Fantastic location in the jungle with incredible views of Lake Gatun from the room balcony. The night safari was really fun for the kids. We enjoyed our stay.

This was my second time staying here. I really love this place! The views are fantastic. I shot this bird from my balcony! There's great birding along the property's trails and in surrounding areas such as Las Chungas, just down the road. And of course, Pipeline Rd., one of the best birding locations in the world, is only 5 minutes away. The large room was very clean and attended to, and most comfortable.

Food is amazing, I especially loved the gluten and lactose free options! Chef's and staff there are world class.
The views are breathtaking! The grounds are so nicely taken care of and such an amazing theme and variety of tropical plants!
A few cautions that may be helpful to some travelers who have limited mobility. There's a lot of stairs or ramps to get down to the pool area.
I don't believe there's traditional AC, the rooms seem to have a built in swamp cooler and a separate floor dehumidifier. There's no surprise that it's a humid climate, but I was still a little taken back at just how much water the dehumidifier pulled out of the air. Probably 3-4 gallons per day. The issue is the by product of a dehumidifier running is it produces heat which in turn negates some of the cooling ability of the swamp cooler. On average the room would be in the 19-21 Celsius range. So if you're used to colder conditions etc, you may not be as comfortable.
But, the contrast from outside to inside of the room makes a big difference and you are able to cool down.
In my opinion the resort should upgrade to mini-split AC units for each room. And also vent the hot air output of the de-humidifiers outside.
Overall a lifetime experience there and I wouldn't let the AC stop someone from going, just don't expect western hotel or home like AC.

The whole atmosphere and jungle setting
Was incredible. It’s like stepping back in time like Jurassic park. The wild life amazing and incredible views. The only downside about the whole stay was in room 415 and the air-conditioner was not working Properly so I had very little Sleep. They staff looked at the problem but no resolución. This was the only
Reason I could not Rate the resort higher.

Très bel hôtel, luxueux... donc un peu cher, mais à faire une fois.... et y demeurer 2 jours afin de profiter de toutes les activités, dont certaines sont incluses (gratuites).
Raúl le guide est efficace et très gentil.
Le service au buffet est très bien. Le repas du soir est très bon, plusieurs choix. Le petit déjeuner est moins cher lorsque payé en même temps que la réservation sur Hotels.com... bon choix et un cuisinier fait les omelettes sur place au goût de chacun.
Rien à redire sur la chambre très spacieuse et très propre, avec un grand balcon. Nous avions la vue sur la rivière.... vraiment belle !!

We loved our time. I think most of that is due to the location but the resort was also great. The night safari was my childrens favorite part of our trip. The excursions are a little overpriced and the facility is a little run down but it worked really well for our family.

The little restaurant opposite the buffet is really nice, the staff is wonderful! The food is better than the buffet, but a very limited menu, I would suggest a choice of the day to add diversity.
No other good restaurants in the neighborhood of the hotel.
