Owner was very accommodating and nice. We arrived a bit later so the kitchen was closed but the host was still willing to make us sandwiches. Beautiful pool with outstanding views. And modern controllable in room AC. Highly recommend!

Enjoyed our stay in a clean facility with AC only in rooms. Be cautious of wet floors due to hallway AC units. Tranquil country setting, friendly staff, though communication can be challenging. Ideal for a romantic getaway overlooking a small valley. Good and reasonably priced food.

This was the start of a 15-day trip to Panama. We had ground transportation to where we rented our car in Coronado, so the Eclipse was a short drive on an already long and busy day of travel. We were warmly greeted and escorted to our room. We quickly overcame the language barrier, and the staff was very accommodating. It is a little way off the Panamerican highway so having food service was great. The food was very good every meal for the two days we stayed. We were well rested to start are travels across Panama. Would not hesitate to stay again.

Beautiful location and good amenities. Nice to be away from the business of Panama City. The only concern is the service. Staff are very friendly however not efficient and at times very slow. If you are not fluent in Spanish the use of a translator is a must. Not a complaint since my inability to speak Spanish is my issue but a helpful hint

Very beautiful setting. Calm, relaxing, surrounded by nature but only 15minutes from Coronado and it’s beaches and shops but you would think you are far far away. A really nice family home set up. Staff are great and very helpful.

The view and pool / outside ares are stunningly beautiful. You can see the ocean from the infinity pool. The rooms are really big and the private balcony is a perfect touch to relax in the mornings with a coffee. Staff are very sweet and helpful and the food menu is very varied with lots of choices. It is so close to coronado, only 15 minute drive but it feels like you are far far away from all the noice and busy areas. All in all it was a perfect stay and for the price it is amazing and great value.

This is a property with great potential! The view is special and the manager and owner try their best to provide a good experience for their guest. The home recipe of the owner is great. The atmosphere to have dinner by the pool with the lights in the distance is very pleasant and relaxing. t is still at the beginning of their journey so there are things need to be finished. And while we were there, the wind was very strong. But we are sure it will be a great location for event and some relaxing moment.

Pros -Nice balcony with a view of the ocean in the distance -Nice pool/social area -Clean -A/C and fan -Nice owner Cons -Only accepts cash -No wifi internet anywhere -No functioning TV (there is one on the wall but it doesn’t work) -Tried to leave early, but could not because they open breakfast/hotel at 8AM on Sundays (was not mentioned to us at check-in) -Tried calling someone so we could leave and could not get ahold of anyone for 30mins -Bed squeaks and cracks anytime you move (a few time we thought we broke the bed) -There are only bed sheets (no blankets) -Wind howls a lot (not the hotel’s fault)

Good Morning Christina. I’m sorry you had some bad experiences at the hotel and apologies for the check out problems. We will look into them And rectify. In reference to no internet or TV... it is actually stated on the website that we don’t have either at the hotel as yet as we are still finalising that. This is why the room prices reflect the services currently available. Blankets are also available on request. We do hope you come and visit us again and we hope to have the internet / tv’s up and running by the end of January. Thank you.

Schone kamer met balkon en met een heel mooi uitzicht, over het zwembad en de natuur. Vriendelijke mensen Fijn dat er een waterkoker op de kamer was, oploskoffie en zakjes thee. Het ontbijt was goed en zo mooi opgemaakt. Dit is een goede locatie om met de auto rondje Valle de Anton te rijden.

A simpatia da equipe, salva as carências
O prédio é velho e percebe-se as reformas com "gambiarras", como as coberturas de telhas plásticas, várias já soltando e fazendo muito barulho com o vento. Os banheiros são escuros e antigos, mas o chuveiro funciona bem e o fato de fornecerem shampoo e condicionador é um plus. O café da manhã é servido após pedido - não é buffet - e pode ser bem demorado se houver muitos pedidos na frente. Chegamos a esperar mais de 30 minutos. Não há minibar nos quartos. A via de acesso foi reformada, está perfeita. Em resumo, pagamos cerca de cem dólares para um hotel que deveria custar no máximo 60, pois apesar da simpatia e esforço da equipe (que aliás é mínima) é velho e mal mantido.

Horreur
Nous avons passé une première nuit Nous avons mangé ils ont mis un temps fou à nous servir et ne nous ont pas les accompagnents Le lendemain le petit déjeuner n'était pas inclus c'était une erreur de la page internet ,nous a dit le patron agressif et la deuxième nuit panne de courant pas d'Internet,, pas de douche donc. La piscine est sale elle n'est pas entretenue les chambres n'en parlons pas Pas de chaise juste un lit et la salle d'eau pas de miroir, vétuste . En plus il y a eu un vent terrible toute la nuit on était seul dans l'hôtel et j'avoue qu'on avait un peu peur En conséquence nous avons payé pour 2 nuits Avec petit déjeuner Ça était l'horreur ce serait préférable d'enlever cet hotel il n'est pas entretenu et le patron agressif Ce genre d'expérience c'est la première fois que ca nous arrive..

Comodo y con hermosa vista para relajarse
Muy bonito el lugar para desconectarse de la ciudad. La vista desde los balcones de las habitaciones y la piscina es muy bonita con areas verdes montañosas y el mar a lo lejos. Si deben reparar el aire acondicionado ya que le faltaba gas y poner el internet los cuales me knformaron pondran este mes. La comida buena y la recamara muy grande y comoda. Ire nuevamente con mi familia. Lo recomiendo.
