Eastern Panama, Panama hotel rooms at the Independent

"Very rustic place but food is delicious and staff is super friendly and willing to help."

"Perfect location"

"The Ordovician Hotel is a hidden gem on the peaceful west side of Isla Grande. From the moment we booked, the service was personal and seamless—thank you, Yohan! We were welcomed by name, greeted with a delicious tropical drink, and felt like cherished guests from start to finish. We stayed in the Peacock Room, which had stunning views of the pool, restaurant, and beach. The room was beautifully curated, with luxurious bedding, high-end amenities, and thoughtful touches like a handwritten welcome card. The food was phenomenal, fusing Panamanian flavors with Asian influences—fresh, flavorful, and unforgettable. Special thanks to Sebastián, Chef Stiven, and the entire team for making every meal a delight. The outdoor massage on the yoga deck overlooking the ocean was magical, and we loved relaxing in the sauna, cold plunge, and hammocks under shaded palapas. We even extended our stay an extra day! A heartfelt thank-you to Rick and Loan for their vision, presence, and commitment to uplifting Panamanian talent. This place is more than a hotel—it’s an experience of luxury, soul, and connection. "
