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!

I spent a very enjoyable three night stay here as a solo traveller. It is a quiet, secluded location. There is kayaking, fishing from the dock when the water is up, or from kayak. There are a few short hiking trails and a pool. The kitchen staff cleaned and cooked the fish i caught for dinner. Gilberto was a very welcoming and helpful host. A nice place to enjoy nature and Lake Gatun and relax.

Everything was great! The place is build with guest's comfort above all in mind.
I've been a camper since I was 15 and I camped in over a dozen countries. This was the first time ever that I saw a 5-star hotel bathroom "in the jungle."

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 . 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. 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.
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.
Amazing view from our room balcony and from the hotel public areas. Amazing sunrise and sunsets - enjoyed the sounds of the jungle around us, particularly the howler monkeys. Great hammock included on balcony. Very fun, attractive, refreshing swimming pool. Surprisingly delicious buffet dining - breakfast, lunch and dinner. Excursions offered right in lobby were very interesting and worthwhile.
Really fun place to take kids. It was a $30-40 Uber from Panama City. There is a lot to do here. The tours cost extra but we all liked the Aerial tram and Gatun monkey boat tour best. The free night safari was short but fun. Overall we saw lots of monkeys. caipybara, caiman and birds. The pool is relaxed and the buffet meals had something for everyone.
yes the property is old, but that has also its own special Charme ! the room was very clean, with a nice room and even balcony. the staff was friendly, all other hotel facilities such as the pool area were good as well.
Food is a bit expensive but delicious . overall I highly recommend to stay here if you want to feel comfort and explore the rainforest
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.
This was a pleasant surprise! I wish ALL my bookings could be like this. Clean, organized, great location (given it was in Gamboa, basically in the middle of nowhere), great condition with everything you needed.
Professional staff in all areas- reception, tours, wait staff, housekeeping. A-Plus
Beautiful setting with wildlife to view
Room was comfortable and cleaned daily
Nice pool area
Three tours offered were great.
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.
The location is amazing. the grounds of the hotel are great, overlooking the river. spacious. the staff at the desk is really nice and helpful.
Great view from the room. lots of activities.
