In a privileged coastal location on the mainland at Boca Chica, it is perfectly positioned for a completely relaxing vacation. In 2019 we were voted Top Hotel in Panama in the TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards.

Hotel accommodations are in twenty large, contemporary-style bungalow guest rooms. All rooms are set in tropical gardens alongside the glistening blue water; open your drapes each morning and the Pacific Ocean is there to greet you!

Here your day can be as chilled or as adventurous as you want it to be. Bathe in our two beautiful inviting infinity-style pools, sun yourself on our wide terraces or small private cove, or let us take care of you in our stylish restaurant and bar. And all the time you’ll be taking in the gorgeous surrounding views of the sailboats on the water and the islands beyond.

The Gulf of Chiriqui area enjoys a tropical climate and average daytime temperatures all year round of 82º Fahrenheit (28º C), with slightly cooler temperatures at night. The average humidity is 70%. Rainfall is much lower than the rest of the country meaning we have more hours of sunshine per day. Between December and April there is virtually no rain. The area is totally hurricane free- this is a destination to vacation in all year round.

We have an open-sided massage studio for optional wellness treatments and covered yoga deck over the water (see below). Also a petanque french ball game court and golf driving range for courtesy guest use. Also kayak use is included as a courtesy for TripTribe groups.
