The staff were polite, the bed comfortable and room clean. Water went off for over 12 hours and we had to use the pool water to flush the toilet but I do not think this had anything to do with the hotel as I was told this was the normal in this part of Panama. No one cleaned our room while we were there for 5 days, and we had to put the trash out and requested tissue, towels, etc.

Nice small hotel in Puerto Armuelles
This was just a one-night stop for us, in conjunction with a trip to a monkey preserve nearby. We were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the accommodations. The room was large, with a sitting area and a comfortable bed. The pillows didn't work as well for us, but that tends to be individual. They have a nice deck here you can eat and/or have a glass of wine looking out over the ocean. Pool was nice. One suggestion would be to make the toilet a bit more private in the room. The restaurant menu is limited, but the food we had was good. It served our purposes very well and we would return.

Literally right on the beach. Frank and his staff are amazing. You are close to the heart of Puerto. The suites are huge for 2 people with plenty of light and amazing ocean views from bed.

2/10 Poor

The room, although clean, had no amenities and the furniture was uncomfortable and worn. The pool was dirty. The only places to sit outside were plastic chairs, no lounge chairs available, so relaxing at the beach or the pool meant sitting up straight. Incredibly noisy. No hot water in the showers, unkept grounds, etc. The only positive was the several hard working girls who served food, and did relatively everything else

The people made the stay
We stayed for two nights and a full day. The town seems in decline even though it’s a destination for expats. The hotel isn’t opulent but it is clean, recently renovated and the staff is friendly and very helpful. Shout out to Frank the ‘consierge’ who made our stay - helpful, informative, attentive to details and bi-lingual (since we are not). If we return we will definitely stay at Big Daddies.

Great view and friendly staff. Unfortunately I can't recommend anything else about this place. No window in room, no hot watet as advertised, filthy pool over run with day use people, management unresponsive to guests dog barking all day and all right.
