Great location right on the beach. Spectacular panorama at a very reasonable price. Nice swimming pool and deck area. Easy access to the beach. Room was modest but clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly and it seemed “family-run.” The on site restaurant had a good free breakfast and other meals available, with a great view of the ocean. The hotel is hard to access because the road going to the hotel requires a very difficult dangerous and illegal turn across a busy highway, or you have to travel a few kilometers beyond the turnoff to find a place you can do a safe U-turn. The road in is bumpy, so just drive slow. Parking is plentiful but you have to drag your suitcase over the unpaved ground to get to the stairs going up to the reception area. No elevator. I’d definitely go back now that I know how to navigate the turn into the access road.

The view of the ocean and the breeze were amazing. The entrance and the grounds were beautiful. The rooms, however are very obsolete. The overall experience was excellent for the price.

The room was not very clean, especially the bathroom. The air conditioning unit has probably never been cleaned, and we both ended up with a cough after spending a night with it on. The menu was very limited. It appeared that the hotel was built in the 1950s and has not been updated since. The beach was very nice though.

Basic affordble Nice economical hotel close to the beach. I was there low season during the week so the restaurant was closed which left few eating options. Romm was basic but sleepable. Probably overal 3+ stats.

The owners and staff here are amazing. They were helpful and friendly and genuine. The pool is nice and there in nice seating around the pool and along the oceanside as well as in the bar/restaurant The rooms could use some TLC and attention, but they have clean beds and AC, and all of the beauty of the bay just outside, so it could be overlooked. Especially with such nice people running the place. It is, IMO, a step above a hostel, A great bargain, not a luxury hotel. We rated it high, because we weren't looking for luxury, we were looking for a real Panamanian stay, and it was an enjoyable couple of nights.

The pictures shows are not like the property is, it needs maintenance, the property do not have back up energy, no administration at night, just the security guy.

Nice place to stay over the weekend and going to the beach. No hot water, even when they confirmed it, so expect cold and luke/cold water. Breakfast is expensive and simple, but you can get by it. Restaurant is good for lunch and diner. Room safety is sketchy, with doors closing poorly, and no internal door block. Only a simple bedroom door knob. There are improvements to the place, but still needs a lot of work.
