The views from this hotel were incredible and while we definitely enjoyed our stay here there are a few things that I wish we would have known in advance! First off, there was no hot water, which made for not the most enjoyable showers. Secondly, the toilet in our room hardly worked. Thirdly, the rooms were not very clean and the power randomly went out for a couple hours in the middle of the day making it very hot. Otherwise, the food was good, breakfast especially. The pool was also nice and you are a 2 minute walk from a completely secluded beach. There are also two very cute dogs on property!

Punta Duarte is off the beaten path. It is for someone who likes nature and solitude. It has a beautiful view of the ocean and a short walk down a nice trail to a beautiful beach. We had a nice breakfast each morning poolside. I love the beautiful wood doors and the wood carved beds we’re comfortable. We traveled with our 2- girls 12 and 16 they loved the pool and shelling. We were there during La Niña so lots of rain the road was fine. We had a 4 wheel drive but it wasn’t necessary unless you want to go to playa Morrillo for surfing. We enjoyed driving to Playa Reinna for surfing and drinks or lunch poolside. I can’t help but mentioning Chef Michael, El Sol restaurant at the gate entrance for the best meals we have had in Panama. Our family ate three meals there, the food and the view is spectacular. So bring a book, relax and enjoy the natural beauty of Punta Duerte.

Erholung und Gastfreundschaft garantiert

Privat geführtes kleines Hotel in einzigartiger Lage mit einem Traumstrand fußläufig 5 Minuten. Die Anfahrt von der Hauptstrasse zum Hotel ist ein wenig holprig . Gabi die Besitzerin ist eine wirkliche Gastgeberin und überaus freundlich und bemüht den Gästen eine schöne Zeit zu bieten. Die Atmosphäre im gesamten Hotel ist sehr erholsam und entspannt, keine laute Musik nur das Rauschen des Meeres ist zu hören. Auf der schöne Terrasse mit Blick auf den einladenden Pool wird das Frühstück und Abendessen serviert. Am ersten Abend war das Essen recht spartanisch aber dafür nach Rücksprache mit der Chefin am 2. Abend wirklich top und kreativ. Die Zimmer sind einfach aber mit allem was die Gäste benötigen, das Bett bequem, eine leise gute Klimaanlage, alles sehr sauber. Unser Zimmer hatte einen Balkon mit teilweise Meerblick. Es gibt auch Zimmer mit sehr schönem Meerblick, wenn möglich sollte man diese buchen. Ehrlicherweise muss man sagen dass ein paar Auffrischungen im Zimmer nicht schaden können. Alles in allem können wir das Hotel bestens Gästen empfehlen die die außergewöhnliche Ruhe und Gastfreundschaft genießen möchten. Wenn wir mal wieder in der Nähe sein sollten dann werden wir auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.

Das Hotel ist perfekt für alle, die absolute Ruhe suchen. Rund um das Hotel befindet sich nichts außer die Natur und nach etwa 100 Meter Fußweg ein wunderschöner, naturbelassener Strand. Das Hotel hat wenige Zimmer, daher befinden sich nur wenig Gäste vor Ort. Der Ort ist super zum Entspannen. Die Anfahrt zum Hotel sollte unbedingt mit einem höhergelegenen PKW erfolgen, da die letzten 4km aus einem schotterweg mit extrem vielen Löchern und großen Steinen besteht.

Hotel in toller Lage unweit vom Traumstrand

Das 2012 eröffnete Hotel liegt oberhalb des weitläufigen Strands Playa Duarte. Zum Strand Playa Morillo ca. 20 Min. zu Fuß oder per Auto über die Hauptstraße. Anlage etwas in die Jahre gekommen aber alles noch in gutem Zustand. Große Zimmer, schöne Terrassen und toller Pool. Sehr gutes Frühstück. Abendessen haben wir nicht eingenommen. In Torio, dem nächsten Ort, gibt es ein paar Restaurants.

Einzigartige ruhige Lage auf einer Anhöhe umgeben von Natur und Meerrauschen. Das Anwesen selbst ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Der Pool ist aber neu gemacht und die Zimmer sind sauber. Der eigene Strand war sehr schön und meistens menschenleer. Die Inhaberin ist herzlich und hilfsbereit und das Essen ist definitiv ein Highlight. Wir wären gerne länger geblieben.

Excelente lugar para disfrutar la belleza de naturaleza y las playas que hay en Torio, Veraguas. A mi esposa y dos hijas de 2 y 4 años les gusto mucho la habitación y piscina con jacuzzi. La comida deliciosa preparada a la hora solicitada, con especialidades alemanas y ricos postres. La playa es una de las más hermosas de la costa pacifica panameña, sin mucha intervención del hombre, casi virgen. Todas las medidas de bioseguridad se cumplían con mucha dedicación desde que llegamos hasta cuando salimos. La carretera de la entrada y la playa permiten una excelente opción para correr en la mañana. Seguro regresaremos pronto!

The owner and hostess is just a marvelous person, and she is a fantastic chef. All our meals were 5 star, in every regard. The room was clean and well appointed, it even had a mini refrigerator. Sheets, pillows, and mattress were top shelf. It appeared as if the AC had been recently upgraded. Unfortunately, there was no hot water. This is not uncommon in many hotels and even homes in this region. I did speak to the owner concerning this, but as I said, it is not uncommon. I was not able to pay with my credit card, though I was offered the choice of a bank transfer. Once again, this is often times the case in boutique establishments in this country. I was not surprised, and paid cash. The location is out of this world. If you want to truly get away from it all, this is the place. It is but a short walk to a spectacular beach, the most people I saw there other than my wife and myself was three. We had the whole beach to ourselves! We also enjoyed the swimming pool and Jacuzzi, the water was both clear and inviting. Lastly, I fell head over heels in love with Suzy, the young dog that accompanied us on every beach excursion. It was a delight to see her enjoying herself as much as we did, chasing crabs and finding sticks to play with. My wife and I feel very lucky to have discovered this hotel, and if the time ever permits, I would not hesitate an instant to return.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Although the owner, Gaby, seems very nice, the property, the amenities and the helpfulness of the staff fall well below acceptable. Let's start with the 15 minute driveway. The first thing you will encounter is the several KM long driveway/road that hasn't been maintained in a decade. It's like driving through a minefield, and that's not an exaggeration. We thought, well, we'll only have to to this once, but in reality, we wanted to get away from the hotel as much as possible so it was a constant problem. Even at our first meal, we knew we wanted to find somewhere else to eat. The meal is only made worse by a wine that comes out of a box that you can only describe as, bad. I was there with my wife and had communicated before I arrived that I wanted to fish several days and was told the hotel would be happy to make the arrangements for me with a local Capt. This was a complete failure. They weren't able to get me someone to go fishing with, when this was a central theme of our vacation. For whatever reason, it doesn't seem as though they have much contact with the local community for resources, and I was completely misled about their abilities. It does have a nice view, although the doors on the rooms have gaps on the top and bottom that let bugs in. We found a great restaurant/hotel right at the beginning of the road into Gaby's , Hotel El Sol Morillo. If you want to come to this area, I would suggest a reservation there, everything is superior.
