Gamboa Rainforest Resort

Very nice, friendly, well-staffed and maintained resort. The rooms were large and clean and we had a nice balcony where we often sat and relaxed. They have extensive grounds which include a huge pool with lots of sitting options and a small bar area and walking paths. We ate dinner one night at their restaurant and had a shrimp and fish soup which was very good. We also had breakfast there every morning which had lots of entrée options including the basics such as eggs and fruit. Our favorite place for dinner was the smallish grill on the main floor called the Monkey Bar. They have an excellent cheeseburger. We also got muffins and other items here as well. I asked for a couple non-alcohol beers to take back to our room and they served them to me stuffed into a bucket of ice with a couple lime wedges! I appreciated this extra effort. They have an excursions deck where I signed up for a four hour bird walk on the famous “pipeline road” and my wife signed up for a boat tour of the lake and a ride on their tree top skyliner. They were all well run and informative. I was really interested in finding a Trogan and my guide competently found one and focused his scope on it for me to have a closer look. One afternoon I took a walk to the bottom of the hill that the resort sits on and walked on a jungle path and later looked for birds on a wide rarely used road.

Beautiful location. Great to get an uber from airport to there. The hotel is amazing. Wildlife everywhere. Capuchin monkeys and toucans outside our room. Nighttime tour is a must.

Very large spacious room and it came with a dehumidifier—something every hotel in Panama should have. There were not many plugs and the ones on the radio didn’t work well, In fact, the clock radio stopped working. Great views and nice make up mirror. Big bath but the towels are hard to get to from the shower.

Lovely stay. Helpful and polite staff. The room is spacious and so is the bathroom. The hammock outside in the balcony is the best! The bed and pillows are really comfortable! For stay and meals included is a great value.

We did the all inclusive "meet gamboa" package and it was an amazing stress free relaxing experience! Idalmy at the athe restaurant was so helpful and friendly! Great rooms, great food, great experiences! My son (10 years old) loved seeing the wild toucans every morning too!
