Gamboa Rainforest Resort Reviews

Wonderful rainforest trek. Plenty of birds, the hummingbird center was unbelievable.

Beautiful area but already a bit used. Unforgettable excursions! Service generally slow, eat average

Very nice but quite careless, it needs maintenance.

Unique and beautiful, this hotel does not look like any other ... My family and I love it!

Nice facility and location. Staff disinterested in you and slow service repeatedly. English only speakers will not find many English speaking staff.

It has everything, the guides know a lot about the place, the cable car is super entertaining, the restaurant very rich and with good prices

$ 14 for 2 coffees and a juice water and ice standing at the bar counter ... Shameful that sucks .... Never again !!!

It is worth seeing the sloths, frogs and flowers, only passable. Highly recommended the teleferico trip through the jungle, it is also worth the butterflies.

I was very delayed in the service and coordination of a planned event with time ...

Did not stay at the resort but I did do the monkey island boat tour. It was a great experience. Make sure to book it early in the day when the animals are active.

The views from the hotel towards the pool and the cable car to go up to the viewpoint are obligatory places in Gamboa

Excellent resort in the middle of the Panamanian jungle. Next to the Chagres River and near the Panama Canal. It can improve certain areas that require a little attention, such as green areas and rooms. There are very good free activities. Other activities too, at a good price. The climate is exquisite and the attention, what awaits. Improve a little, it costs nothing. Thanks for the experience

Excellent exhibition of rescued peresozos and the butterfly garden. I loved

I loved it, it has many activities, very nice facilities and the restaurant is very good.

An amazing experience. Plenty of things to do here.

Spectacular hotel surrounded by nature ... comfortable and spacious rooms ... Very good attention. Ideal to relax and descobextatse of the world.

The scenery is beautiful and the staff are very welcoming and helpful. The rooms are clean and very presentable. The best part of this hotel is the rainforest walk around 9am every morning. There are other activities but I don't trust the Zipline activities in any country. The pool is clean and good to take a dip but they have limited hours of 8-6pm daily. There are more activities downstairs from the main lobby. The food is absolutely delicious.

Good place, close to the city to disconnect for a while

A good place to rest, your activity plan is quiet. There are many areas under repair or closed. He needs to love the hotel because it is so beautiful.

Loved, loved, loved this resort! Awesome rooms, views, pool, staff, food and many, many beautiful birds!! We even saw a sloth on the grounds the morning we were leaving. I highly recommend this resort!!!

Excellent place for excursions, lots of nature ....

It lacks a little maintenance but it is still a good place

We were just enjoying the view and the bar and both are very good !!!

Wonderful place, quiet, cute, good service .. special to rest, excellent food and facilities

Excellent attention. Recommended Tours from the hotel. Although it is not in excellent condition, it is worth visiting.

Amazing resort! We opted to do all inclusive and, we really got our money's worth. We arrived much too early to check in. Bad planning on my part. But, Isaac, at the front desk, took very good care of us. He arranged for our bags to be stored and gave us snack passes that we used at the Monkey Bar restaurant. The ceviche was delicious and the chicken wing "snack " was a meal in itself! Isaac also helped us to book a tour while we waited for our rooms. We did the aerial tram, sloth sanctuary, butterfly house, orchid greenhouse, and frog sanctuary. We all loved it! The guides and specialists are accommodating and knowledgeable. After our tours, we came back to the main hotel and went to our rooms. Traveling with the parents so, 2 rooms. Absolutely breathtaking with a view of the Chagres River. Each of the rooms had a spiral staircase leading to a 2nd level with 2 twin beds. The main floor had a comfy king bed with big, soft and fluffy pillows. Both rooms also included a balcony with a hammock.
The adventure continues today with a boat tour of the Chagres River and ziplining! Our little one doesn't want to go ziplining so, she'll stay back with the grandparents and hang out in the beautiful pool. We'll join her later and cozy up to the pool bar .
I know that resorts can be a bit one note. Same food, same amenities. But Gamboa Rainforest Resort is truly a one of a kind experience!

Hotel and food great. Tram ride, not much, especially for the price.

A great place. The rooms lack nothing. There is a safe, refrigerator, coffee maker, iron. A great hammock on the terrace. Breakfast ok ...

100% recommended for those who want a natural and quiet environment

Excellent attention. Room in good condition. You just have to improve the buffet dinner.

