    Nice place which needs some renovations

    The room we had was run down and could def. use some renovations. It was kept very clean and tidy by the staff, but old says old nontheless. You have to pass through the common area to your outside shower and there were no hooks to hang uo clothes or towels in the shower.

    The hotel is close to everything (town and both beaches). Our bar keeper made the best pina Coladas and Caipirinhas we had in Panama. The outdoor shower was super cool since we could have a nice hit shower while it poured down during the typical wet-season thunderstorms.

    Restaurant was pretty expensive only ate there once.

    Room was super nice with space, nice bathroom and Netflix. Pool area, sunset deck and direct access to the beach were amazing. Loved our time here very good spot to chill.

    After 1 night stay, the AC broke and they couldn't fix it so we had to move all our things to a different room. But that room had alot of electricity outage and after every outage the boiler for the warm water gave out and had to be reset. It was difficult to have a constant warm water temperature for a good shower.

    Nice and clean pool. Good view of the sunset and sea form the restaurant. The rooms are clean and the beds are soft and comfy. The staff are very friendly, although they don't speak alot of english.

    The room was very small. We did not have a refrigerator which was very inconvenient. It’s not really on the ocean because you can’t go onto the beach.

    The. Pool and lower deck on the ocean was great. The staff was amazing.

    Would have been nice to have the bed made up in the morning

    Great location, loved the terraces, infinity pool, searing deck overlooking the water. The staff, Gabriel and team were very helpful and friendly. The room was comfortable and well appointed. The shampoos and soaps were great too!

    Just one burger i had for dinner. The meat was not of great quality, and the food took more than an hour to get to us.

    Everything seemed very clean, no bad smells, no humidity inside the rooms. Staff was extremely nice, absolutetly loved them.

    Not related to the property. The road towards Santa Catalina area(where the property is) is under construction, last 10km or so still dirt road and small cars might have some issues(we had a 4x4 not knowing this) so would recommend to go with a slightly bigger car than a sedan.

    We stayed for 4 days/3nights, overall it was an amazing experience(special shoutout to Henry from the bar - the guy was the best!) and definitely we will be looking to come back. Hotel facilities - the whole setup is amazing, this is a small hotel(which we loved as even if full it doesn’t feels crowded) with hammocks outside every room, an infinity pool that gives a great sunset view and a restaurant with very good food quality( not overpriced!) Room - we had 2 queen beds for me my wife and 2kids, plenty of space, A/C and hot water in case you really need it, very clean and the offer every day cleaning and every other day change of linens Staff - very welcoming, they all made our stay amazing helping us with every question we had, tour, food, drinks, etc.

    The walkways getting to the rooms were a bit steep and the stair threads were different heights a bit of a tripping hazard

    It was quiet . Beds and pillows were comfortable . Had a nice little garden to sit in . The grounds at the property were really nice . They had a smaller restaurant and bar . The food was really good and the drinks were good .

    The unit we stayed in for the first 2 nights ( Salvia ) it was older and needed an upgrade . It was quite loud when people were outside you could hear them talking . The tree above our room dropped some kind of green seeds the size of golf balls and when they landed on the plastic thatch roof and aluminum roofs of the adjacent building it was super loud and annoying all night . The third night we had to change rooms due to ours was already booked and we stayed in the San Palo room and it was super quiet. Beds were comfortable it had a nice little garden to sit in .

    The beds were comfortable . The view and decks were nice .

    Customer service was nonchalant. They needed to be reminded repeatedly to fix minor issues with room (no hot water).

    Beautiful view, even though the weather did not permit us to enjoy. Room was comfortable and well sized.

    Friendly and accommodating staff. Rooms are nice and clean with hot shower. The exterior space and pool is amazing, with a direct access to the beach. Close to everything. Pet friendly. It is possible to book activities at the hotel. We came for 3 days and ended staying 8, we loved the place

    The room renovation was not fully done or it was not done correctly, eg sink not tighten and walls still have spotted stucco. Food was a bit pricey for what is offered at restaurant, more high end dining in Panama.

    It’s modern and nice beach view and close to the beach.
