The view was spectacular, but the road to the property was not great. Because it was on top of a hill, it was very windy which made for a lot of noise when we were trying to sleep. Staff was very friendly and helpful, but their English was very limited.

Unexpected Pleasure

Stayed two nights so we could see the El Cano Archaeological site (about 90 minutes away) one day and the El Valle market (about a hour away) the next morning. We loved our time there. The owners are super nice and accommodating. The views of the Pacific and adjacent mountains are awesome. The free breakfast blew us away. Eggs, fruit and other typical Panamanian items. This place is worth seeing and staying.

Enjoyed our stay in a clean facility with AC only in rooms. Be cautious of wet floors due to hallway AC units. Tranquil country setting, friendly staff, though communication can be challenging. Ideal for a romantic getaway overlooking a small valley. Good and reasonably priced food.

This was the start of a 15-day trip to Panama. We had ground transportation to where we rented our car in Coronado, so the Eclipse was a short drive on an already long and busy day of travel. We were warmly greeted and escorted to our room. We quickly overcame the language barrier, and the staff was very accommodating. It is a little way off the Panamerican highway so having food service was great. The food was very good every meal for the two days we stayed. We were well rested to start are travels across Panama. Would not hesitate to stay again.

Beautiful location and good amenities. Nice to be away from the business of Panama City. The only concern is the service. Staff are very friendly however not efficient and at times very slow. If you are not fluent in Spanish the use of a translator is a must. Not a complaint since my inability to speak Spanish is my issue but a helpful hint
