The hotel is located in a fantastic location but is very outdated. There are many excursions possible. The breakfast as well as the evening buffet is simple. The food is lukewarm and not hot and therefore disappointing.
A hotel that one has to choose for the location.

It is in the entrance of rainforest jungle. At night, you hear many animal sound. The soundproof is really bad. You can hear not only animals but all the tv, shower, toiler, etc that human can make.
The dinner buffet is not good. The food at the bar is bad.
And the tour cost is crazily expensive.

Este hotel es una maravilla! Las zonas comunes son increíbles, las vistas espectaculares. Desayunamos en la terraza del salón (buffet riquísimo, con muchísima variedad) mientras veíamos toda serie de aves, entre ellos bandadas de tucanes. La piscina es espectacular y realmente se encuentra en un lugar único.
Si te gustan los animales como a nosotros, en cuanto salimos de la habitación, en el mismo pasillo vimos a monos tití y ñeques. Es cierto que las habitaciones son un poco antiguas y bien podrían poner por ejemplo un secador de pelo. Pero la verdad es que finalmente no nos importó porque el lugar en sí es maravilloso.

The location and property are amazing! So peaceful, clean, friendly staff. It seems like a real missed opportunity though because the food is terrible! There is no coffee option before 8am and then you have to pay $25 for a very mediocre buffet. At 9am the monkey bar opens so you can get a coffee or espresso there. We ate one breakfast buffet and one dinner in the restaurant and both were enough to convince us not to eat there again. What you can eat: Caesar salad at the monkey bar was totally decent. Yuca fries were great! French fries were pretty good. We loved hanging around in our balcony in our hammock. The view was incredible. The pool is also very nice. Clean, great service at the pool bar. We did the complimentary night time safari and saw a lot of wildlife. Wild boars, caiman, sloth, turtles and some cool birds. We also did the aerial tram which I world not recommend. It was okay. Not worth the money at all though. Just go for a walk. Our visit to the local indigenous village was interesting, but strange. It felt contrived and awkward. Our guide didn’t speak very much English and was supposed to be our interpreter for the excursion. The fish they made us was though! Other animals we saw on property included monkeys, agouti, frogs, lizards and iguanas and so so many parrots and other birds.

Everything was top-notch! Firm, comfortable beds, fabulous, clean bathroom, fantastic view from the balcony overlooking the river. Outstanding choice of foods for meals. The only drawback is the thin walls between the rooms. There are many tours available, but we did not take any of them.

Really disappointed in this place. I had high hopes when booking. Booked online and don’t read the fine print. Please be careful if you decide to stay here. Do your research. Their cancelation fee is equal to the total booking price even if you get the higher rate for cancelation. A complete and total ripoff. I will be making a point to steer fellow people in the birding community away from this establishment. My wife was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and wanted to reschedule the four night stay for when she had time to recover from surgery. The $700.00 fee was a slap in the face. Unbelievable. Went through the formal appeal process and was denied without explanation. Worth the price in the end because any reasonable person would not want to stay here with these type of owners. What a scam.

Impromptu two nights stay on our way back to Panama City. The staff was wonderful, and we took advantage of the tours. The river view room with a hammock on the balcony was a bonus. Restaurant food was well prepared, and the rooms were spacious

Wonderful location. the hotel is surrounded by nature. you can see wild animals in the garden of the hotel. the hotel needs some renovation. the rooms are not always as clean as they should be. the hotel offers some excursions, but these are very expensive and not value the money they are asking. a simpel activity as aerial tram costs more than 45 USD, which is not worth for what you get to see.
