Gamboa Rainforest Reserve

Gamboa Rainforest Reserve

10/10 Excellent
"This is a hidden gem! Staff so nice and welcoming, tours were great and easy to book through the hotel. Rooms are fantastic and what a beautiful view to wake up to! Hammock is nice and relaxing. So many pools and it was off season so I had a whole pool to myself. The restaurant staff remembered you, and the food was great - limited menu but everything was soooo good. If you like the city, this may not be for you, but if you want nature it is amazing! The hotel photos are accurate, and it looks just like their photos online I work in the hospitality business, hotels specifically and I give this hotel a 12 out of 10. Stay here and tell your friends!!"

Hotel Andros

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."
