We enjoyed our stay there, it was a very quiet and chill place with a pool, a kitchen, etc.

The best place to stay in Santa Fe! The rooms all have cable TV, great Wi-Fi, refrigerator, and coffee maker. Ricardo and his son Ricardo Jr. (they speak English) are wonderful owners/hosts and offer awesome tours of the mountain trails, waterfalls, river rafting and more! Close to everything in Santa Fe. Don't bother looking at other hotels...this is the place! Great rates too😄

The road getting there is a mix of bumpy washboard gravel alternating with many many potholes on the paved stretches. The road is being repaired. It'll be great when it's done. I was told 6mo, but I suspect it'll be more like 12mo. It took about 90 minutes to drive the last 20 miles. Santa Fe will benefit from this new road with more people willing to make the drive.

This property is so beautiful with plants everywhere. Several casitas surround the pool. Guests are welcome to use the well equipped common kitchen/dining area. Very peaceful. Ricardo is a gracious and friendly host. I really enjoyed the hike/waterfall tour he took me on. This excursion included a visit to the home of an indigenous family who served us lunch after Miguel, the man of the house, led our hike. They had hand carved bowls and wooden animals, hats, and beaded bracelets for sale. I spied 2 pieces of artwork done by their talented son. I love collecting local art on my travels. I asked and was allowed to purchase them and later found out they weren't part of the sale. The hike was a good workout with several beautiful waterfalls.... even in the dry season. Ricardo recommended 2 restaurants that really lived up to his recommendation. All in all, Rainforest Yasmin Hotel is a lovely place to lay your head if you can tolerate the last 20 miles of very rough road to get there.

Nothing to complain about. Great place.

We made our own breakfast in the central kitchen. Has everything we needed.

Stayed in March 2025

No table or chairs in room to sit.

Good water volume in shower. Free coffee in central kitchen. The pool was clean with sufficient number of deck chairs to lay on. Outdoor patio seating area . Attractively landscaped property. Well defined parking stalls.

Not really a didn't like, just a suggestion: little splash of water on the sunbeds by the swimmingpool in the morning to make them spotless for the day would be lovely 😉

Loved the stuff, Ricardo was super helpful and willing to recommend things to do. All that whilst taking care of us and giving us hints on behaviour in the panama jungle ;)

The garden is beautiful! The outdoor kitchen was perfect for our meals. They even made coffee in the morning. My favourite was the pool, I really enjoyed it. Ricardo was always around to make sure everything was under control. Really a cool place and just great!

Nothing

It does exactly what it says on the tin. It’s clean, comfortable and central to Santa Fe. Ricardo, the host is as welcoming as always ( this is the second time we’ve stayed here), including making the coffeee in the morning - delicious.

Location and staff were phenomenal.

The drive from Santiago to Santa Fe is not for the faint of heart. The road is in terrible condition and makes for very slow going.

The owners hospitality was wonderful. We were greeted and personally shown around our room and the hotel's amenities. The grounds are beautiful and well cared for. The owner was very helpful with questions and also recommendations on what to see, do, and where to eat.

I liked everything

The owners & their son were exceptionally helpful in recommending & providing directions for hiking, restaurants, and activities to do while in Santa Fe. I arrived thinking I had reserved a typical hotel room. Imagine my delight when I discovered that it was a stand alone, tiny house. It was refreshing to use the pool after a long hike (I showered before using the pool). The pool was always clean. The location of the hotel was within walking distance of the town center but far enough away to provide a quiet, relaxing atmosphere.

N/A

Everything. Especially waterfall tour with Ricardo. Visiting Indigenous house was also fun experience. Family is so nice!!

Great bungalows set around the pool, just off the centre of beautiful Santa Fe in the mountains of Panama. The property has a fully working communal kitchen that we used every night. Yasmin and Ricardo are both very friendly and welcoming.

Yasmin and her family and workers are extremely nice people. They genuinely care about their guests and made us feel at home from the first day on. They are knowladgeable about the area, giving advice about what to do and also organise tours. The hotel has a big, clean, well equipped kitchen, beautiful chillout places and a nice pool to enjoy. We had car issues and had to extend our stay. The family went above and beyond helping us and sorting everything out for us. I absolutely recommend staying here!

Stayed in January 2025

Only one electric outlet in the room, none in the bathroom. One plug was for the refrigerator, so the other one had to be shared for charging our phones, use of the fan any other electric needs.

Very comfortable and clean. Great coffee in the morning! If you have time, take Recardos tour to the waterfalls and down to the Caribbean for lunch. We will be back again!

Like staying with family - rustic but very clean accommodation. Comfortable beds, good wifi, loved the shared kitchen and communal area, also the pool was clean. Ricardo and his wife were superb hosts. This is budget accommodation in Santa Fe, friendly and family orientated. Do not expect luxury installations.

Everything was good.

Beautiful grounds Nice kitchen

Nice beautiful grounds nice people Absolutely horrible road. Would not recommend going there for less than 4-5 days Staying less was not worth the pain

Stayed in September 2024

The reason for my trip was to hike independently to see birds and butterflies. There was no information as to how access the hiking trails. I walked / drove around for 1.5 hours looking for an access point. No one in the town could point me to the Mariposa Trail. For this reason I did not stay for 2-3 nights.

The hotel was perfectly lovely.

Stayed in September 2024

Hot water on shower not working

very good introduction by the staff into the locations and what to do, where to eat, etc. private, Comfy, the pool was good

No mirror in the bathroom..

The pool and the fresh air.

Stayed in June 2024

Rooms are slightly dated but that is honestly not a problem at all.

Lovely peaceful spot in Santa Fe. The room was spacious with a personal fridge and sink area. Really great to have access to a pool for a soak after a long walk. The team at the lodge were really welcoming and helpful in signposting what you can do around Santa Fe. The kitchen area was well equipped with lots of space to eat and relax. Would 100% go back if I was in town again!
