Gamboa Rainforest Reserve

Gamboa Rainforest Reserve

10/10 Excellent
"The property was beautiful! The views and ambiance were great! The rooms were spacious and comfortable with great patios. We love the monkey bar the most and our server Maria took excellent care of us our entire stay. Ninoshka was our favorite bar tender. There were lots of different menu options. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet and we were very pleased with the selections and freshness of food options. The property itself could use some tlc and upgrades in some areas. The new gym was a great addition. All the tours were worth the price and time. There were lots of options for everyone. We were able to easily uber to and from the airport. Our stay was very relaxing and we will be back in the future!"

Hotel Andros

8/10 Good
"Hotel Andros is a nice hotel--well kept and managed. It is in a rough portion of the city. But, the rooms were spacious and clean. The A/C worked well in the rooms. The only thing is that the A/C is not out in the common areas. The convenient access to the attached restaurant is a very nice plus and it is in a very convenient location for those needing to access the center of Colon."

"Was alone most of the time, only person running the restaurant was around. Good food. Not really good beach, hard rocks underfoot in water. Town doesn’t have much to say for itself. But if you want tropical quiet then this is the place."
