This hotel has many features to recommend it: a stunning pool, terrific service (Hiciela and Axel in particular at the front desk and restaurant), a tranquil setting, and beautiful touches in the building itself. It's an ideal place to get away. One note: it's a good hour from Valle de Anton although the mileage makes it seem closer.

The place was clean and the staff was excellent. …….however the overall building and property is in need or renovation. Lots of potential as the views are amazing and the area is conveniently located close to town.

Owner was very accommodating and nice. We arrived a bit later so the kitchen was closed but the host was still willing to make us sandwiches. Beautiful pool with outstanding views. And modern controllable in room AC. Highly recommend!

Staff went out of their way to please. This is a quintesential small Panamanian hotel. Not perfect in terms of condition. Older hotel with flaws as far as condition but staff makes up for that 10 times over. Personal service and food and drink very good and priced well. Quiet area with pool and hilltop view of Pacific. If you want an updated hotel stay in Panama City. If not go to Hotel Eclipse and get one on one service and comfort at a reasonable price and deal with a superbe staff!

Unexpected Pleasure

Stayed two nights so we could see the El Cano Archaeological site (about 90 minutes away) one day and the El Valle market (about a hour away) the next morning. We loved our time there. The owners are super nice and accommodating. The views of the Pacific and adjacent mountains are awesome. The free breakfast blew us away. Eggs, fruit and other typical Panamanian items. This place is worth seeing and staying.

Enjoyed our stay in a clean facility with AC only in rooms. Be cautious of wet floors due to hallway AC units. Tranquil country setting, friendly staff, though communication can be challenging. Ideal for a romantic getaway overlooking a small valley. Good and reasonably priced food.

The view was spectacular, but the road to the property was not great. Because it was on top of a hill, it was very windy which made for a lot of noise when we were trying to sleep. Staff was very friendly and helpful, but their English was very limited.
Verified review

The pool and view are awesome. Sadly, this hotel clearly has slid into disrepair. There were at least 30 mosaic tiles loose on the shower floor--one cut my foot. The walls looked like a 12 year old did the painting--so much paint on the beautiful tiles, ceiling, door trim. Doing a nice job on the paint would have cost almost nothing, so sad! Hundreds of tiny ants crawling around the porch slider. Electricity out both nights. Second night from midnight to after 10 am--so no ac, running water, and spoiled our fridge food.

The views are amazing

The hotel overall is a little worn around the edges but the views more than make up for the maintenance that need to be done.
