Take your family to enjoy pristine tropical rainforest in the unspoilt secret that is Panama, based in this riverside hotel a short drive from the capital. No expense was spared in the conception of this graceful resort where accommodation is in bright modern cottages and villas.
The suites and apartments cater especially well for families with up to two children. The resort’s facilities are unrivalled in the region - sports on offer include tennis, golf, fishing, cycling and kayaking. For wildlife enthusiasts the bird-life is especially abundant and tours with expert guides are available: but exotic howler monkeys, poison-dart frogs and sloths all thrive in the area. Within the grounds, your family can enjoy exhibits of snakes, orchids and butterflies; and a highlight is a ride in the unique canopy tram for an aerial view of the forest. There are seven variously-styled restaurants and bars and a disco - recover from your exertions relaxing in the well-equipped spa.
