It was an amazing stay, we went there for our anniversary and we had such a great time! The room was squeaky clean, the staff was very helpful always able to help with suggestions and making our stay as comfortable as possible, the beach is a few steps away and the beach chairs were so comfy.
I will definitely come back with the family! Thank you!
Laid-back hotel with friendly staff, buildings and outdoor common areas are well-maintained. We stayed with our kids (all teenagers) and spent time at the beach, the evenings hanging out in the central courtyard and walking the town. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for an out of the way hotel, but you still want to visit local restaurants and stores. The only recommendation we would make is maybe a mini-fridge in the room and our bathroom would benefit from a fan or ventilation. Other than that, our room was so cool and worked well for us! Thank you!!
What a wonderful place to find out what life on the Pacific coast of Panama is like and what it can be for you.
Brooke and her staff are everything you would want in them. Friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating and supportive.
Breakfast is included and is the only meal served daily. Definitely try El Parque restaurant in San Carlos. Delicious and inexpensive.
Being a small lodge on the ocean makes it special.
FYI: No TV, no fridge, no microwave in my room but an awesome ocean view, a comfortable bed and a large walk-in shower.
Totally recommend this resort unless you are seeking the amenities of a corporate resort.
Be warned: The pictures you're seeing of this property on Expedia tell only a fraction of the story.
Upon arrival, our Uber driver had a hard time finding the entrance. Why? Because the weathered sign doesn't make it clear as to where or if there's a lobby.
Nauwelijks te vinden. Soort van weggestopt. Wordt totaal geen Engels gesproken. Ziet er op de foto’s een stuk mooier en moderner uit dan in het echt.
In de ochtend kan er nauwelijks een goedemorgen af. Geen idee hoe het werkt met het ontbijt. De medewerkster staat achter de balie soort van administratie te doen. Wordt niet gevraagd of je een kop koffie wilt of hoe het ontbijt in zijn werk gaat. Ook niet als je al 20 minuten aan tafel zit.
Als er vervolgens een Duits gezin de kamer uit komt die vrolijk begroet wordt met een kop koffie is dat voor mij een teken om uit te checken en elders te ontbijten. Bij uitchecken kwam in het Spaans pas de vraag voor het ontbijt. Dat was 20 minuten te laat.
Bedden zijn redelijk hoog maar wel comfortabel.
