Relaxing, great value stay.

Welcoming and helpful, good ac and lovely inexpensive breakfast available to order. Very relaxing stay with a pool. Starlink wifi was great and mobile signal was fine in the area. Plenty of parking on-site and away from the road.

Lovely newly built lodge rooms in the rain forest

The owners, Lilibeth and Cristano are very engaged and help you with anything you might need. Breakfast is good and in the evening Lilibeth will cook for you for a small amount. The location is beautiful and ideal to discover Portobelo (a short and cheap taxi ride away) and come back to the quiet of the rainforest, except for the exotic bird sounds.

Enjoyed my stay

Nice getaway in nature. But very cheap to get into portobello via taxi which they connected me to and used to get around. The owner and staff were also very nice and friendly.

Fully recommended

This place is phenomenal. It's a very big hostel with diverse rooms with air and TV. The ambience is outstanding in the middle of the Caribbean rainforest. What more can you ask for .

A decent option for the area

This accommodation is "in the middle of nowhere", but closeby by car to Portobelo and Puerto Lindo where you can take boats to the nearby islands. The scenery in the middle of the forest is beautiful and the pool very nice. They have a nice and friendly dog.

Be prepared for a lot of insects when on terrace, especially mosquitoes.

Spacious room and terrace, nice stuff (we made last minute reservation and there were no problem).

Great place to spend a day or two exploring the Caribbean coast.

The pool was great to cool down after a busy day. It's in an outstanding condition. Optional breakfast was great and there is a possibility to order dinner.

Wonderful hosts who made the stay for us. Can’t recommend it highly enough, they go out of their way to ensure you have an amazing time. Free tour on the first day was excellent. Comfortable with a great location. Go and you won’t be disappointed!

Great host, a birds’ paradise

We visited the region to spend a few days in/nearby the forest. From the lodge, we could observe an incredible diversity of birds. It was a convenient base, there aren’t many accommodation options around here. Lilibeth was always available and helpful with advice, organizing trips, and she was even our guide on one hike. The room had good aircon.

Unique experience beyond anything imaginable.

The experience was amazing. The surroundings, the natural environment, trees, plants, river and exotic animals made it a unique and majestic experience. The staff keep a prudent distance but always at your service diligently. The owner is on top of every detail with a welcoming smile and very passionate about conservation and service. The pool and deck next to it have an exclusive view of the tree tops where you can see all kinds of exotic birds, monkeys, mist in the mornings with a great panamanian cup of coffee and gorgeous sunsets while enjoying a tropical cocktail or freshly made natural local fruit juice. It’s a very peaceful and safe setting, no car noises at all. Nothing but nature sounds.

Nice stay in the nature

We liked our stay in the hotel, Ms. Lilibeth was very helpful and answered all our enquirers rapidly. The room was comfortable and with a direct out to a balcony with views, very conformable facilities. Out in the nature Nice breakfast, and we thanked the possibility of having dinner after a day trip from City of Panama.
