Panama
Reviews
Excellent and discreet location... Accessible from the city... Not far away... Countryside atmosphere concentrated all in one space, fresh air, vegetation, mountain animals... What more could you ask for? 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊😊😊😊
We had a very pleasant stay at this place, perfect for relaxing and disconnecting. Although there was a small issue with our Expedia reservation, they resolved it very well by offering us a complete apartment on the second floor—spacious, comfortable, with a fully equipped kitchen and private bathroom! The service was excellent, and they were always very friendly. It's a very peaceful place, ideal for couples or families, with access to nature, a river, and nearby waterfalls. Some things to keep in mind: 1. There are no restaurants nearby, so bring everything you need. 2. The road from Valle de Antón to here (approximately 35 minutes) is a dirt road with loose stones and a steep incline, only suitable for 4x4 vehicles. 3. They don't accept credit cards on-site, but they were very helpful, and we were able to resolve the issue without any problems. There is secure and ample parking. They provided bath towels and soap. The tap water is drinkable. Incredible sunrises from the balcony overlooking the mountains! There are several hammocks on the terrace, perfect for reading a book or taking a nap ;) Overall, highly recommended for disconnecting and enjoying nature.
Probably the nicest spot where we stayed in Panama. Top location in some smaller mountains, cascadas nearby, fresh fruits from the garden, very friendly staff, outdoor kitchen, quality furniture, well maintained. Just good.
