Gamboa Resort, Panama - A brief History

Gamboa Rainforest Resort is a luxury destination resort located on the Panama Canal, in the heart of the lush Panamanian rainforest. The resort has been carefully designed to provide a variety of educational and adventure experiences. Exploring the rainforest has never been easier, since all attractions and most of the tours are found on the property, or only minutes away from your doorstep.

John`s Recollections - 2009

Actually this was a bit out of our normal accommodation range but being here it became a desire to see and experience everything possible. The location provides a multitude of nature excursions, most being in the 2-4 hour time commitments. A good variety that should satisfy all. Lodging is superb, with our only recommendation to book in the hotel rooms near the dining areas as there are buildings that are removed that do not quite provide the same experience.
Overall I would rate it as A+.

Gamboa Resort, Panama - Our Trip Comments

Just the drive from Panama City gives you the feeling of entering another world. The resort hotel grounds and accommodation are immaculate. Stay in the hotel accommodation if possible as the villa apartments are removed from the central activities and are older than the hotel units. The patio area will be a central focus point for many, but one should not forget the many outdoor activities, which include bird watching and lake scenery, the aerial tramway, fishing, etc.
