“Beautiful common outdoor facilities, room was fine”

This has been our favourite place for our backpacking trip in Panama. We loved tiny little Santa Fe and La Quia. The hosts are lovely and very attentive. The shared outdoor areas (gardens, covered seating areas and restaurant) are beautiful and expand your options for places to hang out and relax. You can be social if you want to or enjoy your privacy. Cheap laundry on site and breakfast included are nice bonuses. The room itself was perfectly fine for the budget traveler but would disappoint someone used to more high end comforts.

Breakfast was supper. The gym was good. Heated yakuzi was a surprize.

“Very enjoyable stay in a beautiful location with very helpful and friendly staff.”

Beautiful garden, very helpful staff and good facilities eg restaurant in the grounds, yoga area, communal sitting area, facility to wash muddy boots and very helpful advice about independent hiking paths as well as guided tours.

“Great location, great people”

Location,friendly staff and owners

“Great!”

Very nice staff, great location, lovely surroundings and dog. Facilities are kept very clean and functional.

the accommodation has a great location, you can walk to the village in a few minutes where there are supermarkets and restaurants and you can start many hikes from there. The property's own restaurant is closed on Wednesdays. We had a simple two-bed room in the community area and slept excellently. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The house dog is very sweet. There are hammocks in the community area where you can relax and watch the hummingbirds in the garden. There is the possibility to use the washing machine. We felt very comfortable and recommend this accommodation.

“Wonderful place in the jungle”

We had a wonderful stay. The place is amazing, with a stunning view from the garden and the terrace. The staff is super friendly, pets included! The owner helped us finding a horse tour on the day we arrived and gave us lots of information about trails in the area. We wish we could have stayed longer!

“perfect place to relax”

The accommodation is well maintained and has a beautiful outdoor area. The staff was very helpful and super friendly and the breakfast was delicious.

Super cool place, nice and chilled, really friendly staff and great breakfast included

“Lovely location accommodation friendly helpful staff would definitely stay again”

Excellent location good accommodation beautiful gardens and good food/ breakfast at on site accommodation . Though there was not kitchen/ fridge on arrival within minutes the male member of staff provided a small fridge . That’s customer care thank you

“A pleasant situation but in no way 'eco' except, perhaps, economically successfull.”

The property itself was attractive, very pleasant shared balcony but hardly eco. We had hoped for birds in the garden but saw none.

“No hot water, hard beds, roosters at all hours, rude restaurant staff.”

The grounds were beautiful.

it’s a quiet place with a nice garden where you can relax after hiking. they have warm showers and you can do your laundry for 2,5$. coffee in the morning is for free.

Nice garden, most of the area was newly renovated, friendly employees

“Uncomfortable bed and dirty, but nice outside area.”

It’s in a nice, green area with lots of nature.

“A relaxing paradise to stay.”

A relaxing paradise to stay. First of all, Santa Fé is gorgeus, a mountain town very beautiful. As a town, Santa Fé, was the highlight of my trip and with such beautiful trekkings all round full of waterfalls. La Qhia is a very charming place with a  beautiful and relaxing garden, a lot of common areas with terraces where you could enjoy the place seating or laying in one hamaca and even a open air area to practice yoga or meditate. A bit of paradise. The bungalow was spotless, very clean and with a good area, and your own seating place outside. Has an open air restaurant with good food (good price) and good service and if you want they have also cocktails. :)  Everyone was nice, the employee (sorry don't know the name) of the restaurant was very nice and kind, always smiling. All the team was there to be helpful, I fell and all were very helpful to give me what I need. Reynaldo, the manager of Qhia is there for you and explain everything what you could need. With all the patient and being a sweet person. He did a fantastic job creating a page on Qhia site with all information that you need for trekking and other useful information of Santa Fé (trekkings, tours, restaurants, public transports, etc). Everything is there. Even each trekking is described in every little detail. I always thought that if I had a place to receive people I would do that. But is the first time that I saw a hotel/eco resort, doing this. What a good, great job receiving people. Of course, I cant forget, Ragnar, the dog (a gorgeus dog with a sweet soul and gorgeus) and the sleepy cat that loves cuddling. Last, did the night tour to see night wildlife and recommend the experience. Is always magical feeling nature at night. Really recommend to stay here. Would love to come back

Accommodation near nature. Everything is close. perfect restaurant for dinner.

“Relaxing mountain atmosphere”

Amazing view from the balcony, nice atmosphere and great onsite cafe. Perfect basecamp for mountain hikes.

“Comfortable, peaceful, delicious, friendly, beautiful.”

The staff were friendly and bilingual. The property's interior design was to a very high finish throughout. An effort was made for it to be eco friendly. The menu was limited but each plate was delicious and used produce from the lodge's garden. I highly recommend this property.
