Reviews of Gamboa Rainforest Reserve

missingWrote a review on 27 Augspectacular vistasrelaxing atmospherereasonable pricesdining inconsistencylimited hours
The Deluxe Double Room with River View offered spectacular vistas, especially at sunrise when the river glimmers. The monkey bar provided a breezy spot to relax with reasonably priced drinks while taking in the scenery.
Dining options felt inconsistent. the buffet was on the pricier side for average quality, and sometimes lacked variety. Other restaurants offered limited hours, making meal timing challenging. The trails advertised for exploring were closed, which was a disappointment, limiting outdoor activities during our stay.

We had a memorable stay enjoying wildlife tours and stunning views from our Deluxe Double Room with River View. The air tram and lake tour were highlights, offering up close encounters with monkeys. Make sure to clarify meal options early. some were confusing. Overall, a delightful escape!

Stunning rainforest views and great activities!
Waking up to breathtaking views of the river and the sounds of the rainforest was the highlight of my stay. The sloth sanctuary tour and exploring the nearby trails were truly unforgettable experiences. The staff were accommodating, and the breakfast had a lovely selection of fresh fruits. However, the dining options could be improved, as the buffet food was rather basic.

Beautiful nature with great hiking trails. Slow service at the bar was a letdown for us. Kids loved the playground and enjoyed spotting wildlife throughout the area.

Nature Lovers Hidden Gem
Location is stunning like really green and embedded in the rainforest the reserve has an amazing view overlooking this river. The room was spacious with glorious views from the balcony and the hammock gave me a nice place to chill after long days out.
Wasn’t exactly cheap but still acceptable considering the beauty surrounding us.
