Guest review
Beautiful hotel in a prime position. Dave, the owner, could not do enough to make our stay a good one and his staff followed his lead. Nothing was ever too much trouble and the hospitality was second to none. Really conveniently situated and in a central position. There is an infinity pool overlooking the beach and you can hear the waves on the beach at night in bed. Paradise.

Guest review
This place really was one of the highlights of our trip through Panama! It was one of those hotels where you could feel people are doing it with their heart and truly care about making their guests an amazing time. The owner greets you personally, he was always there if we needed something, brought us fresh coconuts from the tree and tropical fruit to try. The staff was super friendly and quick. The food was very good, we loved the breakfast and dinners we had. You also have local coffee and tea in the room which is such a nice gesture. We also got lunches to go for our day trips, in a cooler with ice. The view is also great and we saw so many monkeys and birds and iguanas. Definitely recommend!
