Gamboa Rainforest Resort is a spacious old place with a beautiful entry lounge. The views that greet you are spectacular, looking over Gatun Lake & forested hills. Rooms are spacious with daily maid service. All staff wear masks, even drivers of the two small transport vehicles that shuttle guests to trip-heads. Meals were buffet style, varied, & interesting. Masks were provided for guests at buffet table but few guests used them. Tour desk & Guest Help desk readily provided information. Staff were polite and efforts made to maintain area cleanliness. Resort is undergoing restoration following the years of covid slowdown. This was my third trip. I recommend this resort for anyone who enjoys the wealth of birdlife and animal life that surrounds it in a beautiful location.

I visited this resort last year about the same time. Enjoyed the trip immensely. Upon arrival this time, looking at views from my balcony, I felt travel stress melt away, so ignored unpacking & headed straight outdoors. Photo of this resort should focus on what is seen from building not other way around. So much beauty! Jungle clad hills, Chargres river, interesting bird species around you, plus trails & other walks to explore. Critters seen within walking distance were capybaras, agoutis, coatimundis, capuchin and howler monkeys, and 2-toed & 3-toed sloths. Rooms good, food so-so, nice staff.

Hotel is very nice, needs some maintenance due to rain forest location ( rust and mold due to high humidity) service personal is absolutely super helpful and well trained, rooms are always clean and tidy, food is skillfully presented and very tasty, however not much variety especially after more than one week stay, offered tours are low value and way over priced,

A place for enjoying the natural history of Central America. Don't go for luxury or gourmet food, but if you want comfort while exploring some of the most accessible tropical rainforests, here's your place. Enjoy on-site outdoor activities (several free), the Pipeline Road, and the Rainforest Discovery Center.

As nature and birding buffs, we ADORE this place, but we know there will be sacrifices. The exact same breakfast buffet 4 days in a row, and mediocre service by the wait staff at the restaurant are two major drawbacks. We were also overcharged at the front desk, after they got their credit card terminals to work (took a day). This beautiful hotel is unparallelled in its nature offerings but with just a few touches it could be so much better.
