The place was nice and quiet and peaceful. No restaurant, except for breakfast. No bar, only beer. The young lady charged us an extra $15.00 because we needed a bottom floor room, instead of walking up a flight of stairs.

Great place to relax. Close to shopping and the city, but in a quiet neighborhood. Toucans in the trees in the area.

Basic, decent clean room with working shower and A/C. The property appears more rundown than photos would suggest but there is a pool that appears to be in good working order. Breakfast was convenient and cheap. Quiet and safe location. We prefer to stay walkable to Casco Viejo so it seemed far to us but the price was good if you don’t mind Uber or you have a car. Friendly and accommodating staff.

Convenient to the airport. Becoming way overpriced, so will be looking for alternate places to stay.

Love the quiet at night and the "nature" sounds in the morning from birds.

Staff was very kind . I hate leaving bad reviews but there were ants in my room from the day I arrived intil I left . I didn’t complain because they were harmless sugar ants but they were everywhere . Not sure if it was because of previous guest

I had a long layover and booked this hotel. unfortunatly it was close to the wrong airport which I didnt realize until too late. I went anyway. Lovely clean quiet spot. I missed breakfast but they made it for me. Helped me get a far cheaper ride back to PTY. Great location if you have a car.

When we arrived there were no available rooms and they said they didn’t have a reservation for us even though I showed them the reservation confirmation. They said this happened twice before and they blamed hotels.com.
