"The owners, Rick and Loan, could not be nicer. They had advice for us on what to see and do during our time in Panama which proved very helpful. The staff, particularly Juan, David and Ricardo, were excellent - attentive and friendly.
We rented a car from the airport in Panama City and drove ourselves to other side of the country. While not many miles, it will take you over two hours. I would suggest getting full insurance if you get a rental car since the roads on the Caribbean side of the country can be a bit "interesting" with large, unexpected potholes. However, upon arrival to the resort's secured parking area, their boat was waiting for us to take us to Isle Grande. What a way to arrive - we felt so special!
I was initially concerned about being at a remote resort and having to eat only what was available. Boy, was I wrong! The food was excellent - some of the best we encountered during our three-week holiday throughout Peru and Panama.
The room was quite nice and the view of the Caribbean Sea awesome. While we are not "water sports" people, the resort offered many options for those who do like being in the sea. We were content with the pool.
An unique stay. I wish the resort were more convenient - we would definitely return - but I guess its location off the beaten path makes it the attractive place it is."
"Here's a natural, conversational review in English:
We had a wonderful stay here. The hotel is beautiful, with an amazing pool overlooking both the ocean and the rainforest. Everything was very clean, and the beds were extremely comfortable.
The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The owner even helped arrange transportation for us to a nearby island beach, which we really appreciated.
The water was crystal clear and perfect for swimming. The food was also excellent. We have some dietary restrictions, but there were still plenty of delicious options for us. The fried fish was outstanding, the chicken was delicious, and the breakfast was one of the highlights of our stay.
We stayed in a smaller room, but it was very comfortable. There was a king-size bed for us, and our adult children each had their own separate bed.
I highly recommend this place. Honestly, it’s the kind of destination where you can completely relax and never feel the need to leave the property. It was a true 100% vacation experience."
"Was alone most of the time, only person running the restaurant was around. Good food. Not really good beach, hard rocks underfoot in water. Town doesn’t have much to say for itself. But if you want tropical quiet then this is the place."
