Gamboa Rainforest Reserve, hotel in Gamboa

Set within Soberania National Park, the Gamboa Rainforest Reserve offers an outdoor pool, a sensory spa and stunning views of the River Chagres. Panama City is just a 30-minute drive away.

Our room was very spacious and well laid out, with a lovely view (and deck) looking out to the river. We really appreciated the daily cleaning, and the fact that the AC was kept on constantly. The hotel is set right inamongst numerous activities - the Sloth Sanctuary (you can only buy tickets from the hotel for the tour), the zipline tours, a free night tour, and a bike rental shop. There are additional trails nearby to walk/bike on, and it's also a relatively short walk into 'town'. Staff were very accommodating, and the breakfast was quite superb (heaps of fresh fruit as well as baked goods and hot dishes). We only got to use the large pool once, but it was a nice place to hang out for a while! We would definitely recommend this accommodation option to anyone wanting to enjoy everything that Gamboa has to offer.

Gatun Lake Lodge Hotel, hotel in Gamboa

Gatun Lake Lodge Hotel offers air-conditioned rooms in Pueblo Nuevo. This bed and breakfast features a rooftop pool, a garden and free private parking.

The place is amazing, very peaceful. The stuff is extremely helpful and kind. Special thank you to Gilberto who was very welcoming and nice, sharing some stories about the place and also helped us with a last minute request without any problems. The food is great and super fresher, cooked by lovely ladies. You get to relax and also experience some nature, we have seen animals like caymans, turtles and many birds. We were able to use kayaks which was a lot of fun and the pool itself it’s perfect with an amazing view. Real paradise, I highly recommend it! We rented a car in Panama city and drove here and the road was not so bad as we expected, make sure to follow instructions you receive. You will also get to enjoy a company of two lovely dogs how are the real hosts and guides around the place :)

    We rented mountain bikes from Gamboa Bikes for the days we were in Gamboa. This gave us the flexibility to bike both the Pipeline and Plantation Roads, both of which were wonderful for both hiking and biking (although the Pipeline Rd was a bit bumpier).

    Enjoyed staying there for three days .

    Enjoyed staying there for three days . Took most of the tours offered . The river tour was the best . Don’t expect to see a lot of wildlife as advertised . The resort itself is an old one and very tired looking . They need to do a major facelift . The food is acceptable . Room was also very tired looking . Pool area is great . When booking tours , the staff didn’t seem to be competent . They didn’t charge us when we booked the lift tour and we almost didn’t make it !

    It´s a great place to travel with kids.

    It´s a great place to travel with kids. The excursions give you the opportunity to get in touch with the Panamanian nature. I recommend the boat excursion, You can sail near big boats entering the Canal. They also take to specific spost where you can see monkeys and other animals.

    We loved our stay at Gamboa Rainforest Resort.

    We loved our stay at Gamboa Rainforest Resort. So much to do near the resort. The. Cultural and Nature excursions were first rate. The Panama Canal is fascinating to learn about. The facilities are gorgeous and although they are a bit vintage and show wear one sees the bones of this beautiful property cannot Be denied. There was a beautiful wedding while we were there and we went to nature sanctuaries hiked jungle trails and saw all kinds of animals Monkeys and birds. One of The best parts of our 2 week stay in Panama! Wish there were more food options however.

    I want Booking.com to pay attention to the comments. But, no one has contacted me since I wrote this. The property advert is misleading. To help and protect other traveler Booking.com surely has a duty to remedy this - to avoid them also being disappointed. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you

    Gamboa itself is a small village.

    Gamboa itself is a small village. There is only a restaurant or two outside of the hotel, and one small grocery story for common items. The visit is really based on the Gamboa Rainforest Resort (lots of tours) and the Pipeload road and Discovery center for birding.

    When we checked in, the place was very quiet and we were chatting nicely with the receptionist and as we arrived early our room wasn't ready. But after a few mins talking, she said its now ready and they upgraded us to a suite! We come to this resort often, even though I normally moan about the service but this time it was fantastic. We also did the night drive and because the hotel was nearly empty, we got an hour free night safari rather than 30mins. Great stay.

    Breakfast was excellent; coffee aside. As were the buffet meals in general. The hotel itself is an opulent old relic. Still quite a place. Wonderful pool when the staff weren't allowing guests to pump out music at ridiculously loud levels. Tree trek/zip line was great fun. Breakfast staff was fantastic as was Victor on the front desk. Comfy room, amazing river view. The brass monkey foot rest at the monkey bar, just one if many fantastic details.

    Wonderful resort with nice rooms and great views. We were able to take advantage of multiple different tours offered onsite, and enjoyed them all. Large pool area with swim up bar was a nice afternoon treat given the heat. Several food options were available. We loved this quick getaway from the city with the beautiful grounds and various activities to suit any interest. Would definitely return with friends and family!

    Beautiful, safe neighborhood with a native garden tucked up near the rainforest. The studio was perfectly clean with all visitors need in the bathroom and kitchen. The owner was out and f the country but was readily in contact by messages. There was a break in the water line to Gamboa but we were both immediately notified and our water needs were met completely. The birding was awesome. We’ll be back in a heartbeat.

    Charming 1930s house in local neighborhood of very small town of Gamboa. Great location amidst the rainforest - we saw all kinds of birds and animals. The house is lovely, has high ceilings, fans, mosquito netting on the windows and is very comfortable. Gamboa is a lovely small rural place to stay and Jorge was a wonderful host.

    The location of this hotel is great - in the middle of the rain forest. The lobby is very impressive when you enter for the 1st time. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The free night safari tour was a nice surprise. It's great to lay in your private hammock on your balcony to listen to the jungle sounds.

    great place and excellent staff, they are doing their best to recover from Covid restrictions. I feel that many of the tours should be included in your stay to walk at your leisure for no extra charge.
