Very remote, safe area. Hotel is wide open and never a concern. All rooms face the ocean with decks. Restaurant and lounge are completely open to the beach. The entire hotel is steps from the beach. Very enjoyable place to stay

Licht und Schatten

Direkt am ruhigen Strand gelegenes, mit edlen Hölzern eingerichtetes Hotel mit gutem Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis. Das Restaurant ist schmackhaft, ebenso das Frühstück in Menü-Form. Etwas schleppend lief der Service bezüglich gewünschter Touren. Wir waren an einer vom Hotel angebotenen Schildkröten-Tour (die gesamte Halbinsel ist bekannt als Eiablagestelle für zahlreiche Arten) in Form von nächtlicher Eiablagensichtung und morgendlicher Freilassung der Babyschildkröten am Strand. Na klar gibt es für beides keine Garantie, aber nur durch hartnäckiges und mehrfaches Nachfragen, ob die Tour zustande kommt und wie genau alles vonstatten geht, konnten wir letztlich kurz vor unserer Abreise bei der "Freilassung" der Babyschildkröten dabei sein, das war sehr schön. Es gibt nur drei Doppel-Strandliegen ohne jeglichen Sonnen- oder Regenschutz, auch keine gepolsterten Auflagen. Am Sonntag bevölkern die Familien der Angestellten die Anlage, inklusive der wenigen Liegen. Wer gerne so ins panamaische Familienleben eintauchen möchte wird sich freuen, wir fanden es eher störend.
