The property is nice, but a little dated. Its very central and easy to get places from by Uber.
If youre looking to go to Boquete its about a 45 min Uber drive and can be a little slow finding an Uber on the way back.

The pool area and Gym are really nice. The room smelled of mold. There wad a spot light shining into the room all night so the curtains didn't keep out much light. We booked a suite because it advertised a separate room but it was just a regular room with a couch and a desk.

It was a beautiful historic hotel. The location was lovely, within walking distance of the park and a market. They had a beautiful pool that was quite freezing. I don't understand why a hotel would provide a beautiful pool, with water that is too cold to go into. My room was comfortable however the hotel was not full and the view from my window was looking out at a concrete wall. No view
