The hotel is located in a fantastic location but is very outdated. There are many excursions possible. The breakfast as well as the evening buffet is simple. The food is lukewarm and not hot and therefore disappointing.
A hotel that one has to choose for the location.

It is in the entrance of rainforest jungle. At night, you hear many animal sound. The soundproof is really bad. You can hear not only animals but all the tv, shower, toiler, etc that human can make.
The dinner buffet is not good. The food at the bar is bad.
And the tour cost is crazily expensive.

Este hotel es una maravilla! Las zonas comunes son increíbles, las vistas espectaculares. Desayunamos en la terraza del salón (buffet riquísimo, con muchísima variedad) mientras veíamos toda serie de aves, entre ellos bandadas de tucanes. La piscina es espectacular y realmente se encuentra en un lugar único.
Si te gustan los animales como a nosotros, en cuanto salimos de la habitación, en el mismo pasillo vimos a monos tití y ñeques. Es cierto que las habitaciones son un poco antiguas y bien podrían poner por ejemplo un secador de pelo. Pero la verdad es que finalmente no nos importó porque el lugar en sí es maravilloso.

Breakfast buffet is well stocked and has lots of ‘opciones criollas’.We were not impressed with dining options at either restaurant, beyond breakfast.There’s ample opportunity for improvement for the staff, when it comes to interacting with the guests - both at the check-in counter and the activity and excursion desk.

Front Desk staff Iris (5 star). Money bar area staff mixed some horrible whom don't check on you. No phone in room to call front desk to get more towels (only had 2 for 4 people). The all inclusive food was ok but nothing great. Regarding the outdoor /nature this is always great but hotel is a bit isolated and they don't even have an ATM

9/10 for adventure and views
I am I love with this place. The landscaping and views are phenomenal! Buffet lunch was great! But dinner was lacking. Poolside food was excellent as was the cafe. Hammock on my patio was peaceful. It’s very well kept with some minor issues and a little dated but I strongly recommend!

Pool is nice. However a bit slow the pool bar.
Good food a la carte. Did not try yet buffet.
Noisy A/C in the room, although it does the job. Reserved for 3 but room prepared for 2. Room is clean.
Overall Good.

Upon check-in, we were offered the gamboa package which includes 3 buffet meals per day and 3 tour packages during the stay. After consideration the individual cost of these items- buffet meals, and the 2 tours we wanted to do anyways- we agreed to the cost of the package. However, we were stopped in the lobby and asked if we wanted to continue the package. So rather than the $700 quoted price for the duration of our stay, it only covered 2 nights. This is plain deception and thievery. They sold us on the duration of the stay, and surpised us that it actually was only for our first 2 nights. We left, refusing to patronize the hotel any further, depsite having already had paid for the remainder of our stay. Management refused to rectify the problem their staff caused.
