The property is nice, but a little dated. Its very central and easy to get places from by Uber. If youre looking to go to Boquete its about a 45 min Uber drive and can be a little slow finding an Uber on the way back.

The pool area and Gym are really nice. The room smelled of mold. There wad a spot light shining into the room all night so the curtains didn't keep out much light. We booked a suite because it advertised a separate room but it was just a regular room with a couch and a desk.
