    The gardens need better plants, it was all the same impatients

    It really surprised me how well kept is the property and the rooms, considering the age of the hotel. The rooms are big and ver well ventilated. Breakfast was included: the hojaldres were delicious! The staff was always very pleasant

    The rooms could be a bit more modern but it adds to the charming cabin appeal of the entire hotel.

    The staff was incredible, the food was amazing and the location was just lovely. A great stay in Tierras Altas.

    The jacuzzi was dirty, it seems there was a fungi growing in all over, like it wasn’t been cleaned days ago…

    The hot water to the room's bathroom shower was very slow. Our room faced the highway going to Cerro Punta and there were trucks transporting produce from Cerro Punta early in the morning. The trucks are loud, so expect some highway noise. The hotel is probably less than 100 meters from the highway. The pool and spa area could use some refurbishment. The hot tub needs to be tiled. The shower in the dressing area of the pool had good hot water..... you just have to wait 3 minutes or so for it to get up the hill.

    The hotel was great. It was a great value for the price paid. The breakfast was fantastic. I had scrambled eggs, ham, French toast, coffee and orange juice. It was all excellent and served by order by a nice waitress. The room was very clean with nice hardwood floors. The bed was comfortable and smelled fresh. Our room had a beautiful view from the nice little sitting balcony. The hotel is 46 years old. It has character and has been well cared for. All the staff were extremely nice and helpful.

    attention in restaurant (except breakfast) is bad, you have actually to look for staff to order and to pay. There are definitely better dining options in the area. And the use the spa area for groups of school kids, what does not fit together really.

    Nice rooms, Spa with sauna, breakfast very good

    Our room was lovely, but we arrived after a hard rain and there was a puddle of water from a ceiling leak in the living room. Thank goodness the water pooled beside the couch and not on it. We were offered another room, but we refused as we loved the room and didnt see any other leaks. There were some insects in the bathroom around tap, but that is normal in the tropics, so not a problem. There was only one coffee pod in the room for 2 people, and the demitasse cups are really too small for non-espresso style coffee. I made one coffee in a Styrofoam cup and poured into tiny cups. Also the coffee quality was not that good. Panama has many wonderful coffees, so perhaps show Panama's great qualities off a bit in each room's coffee area. Ensure pods/coffee are fresh or perhaps provide a small pour-over unit or even small French press to steep supplied coffee to desired strength. The dining area had the annoying habit of playing multiple music streams at the same time, a noisy, irritating radio or 2 video channels and a lovely light jazz, samba music stream. Please choose one sound in dining area, preferably the least disruptive so customers can enjoy each other and their meal. Our waitress was very kind to turn down videos at the bar when we asked, but then the jazz music stream kept cutting out, so if wifi is spotty, perhaps just play downloaded music from flash drive, or old fashioned CD, on speaker system so pleasant atmosphere can be consistent. The pool building on the upper garden level is amazing, but it is just not clean enough. There were large and small bugs in the lukewarm jacuzzi, so I couldn't relax. I would have cleaned water if there was a net close by. The pool area is wonderfully designed but again, the pool was just not clean enough and a bit too warm, but temperature preference is very individual, so not a big deal. This property could be spectacular with a tiny bit more attention.

    Such a beautiful property and a wonderful, spacious room with high ceilings, lots of storage and gorgeous wood floor and trim. The bed was very comfortable, and the staff members were very kind and patient as we did not speak Spanish, except for a couple of words. The landscaping and views outside were wonderful. Walking around is a joy. I saw a Coati in the upper level garden coming out of the bamboo Grove. He was large and handsome, but ran away, of course, after seeing me.

    The breakfast was awesome. Traditional Panamanian cuisine starting off with tropical fruit, and mountain grown coffee. Followed by yuca, tortillas, eggs to your liking and sausage or ham. The servers were very attentive to our needs.

    There were small spots in different areas that were not completely clean. Like dust. Not big deal but could make a difference for some clients There used to be a ping pong table before. Maybe they change it to another place.

    The relaxing vibe without the noise of the city. I have stayed in this hotel many times in the last 35 years.

    The pool area could be improved with some music with hidden speakers. The breakfast at the restaurant is so basic and options are very limited.

    It was peaceful and very relaxing. The garden was clean and organized. The lady at the garden's entrance was so kind when giving ideas about where to go and what to visit.