Went for breakfast, it was OK. The view of the lake and the rainforest is amazing.

Quiet atmosphere. Good attention. Good option for a family or couple outing

Very nice hotel in the middle of the rainforest and on the banks of the Panama Canal and excellent attention!

An excellent resort, to forget the city and get reacquainted with nature. Your attention is very dedicated. It has parking. Swimming pools. Restaurants. Spa. Outdoor activities. Souvenir shop Highly recommended

Very lovely setting. Staff was helpful and efficient. Hotel could use a facelift but all was clean and working. Enjoyed our visit.

It is one of my favorite hotels because of the amount of different activities offered to make everything very ecological, the surroundings and grounds of the hotel are beautiful and giant, lots of fauna and flora around. It's cute! The beds in the rooms are not very good and the TVs are old but it is the least of them with so much activity and beauty around.

Very good service within the hotel. The spacious, clean and comfortable rooms.
The tour to know the mariposuario; The lazy monkeys; The frog and the orchids were fantastic.

Such a shame - this could be a very nice place. But it looks like nobody really cares about maintaining this hotel. The rooms really need a makeover and all the furniture and wall paintings as well. Considering this, the price is pretty high and the food is only mediocre - except for the breakfast which is really good. Maybe the Resort doesnt feel the need to improve since there is not really another option in Gamboa. Too bad - because Gamboa is really a great place for nature lovers.

Could use some tiddy up. Looks like its going out of business.

We are a young couple, aged 25 and 28 years. The hotel looks great and makes a good impression. The breakfast is not bad and the selection is quite large. However, the staff is neither very friendly nor helpful. English speaks here as well as none. Which makes the communication very difficult. You also make us feel unwanted.

Excellent to disconnect from the entire city, social networks and rediscover that peace that steals the capital

Beautiful report surrounded by greenery overlooking the river

The hotel lacks maintenance and cleaning in the windows.

Nice place, good food and if you like nature a good place to be

Cozy hotel in the middle of the Panamanian rainforest at the Panama Canal, it is safe to stay here, excellent attention, great views and weather, it has different activities and attraction you can sign up every day some with food included, it's great and is a very good place for a weekend getaway

Nice hideaway if you are looking for some relaxed days without major tourism

Excellent hotel, to get away from the city, nature in maximum expression in front of the Chagres River

The resort is wonderful, getting a bit old, but the rooms are blessed with an unbeatable view of the canal. If you get there, you should definitely take the cable car ride into the jungle, costs about $ 50, but will remain unforgettable.
What parseled us a little was the tw. also very unfriendly restaurant service, at the beginning a different price was mentioned for the buffet than later debited. The buffet was in no way worth it, therefore not a full number of points.

This resort is exactly what is described. In the off season, only one of the three restaurants is open, but the food served is of excellent quality. The tours are nice albeit a bit pricey. The views from the rooms are amazing. The rooms themselves are a slightly out dated. Lots of wicker, if that's your thing. Rooms tend to have a slight mildew odor, but that's to be expected due to their location within the deep jungle. Television offers only 1-2 channels in english, and has a lot of static. If you are staying in Gamboa for the birding and wildlife, it's great. The grounds host a wide diversity of flora and fauna and can keep an active birder busy for days. Orchid garden and butterfly room are awesome.

Excellent resting place, they have nice facilities, the food is quite good and the extra activities offered in the hotel are entertaining and allow to know more about the Panamanian nature

The hotel is in a great location, I stayed here for one night. It offers various smaller excursions such as the
gamboa aerial tram where I really liked the visit to the sloth, but otherwise I have to say that I didn't like the food and the interior of the hotel that much.
If you would invest in the hotel, it could be great.

Spectacular, highly recommended to take the boat tour to see the rainforest

Beautifully landscaped resort, with beautiful views and many destinations in the area.

Luxurious resort in the middle of the rainforest of the Soberania forest park on the shores of the Panama Canal.

Excellent place to rest, learn, detoxify, eat, with friends or family or even just

This hotel has a gorgeous view of the surrounding rainforest and many activities available.

Great place to be close to nature and excellent customer service, but the rooms need a little more maintenance when it comes to ac units and it needs more ice machines. The food was ok.

It is a different hotel full of natural environment but very nice
