Beautiful property in the woods. The hotel restaurant serves wonderful foods. Lots of nature and fresh air. The room was good and had hot water for shower. Internet WiFi was spotty at best but we did have good mobile reception. Good location.
It's an escape for one night. The house is dark, for its size there was no sufficient lights. Despite a space in a kitchen there was a refridgerator only, no coffee maker, no wash sink. A good restaurant is on the site. Beautiful nature and kids playground to spend a half day there.
Beautiful Hotel, next to a river and nice garden. Weather is perfect, at around 60-75 degrees farenheit. It can get a bit chillier at night so bring a light coat.
Staff is limited.
They have 1 restaurant and 1 coffee shop which was closed.
They don’t offer room service.
Price was very decent. I would stay again.
The person working the breakfast was extremely RUDE and unfriendly. Every person related to the restaurant obviously did not like their JOB

I chose this hotel because on Expedia it was indicated that there is a Spa, pool and that you can get massages. In the end there was no such option on the property, so that was very disappointing.
We did not get free coffee with our breakfast, although it should have been included.
Overall the stay was okay.
The grounds were nice walkways around the various rooms, and a fish pond. The hotel is on a nice mountain stream. The room was aged a bit, but comfortable except there was no hot water. This is not always needed in Panama, but in the mountains it is. The "A" restaurant was fine, but the grill was ordinary bar food quality. There is nothing in town (which is only a few houses). This is a stopping off point for things in the area.

Regular WiFi signal.
Insecure room.
No hairdryer.
No refrigerator.
No telephone at room.
Bad distribution of the bathroom.
Bad ventillation of the room.
Good food.
Good service in the restaurant.
We went for 3 days to the Junior Suite 1.
First day there was a wedding. Noise all night long
When we got there, the TV did not work.
Wifi slow and sometimes it went down.
Antes on the sink, the staff told me that "usually happens".
No mosquito screen. You need to sleep with windows opens, which usually slam at night.
You can hear your neighbor through the walls.
Mattresses are really hard.
The keys did not work. Staff told me to "insert the key slightly". That was their solution, did not work.
I don't know what happened to Casa Grande Bambito. Maybe it's the staff? But I felt the attention was the minimum. Sadly, won't be returning.

Very disappointed with this hotel. We were 5 adults and 2 little girls so I ordered the 9 people room. We arrived afternoon, the room was freezing and it has no heater. It was actually colder inside the room than outside. There was no hot water in the shower, I went twice to the front desk to tell them about it and only at the second time they sent someone. He said he fixed it and that we should wait 15 minutes and try again but guess what- it didn’t help. In addition to that the roof was leaking so we had water drops all over the main dining area. We asked to talk to the manager of the property but were told that he’s not coming and we can’t speak to him and that any compensation is not even considered. Very poor customer service regarding handling complaints. Needless to say that we won’t be staying in this hotel ever again.
P.S, in the hotel’s home page in Expedia it’s mentioned that they speak both English and Spanish. None of the staff spoke English.
Es muy lindo el hotel, sus alrededores y la comida del restaurante muy rica, pero las habitaciones necesitan un poco más de mantenimiento.
El check in bastante lento (siento que es un tema del sistema que manejan).
