The staff was fantastic as was the view. We had the place to ourselves and it is up on the mountain. You have a panorama of the ocean and the valleys - it is outstanding. The price is great and the vibe is too. The pool desperately needs chlorine tho. Fortunately you can be at Playa Los Panama in 25 mins. The one 15 mins away is super tough to get on and the local gringos suck.

The view was spectacular, but the road to the property was not great. Because it was on top of a hill, it was very windy which made for a lot of noise when we were trying to sleep. Staff was very friendly and helpful, but their English was very limited.

Unexpected Pleasure

Stayed two nights so we could see the El Cano Archaeological site (about 90 minutes away) one day and the El Valle market (about a hour away) the next morning. We loved our time there. The owners are super nice and accommodating. The views of the Pacific and adjacent mountains are awesome. The free breakfast blew us away. Eggs, fruit and other typical Panamanian items. This place is worth seeing and staying.

This was the start of a 15-day trip to Panama. We had ground transportation to where we rented our car in Coronado, so the Eclipse was a short drive on an already long and busy day of travel. We were warmly greeted and escorted to our room. We quickly overcame the language barrier, and the staff was very accommodating. It is a little way off the Panamerican highway so having food service was great. The food was very good every meal for the two days we stayed. We were well rested to start are travels across Panama. Would not hesitate to stay again.
