The room was not very clean, especially the bathroom. The air conditioning unit has probably never been cleaned, and we both ended up with a cough after spending a night with it on. The menu was very limited. It appeared that the hotel was built in the 1950s and has not been updated since. The beach was very nice though.

Basic affordble
Nice economical hotel close to the beach. I was there low season during the week so the restaurant was closed which left few eating options. Romm was basic but sleepable. Probably overal 3+ stats.

The owners and staff here are amazing. They were helpful and friendly and genuine. The pool is nice and there in nice seating around the pool and along the oceanside as well as in the bar/restaurant The rooms could use some TLC and attention, but they have clean beds and AC, and all of the beauty of the bay just outside, so it could be overlooked. Especially with such nice people running the place. It is, IMO, a step above a hostel, A great bargain, not a luxury hotel. We rated it high, because we weren't looking for luxury, we were looking for a real Panamanian stay, and it was an enjoyable couple of nights.

Very pleasant and relaxing stay
Really enjoyable stay. Would definitely recommend. The hotel was in a beautiful location on the beach and had a very relaxed feel. The pool was lovely and surroundings pleasant too. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant was very nice and we also visited the restaurant next door. There are a couple of surf schools just up the road where the kids had lessons. Yes parts of the hotel could do with some updating/redecoration but this did not detract from a lovely stay.

Nice place to stay over the weekend and going to the beach. No hot water, even when they confirmed it, so expect cold and luke/cold water. Breakfast is expensive and simple, but you can get by it. Restaurant is good for lunch and diner. Room safety is sketchy, with doors closing poorly, and no internal door block. Only a simple bedroom door knob. There are improvements to the place, but still needs a lot of work.

You get what you pay for...
Our first stay in the interior outside of Panama City. Honestly, the price is what attracted us. Proximity to beach and the "younger staff" were good. On the negative side.. no hot water, TV did not work, breakfast was ok but had to show reservation which stated "included", pictures not showing true representation, a bit neglected and run down, "older staff" not as friendly. Spend the extra $10-$20 dollars next time, it's worth it.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The property is on the beach with high surf. Not suited for families unless you use the pool. The room was clean but of sub standard for the price charged. Breakfast was included but was served cold. If the rate was 35.00 a night I would not complain, but given the other choices in the same price range it was not a good choice on my part. If more effort was spend on landscaping, general cleaning and finishing a number of their add on facilities and some good paint the property would certainly be worth the rate charged. People are friendly and want to help but i can see that their financial situation presents limitations to bring the property to its elevated potential. It is not easy to say this as I feel their pain, but sometimes the naked truth can help to speed up the process to make the change or find solutions.

Plus jamais ça !
Sale, accueil mauvais, aucun service car basse saison (autant fermé alors !), wifi qui fonctionne sur un rayon de 2m. On sent l’hôtel laissé à l’abandon alors que ça pourrait être une pépite. J’allais oublier la piscine glissante et dangereuse (les abords). Franchement à fuir

Sería recomendable tener barandas en un acceso hacia piscina desde el bar y también bajando las escaleras hacia la playa. Arreglar esos escalones para que estén parejos y no irregulares.
