Not a bad thing but as an information: the rooms are located on a hill and you need to walk up some stairs to get there. But Gino will bring your luggage up with the car;)

Nice Room with great view! The common area is also lovely with a swimming pool, bar and a pool table. Breakfast was delicious. Gino was very friendly and helpful with tips for activities and the area.

We didn’t get any hot water and the pool turned our kids hair green. Staff were often grumpy

The amazing views

Stayed in February 2024

only the location was a little difficult because it was on a hill and little outside of the town. but it was just a short walk and it was quite and the nature around us was very nice.

Sol y Mar was amazing. it had a nice clean pool and the manager Gino was wonderful. he was very helpful and showed us nice places and even took us to the beach. The room was big and clean. Our room was cleaned every day. Breakfast was good aswell.

Quite the hill to climb to rooms.

Great staff and close to scuba location.

We booked very last minute but were happily surprised by Sol y Mar. It is a little out of town, and on a steep hill, but it is just worth it. You have a nice breeze in the jungle and the rooms were generally private and clean. The breakfast was lovely and way better than expected. Gino was the best host and made us feel like old friends. If you have babies or toddlers, be aware that there are lots of steps, and railings were not present on many of the porches.

Maybe warm water will be nice, but like it is in jungle we can live without it.

Host Gino was amazing. Stay at this place was like you come to old friend for weekend. Gino not only helps to feel comfortable, but also organize tours. Breakfast was tasty and enough. When you go there you must understand that you will stay in jungle and all service what you will get be as good as it can be in jungle. Also climbing up to hill for some one can be challenging, but for us it was benefit, because we can see amazing view from top. I recommend this place.

It was fantastic- the food is so amazing, the pool is lovely, the staff are fantastic and Gino was an amazing host. There is a tree top view, the only thing you have to be aware of is that is is a steep climb to the rooms so you have to be able to hike up a hill. It is a quick walk into town. We loved it and highly reccomend.

Breakfast was weak. Hotel is on a hill, a lift up in their truck is needed.

Staff went out of their way to be helpful. Restaurant sea bass was better than anything I got in panama city. Nice views.

nothing

Nice room with a big bed with view in the nature. Breakfast was always delicious. Gino is a very kind and helpful person. He helped me for everything i needed. The hotel is not in the center but at walking distance and not too far.

Peaceful place, hamacs, birds and butterflies all around. They helped us find some activities around Coiba island.

Stayed in April 2023

Very steep driveway in need of maintenance. No TV in the room and No wifi inside the room (only available at the restaurant). No glasses or tea/coffee making facilities in the room. A small bar fridge with some ice in it would have been most welcome too.

Location, positive attitude of management and his attention to customer care. Large spacious room.

the hotel is a bit outside of town and you have to make a little hike to get up there. but for that hike you get the best view over Santa Catalina.

brian the owner is the coolest guy ever. whatever request we had, Brian went an extra mile for us. the view, the restaurant, the rooms, the Balkony, simply everything was on point! absolut recommendation ☝🏼 thanks Brian for everything 😊

needs some renovation, new owner from december is working on it, mattress covers would be advisable and better cleaning of the room.

Gino made our stay really good, organised a trip last minute to coiba and was there to help us in every way. good internet. we first had a room with an airconditioning which capacity was too small, they were easy to change our room with a bigger and newer airconditioning, good service! very quiet place. fridge in the room. big room but small bathroom. would advice to go on a trip to coiba island

Very nice place with a good vibe. A good Restaurant and Pool on the top. There is a nice atmosphere in this place. Big and clean rooms. Great/very helpful staff. I liked it very much.

The bathroom was pretty old and had some mildew around the sink which made it feel not very clean - probably time for a remodel. The hotel comes with breakfast included, which is great, but there was only one person serving breakfast and it was quite busy so it was hard to get a coffee refill and service was a bit slow. Putting a self-serve coffee on the bar would help out the staff and guests a lot!

The view from this hotel is fantastic and the grounds are beautiful and lush with a lot of birds and of course a resident rooster. The hotel is located at the entrance to the village and up a very steep hill. We did not have 4-wheel drive so we parked at the bottom and hiked the stairs, which was fine for our family but may not work well for some who may want 4WD to park up higher. The pool was a great place to relax around sunset. The restaurant is also quite good. The room we stayed in was plenty big enough and we appreciated having a couch area and sleeping area. The property just sold and we had most of our interactions with the former owner and the manager. They were both awesome, enthusiastic and conversational. They helped us set up a tour to Isla Coiba, which was spectacular, but I would recommend asking around to find a reputable guide that speaks English and will actually provide more of a “tour.”

Its a little bit challenging for older people because of the hills.

Confortable rooms surrounded by lots of nature and the cabins are secluded enough that you have privacy.
