Pros (+) Gorgeous setting in the middle of the rainforest and very close to the Panama Canal. The hotel and pool area were beautiful and there were plenty of things to see and do during our 4 day visit in Jan. for nature lovers who take advantage of the many trails leading from the property, as well as the guided rainforest and boat tours. Our only complaint was the limited choice of food, since the option...

Pros (+) This was our first visit to Gamboa and we loved the jungle tours, both arial tram and boat tours were vey enjoyable and had great staff. 'However the staff in the hotel and restuarant were very lazy, inattentive and seemed untrained and lack the needed hospitality and services that one would expect from a hotel like Gamboa Resort. Especially since they are part of a larger hotel group , including ...
Cons (-) When we checked in they never asked for a credit card for incidentals. The room was prepaid for. When we went to sign up for our air tram excursion, because there was not CC on file and could not bill to the room, the tour staff at the tour desk took cash for our canal tour of $85. gave us a reciept and two stickers to wear and we went on the tour. Our guide was Yasir sp? He would remember us as w...

Pros (+) The dinner and breakfast buffets were satisfying. There weren't a lot of different entree selections but the few that were there satisfied our palates.
Cons (-) I expected more activities and entertainment. We became bored relatively quickly. We expected to see more animals and be constantly reminded we were in the middle of the rainforest. Unfortunately, neither happened. The tourist desk staff were not as accommodatIng as I would have expected. The bathroom needed renovations but the shower head was new and worked well. The bed was comfortable. Being on...

Pros (+) Value. great view from the rooms. Good location for couples getaways or large families to stay. Humid, fresh air and the best jungle experience ive been.
Cons (-) Staff in front desk not very helpful. Restaurants are 3/5 in food quality and takes forever if you order from the menu. Make sure to go to the concierge for activities. Info is scarce

Pros (+) Rooms were beautiful. Hot water, 24-7 room service, English speaking staff, gorgeous scenery, beautiful sounds every morning from the birds and other wildlife. Also, the Gamboa Resort, which is in the middle of a national park, partners with Gamboa Tours. We went on a night safari on the first night and saw crocodiles, caimans, and a capybara! The next day, we took a speed boat through the canal t...

Pros (+) Beautiful location in the rain forest, great swimming pools. Great for bird watching and relaxing. Quiet get away from the city.
Cons (-) We booked a room and upon arriving were told that since the reservation desk was closed they wouldn't honor the price. We asked to speak to the manager and we're told he had left for the night. After finally deciding to stay anyways, the manager appeared. He had been there the whole time, they hadn't even checked. Tried to bill me twice. Once when we arrived and also at check out. They need to tra...
