This was our first hotel out of two we would stay at in Panama. We arrived in the evening via a transfer and walked into a sleepy hotel around 9pm. The lobby was hot and humid, but the service was impeccable from our entry through to our departure. We went right to sleep soon after we were shown to our... More

Reviewers staying in luxury properties in third world countries often forget that they are no longer in America and that attention to certain details are often not very important in some cultures. Stay at the Gamboa Rainforest Resort in order to enjoy being immersed in Panama's rainforest and forget about the luxuries you might experience in Paris, New York, or... More

This was a great experience, and the highlight of the trip. The view of the Chagres River was amazing, with local wildlife and birds almost everywhere you looked. The optional side excursion tours were great, especially the evening boat ride, to see the alligators, caymen, and sloths. The rooms were spacious, and well laid out. Bathrooms were huge, well lit,... More

This is a great place from which to explore this aspect of Panama. The lodging is fantastic, the food just fine and there are lots of opportunities to explore features of Panama. A must is a trip to visit the Embera indigenous tribe. The pool is lovely. The staff speaks English and is very courteous. Try to get a room... More

What a disaster. Not sure where to begin. Every single interaction I had with staff and hotel was awful. The following all took place in the mere one night we spent there. We planned on staying longer but had to check out because it was that awful. Over the course of a single night's stay, the following happened: 1. Rooms... More

After reading other reviews on this hotel, I wasn't expecting much from the retreat that my company had planned at Gamboa. The rooms were nice and spacious, beds were super comfy, staff was helpful and courteous and the pool was great. We had contracted the buffet for all our meals, and while it offered a decent selection at each meal... More

Recently visited the Gamboa Rainforest Resort, the hotel and facilities were top of the line and the staff friendly and fluent in English and Spanish. The resort offered a variety of activities, I enjoyed the spa and had a wonderful massage while my husband went fishing for Peacock Bass. He enjoyed viewing monkeys and sloths in the trees as he...

The Gamboa Rainforest resort has great potential. The location and view are wonderful. The main restaurant is good. But the room was consistently damp even with the a/c running all the time. Restaurant staff is helpful. Front desk somewhat less than helpful. We arrived early in the day but they wouldn't give us a room until noon even though the... More

We stayed in the main hotel which is showing it's age. The lobby is lovely, but the rooms smell musty due to the humidity and could use a through cleaning. The views are amazing. Breakfast was included and it was hit or miss. One morning at 7:30 AM there were no eggs ready and the person who was to make... More
