We stayed at SLPL for 7 nights and had a nice experience here. We had originally booked a single room for our stay, but Maria upgraded us to the upstairs suite for the same price. Very nice! There are a total of 8 rooms here, but only 4 or 5 were ever filled while we were there. The grounds were beautiful and the Panamanian cuisine was very nice. All 3 meals each day were a little different and we never knew from day to day what we would have, but each meal was delicious. Maria Isabel was a delight and we enjoyed her company very much! She is leaving to begin a new life and business on her own and we wish her the very best. She will be a great loss to the Lodge!! Our main birding guide, Sam, is leaving as well and we will miss him too! He's the best birding guide we've ever had. He truly has a passion for birds and he was a real pleasure to be with on our Pipeline Road and Achiote Road birding tours. We missed much interaction with Micheal because he went home to spend the holidays with his family. The lodge was experiencing some electrical problems while we were there and our water pressure would come and go, as well as the lights in our room. It made for interesting showers! So, Maria, we bid you a fond farewell and Via con Dios! We are glad that had at least a short time to be with you and you were the best! Adios, friend.
