Staff went out of their way to please. This is a quintesential small Panamanian hotel. Not perfect in terms of condition. Older hotel with flaws as far as condition but staff makes up for that 10 times over. Personal service and food and drink very good and priced well. Quiet area with pool and hilltop view of Pacific. If you want an updated hotel stay in Panama City. If not go to Hotel Eclipse and get one on one service and comfort at a reasonable price and deal with a superbe staff!

This hotel has many features to recommend it: a stunning pool, terrific service (Hiciela and Axel in particular at the front desk and restaurant), a tranquil setting, and beautiful touches in the building itself. It's an ideal place to get away. One note: it's a good hour from Valle de Anton although the mileage makes it seem closer.

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.
