Gamboa Rainforest Resort in Panama

Rainforest Hotels and Resorts in Panama

For the more adventurous among us who want to experience eco tourism and the verdant rainforests of Panana and are looking for a luxury resort in Panama, I highly recommend the Gamboa Rainforest Resort. This 5 star luxury resort in Panama is right in the center of the Panamanian rain forest situated on the Panama Canal.

Situated in the Soberania National Park, the Gamboa Rainforest Resort is actually a half hour away from Panama City on the Pacific Coast side of Panama. Located on the shores of Gatun Lake and the Chagres River, the source of water for the Panama Canal. These are a part of Panama’s most valuable assets. It is also about a half hour from the Colon Free Zone.

The Gamboa Rainforest Resort which was built in 2000, has been created with the eco tourist and adventure seeking traveller in mind. It has been built to provide adventurous and educational experiences to its visitors. Exploring a rainforest is often a difficult task and here at the Gamboa Rainforest Resort they have made it all easier for guest to explore because the Gamboa Rainforest Resort is right in the center of it all – the attractions and tours are right at your doorstep.

This 5 star luxury resort in Panana has large modern hotel rooms with all the modern conveniences of a five star hotel resort in Panama City. The amenities of all the hotel rooms include satellite TV, mini bar, electronic safety deposit box, Crystal showers, hair dryers, make up mirror, iron and ironing board, coffee and coffee maker, fire protection systems, monogrammed robes and balconies with a view to the Chagres River. How wonderful it is to sit on your balcony to watch as the sun rises or sets, the sounds of the rainforest, the beauty of wild nature surrounding you and the of the opening or closing of another day in the rainforest.

For those also in search of beauty, relaxation and pampering, guests the visit the Gamboa Spa which is known worldwide. Every service you require is available, from massages, to skin care, facials, manicures and pedicures and many other services. After a long hike in the rainforest, I liked to go for a half hour massage at the spa to soothe my muscles.

For those that love sport fishing, fishing enthusiasts will find some of the greatest fresh water fishing in the world at the Chagres River and Gatun Lake. The Gamboa Rainforest Resort offers the services of their expert guides to catch some of the huge Peacock Bass in the waters.

A few minutes drive away from the resort, for the avid golfer, there is the Summit Gold Course. This is a World Class championship golf course of 18 Hole, par 72, 6,626 yards built by Gregori International designed by Jeffrey Myers.

Other facilities available at the Gamboa Rainforest Resort are wonderfulo freeform natural water pool, a fitness center, tennis courts which are lighted at night for those who want to play tennis at night, kayaks which are free for guests to use, jogging and cycling trails.

So if you have already experienced a Panama City beach hotel and wish to go back to Panama for another type of adventure in the country, the Gamboa Rainforest Resort will provide so much more to explore for those who want to experience eco tourism and the rainforests of Panama. Panama is a multifaceted country and is able to provide all types of vacation for all the different needs of tourists seeking the sun, the beach, the wilderness and adventure.

Royal Decameron Beach Resort Hotel, Panama City

Royal Decameron Beach Resort, Golf, Spa, and Casino Hotel in Panama, a traditional all inclusive experience for first time visitors to Panama. Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, located on two kilometres of private white sand beach, there are eight large swimming pools, including one with a swim-up bar, an 18 hole golf course, organized activities, from water aerobics to volleyball, lush gardens of tropical plants, and many other water sports.

So what does the Royal Decameron Beach Resort include in their all-inclusive holiday package? Just like any other all inclusive beach resort package, there are breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets, a la carter dinners, daily snacks and unlimited domestic and international alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. There are daily activities at hotel, windsurfing, kayaking, paddleboats, snorkelling and sailing. You could take some introductory scuba diving lessons in the pool. All the beach towels you need are provided at the Activities Center. There are tennis courts, beach volleyball, so many sports activities that you can burn off all those extra calories from the buffet dinners.

Okay, so how did I feel about my stay at the Royal Decameron Beach Resort in Panama? For starters, the cost of my one week stay was very reasonable. For a Panama City beach hotel resort, I found the rooms large and spacious. Okay, the design of the place was a bit old fashioned, but it was very clean. The food served at the buffet was very good. And there were lots of activities to do when I felt like doing something more than just floating in the pool and soaking up the sun at the Panama Beach.

The shows at night were pretty entertaining and fun to watch. And when I wanted some pampering, I visited the spa where I got some excellent service. I visited the casino only once with some friends and that was a good night out.
