Gamboa Rainforest Reserve

It is in the entrance of rainforest jungle. At night, you hear many animal sound. The soundproof is really bad. You can hear not only animals but all the tv, shower, toiler, etc that human can make. The dinner buffet is not good. The food at the bar is bad. And the tour cost is crazily expensive.

An amazing experience! The crew was really helpfull and sweet during all the stay, specially Maury at the front desk. We were really surprise about how organized and fun were all the rides, tours and activities. Also the tourist guides were really knowledgable about the animals, architecture and history of the place, our kids felt it was like Disney. Without any doubt it is place a highly recommend for tourist but also for locals. A great trip for family, our kids had a really good times an also loved the family show at night. Beautiful landscapes and views from the Panama Canal, Chagre river and tropical forest.

Perfect spot for a relaxing short getaway. The views are fantastic, and pool is huge. Balcony hammock was a nice touch. I was surprised to see the tram ($50/ person) was not included with a weekend hotel stay… for the price of the stay it seems reasonable to include this.

Beautiful resort! Love the location. The site could use a little TLC.

This hotel impressed us visually with its amazing view of the forest and wilderness; it truly was an astonishing sight. But, the view is nice but not to look at for hours and hours. We arrived at around 11am with intentions of pre checking, so we could skip the long line that would eventually take a large amount of time. But, the receptionist, Jasmine, decided that she would not do that, and instead went on her phone to chat. Very disappointing since we had previously come to the hotel, and the receptionist Karina was kind, helpful, and with a bright smile - the total opposite of Jasmine. So, we had to keep our bags for hours until we could finally check in. Jasmine was still there and rudely and disrespectfully told us to go to the other receptionist, Edgar (who is nice, very respectful, and helpful) as if we were annoying clients or as if she didn’t want to deal with us. While Edgar was helping us check in, Jasmine was speaking very loudly and obnoxiously, which was again, disappointing and a negative point. Apart from that, the Monkey Bar had little food options and one server didn’t understand what we were asking him (he somehow didn’t know understand we wanted brownies). The buffet on the other end, was extremely expensive ($28 per person) but did have many options. One server was rude, but the rest were kind. In conclusion come for the view and sight, not the service.

Beautiful grounds, helpful staff, some services like arranging taxi to airport way more expensive than they should be - like $$20 more than Taxi to get there from airport. Food is good but expensive compared to other good restaurants we ate at while in Panama.
