PanamaThe Service was Excelent. Great food. Great ambiance. Perfect for a Romantic Get Away
PanamaThe staff was on top of all details…. room was fixed and curtains set for the night while we were having dinner. Room was fitted to accommodate our 2-year-old son despite the short notice. Boat transportation was safe and exclusive. Dinner was served quickly and it was delicious. Breakfast was also good just keep in mind that quality is above quantity. The room is all you can expect plus a very good decoration and comfort. Room was spacious and crystal clean upon arrival. I must mention the staff again…. They made the difference during our stay.
PanamaThe artwork is what really enhances the rooms. The casitas are very private, quiet and comfortable. The nano with nice sound system is a great touch. Lounge and restaurant are welcoming and the sofas comfortable and again the artwork is what creates a great atmosphere.
United States of AmericaThe staff and attention was great. The room was as good as advertised and better. The food was delicious.
PanamaThis is an absolutely stunning retreat - relaxed luxury and I would definitely go again. However two complaints that aren't serious but hotel should look at:- -I got bitten by bed bugs -We took the river cruise without checking the price (which is partly our fault) but they charged us $150 for an hour trip which felt like a bit of a rip off. This is an expensive hotel but feels really worth it apart from this which felt a bit off.
United Kingdomit delivers everything that it intends and the food is amazing. staff is friendly and helpful. it has luxury without being snobbish. worth trying for a little while.
