalando todo, además cuando llegue a las instalaciones las habitaciones no estaban listas.
Es primera vez que me pasa esto en un hotel en Panamá.
