Top Sabanitas Hotel Reviews

Gamboa Rainforest Reserve

Gamboa Rainforest Reserve

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely stunning hotel, so glad we stayed here. Rooms were really spacious and the hammock on the balcony meant you could just sit and watch the wildlife all the time. And there is wildlife everywhere, we saw so much. Also recommend the night safaris. The pool was great for our kids as had both shallow and deep ends. It is a bit in the middle of nowhere but we easily managed to get an uber to/from Panama City"

"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."
