"The staff were absolutely amazing and friendly. They were always willing to help and after the first day remembered little details about what we liked to prepare it for us before we could even ask. There was some structural damages, very minimal but I'll assume thats from the recent earthquake a couple of weeks ago otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!"

10/10 Excellent
"What a wonderful place to find out what life on the Pacific coast of Panama is like and what it can be for you. Brooke and her staff are everything you would want in them. Friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating and supportive. Breakfast is included and is the only meal served daily. Definitely try El Parque restaurant in San Carlos. Delicious and inexpensive. Being a small lodge on the ocean makes it special. FYI: No TV, no fridge, no microwave in my room but an awesome ocean view, a comfortable bed and a large walk-in shower. Totally recommend this resort unless you are seeking the amenities of a corporate resort."
