We stayed four nights and had excellent food at each meal. The trek up and down the stairs does get a bit old--but the birding is fantastic. We upgraded to one of the suites and had a very large room and an en-suite bath which was terrific. Carlos was our birding guide and was fabulous! He knew where all the... More

The Canopy Tower is one of three hotels owned by an environmental activist. it is a decommissioned "listening post" of the United States, a relic from the Cold War. it is right in the middle of a National Park, Soberiania, which has lakes and jungle and trails filled with lush plants, flowers, wonderful trees, animals, birds, butterflies and green, dappled...

This review is not based on staying overnight at the Canopy Tower, but visiting the Canopy Tower. My husband and I stayed at its nearby sister property, Canopy B&B. You don't need to be an overnight guest to visit the Canopy Tower, but there is a fee. ($25 pp and that only gets you in between 7a.m. and 10:00 a.m.)... More

We spent three nights at the Canopy tower and I wish we could have stayed longer - The guides were excellent and were very considerate of my husband's slow pace due to health problems - Our guide even produced a little camp stool for David to sit on while we were out on the pipeline road - and while we...

we had a wonderful time staying at both the canopy lodge and canopy tower.....and we are not birders! In Central America we have travelled through Costa Rica, and Panama feels less westernized. If you are looking for marble baths and a big screen tv, donald trump just opened an hotel in Panama city. The tower is only 45 minutes from... More

This is a very unique property and is definitely geared toward birders, but anyone interested in a nature experience would enjoy it! Their guides are superb!! They offer a variety of room options but they are all lacking in sound-proofing so you need to remember to be quiet and respect the other visitors sleep schedules.

Our group of 6 friends had an incredible week split between the Canopy Tower and Lodge. On our 3-hour drive to the airport we couldn't stop talking about coming back! Our trip went very smoothly and exceeded our expectations. From our comfortable accommodations and delicious meals to the truly amazing nature and bird sightings of Panama, we had the trip... More
