We had a nice stay. Our room was clean and breakfast was good. Pool and pool area were quiet and relaxing. We had no hot water and we were supposed to have a ‘terrace’ but our room just had a window.
Loved the artwork on display!

Room was fine, no complaints. Clean, comfortable beds. Easy parking. Breakfast was ok, not great, but it’s included, so again, no complaints. It would have been nice if coffee was available before the breakfast area opened, as it opened a bit later than the advertised 6:30. Room was quiet, shower had good water pressure. Convenient & well-priced option for a one night stay before an early flight. Italian restaurant was decent for dinner.

The property is nice, but a little dated. Its very central and easy to get places from by Uber. If youre looking to go to Boquete its about a 45 min Uber drive and can be a little slow finding an Uber on the way back.

The pool area and Gym are really nice. The room smelled of mold. There wad a spot light shining into the room all night so the curtains didn't keep out much light. We booked a suite because it advertised a separate room but it was just a regular room with a couch and a desk.
