"Beautiful hotel and wonderful location for hiking and birding. The swimming pool was immaculate. Food was overpriced, but really good. The resort is rather isolated, so you are paying for convenience. There is a local restaurant in town that is a half mile walk if you want to save."

"It does need some upgrading however its a wonderful setup and a great place to stay. Beds and pillows were very comfortable! Room with a balcony is a must! Great place for kids, lots of wildlife. Don't need to be a golfer to enjoy this place."

"The short version of this review: Paradise at a pleasing price! Our stay at Gatun Lake Lodge was wonderful! Pierre, our host, was entertaining, accommodating, competent, and charming! And, the entire staff was very friendly and helpful. Every meal was fresh and delicious. Our cabaña was very bright, comfortable, and clean. The pool was crystal clear and at the perfect temperature. The grounds were very well kept and full of exotic plants. Many of these beautiful plants are raised to become part of those delicious meals. We hiked every day to different parts of the property that includes beautiful views of Gatun Lake from hill tops, forays into the rain forest where a soothing stream spills into the lake and various birds and sloths live just off the path. One morning, we went on a boat to feed the monkeys, and as a bonus, got to see a giant container ship on the canal. One night, we went out in a little launch with “Lide” to find caymans; what a thrill! I highly recommend both tours; just ask Pierre! For our relaxing, quiet times, we sat on the deck watching the sun rise, sun bathed and floated in the pool, and kayaked in the flower-filled marshes along the lakeshore. One word of warning, stay on the main roads from La Chorrera to get to the lodge. Either via C. Hazia Mendoza or Via Sta. Cruz. DO NOT follow the Google Map route through Nueva Emperador; especially at night! I highly-recommend Lake Gatun Lodge for anyone who loves nature, great food, and nice people!"

"Once I remembered the email about access to the hotel it was all great from then on. A great surprise when I opened the door and saw this huge open space room. I loved it. "
