Punta Duarte Garden Inn

Excelent hotel, personnel is very kind and gives ypu a warm wellcome. Hotel is located on a wonderful area with an amazing view of the south coast of Veraguas (Mariato) with Cebaco Island just in front. Hotel has a wonderful private beach. A perfect place to relax, enjoy nature and the magestuosity of the Pacific Ocean. Food on the restaurant is also great. Maybe the only missing thing is that there are no TV's on the rooms, but who needs a TV with all that nature for you to appreciate.

Punta Duarte Garden Inn is at the point overlooking a beautiful natural beach that is very isolated. It is a nice place to relax and enjoy quality family time away from it all. It was very rainy when we visited for 4 nights so I am glad I had brought a good book to read. Our 2 children enjoyed the pool as the beach is a bit rough for swimming but they enjoyed shelling and walking around the small island at low tide and the tide pools. We enjoyed coffee and breakfast each morning poolside. We also traveled to Playa Reinna for surfing and hanging out there( aprox 25 minute drive). We also discovered a jewel at the entrance to the gate, Restaurant El Sol has great food and a spectacular view. We looked forward to chatting with Chef Michael each day discussing menu options (which everything we had was delicious) We wanted to go snorkeling to some of the islands as photos I saw were gorgeous but it was too rainy and murky at the time. We would definitely return and had very fun getaway. Some photos from our trip to the Torio area.

We stayed for 2 nights at Punta Duarte Garden Inn during our scouting trip to Panama and had a quiet, relaxing time with great food and wine. If you are looking for a nice “down time” close to nature while enjoining amazing views with your coffee this is a perfect fit (if you are looking for activities or “action” this is not the place for you). The property is extremely beautiful up on secluded hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean and a short walk to a nice sandy beach with gorgeous rock formations on either side. The room that we stayed was spacious and had a small terrace to enjoy the view of the ocean. The he food was amazing, Gabi is a great host and and an excellent cook (try the tuna). The only drawback is that the access road to the property is in poor shape and needs a vehicle with high ground clearance (a small Suzuki Vitara worked for us). Definitely will be going back.

Una relajante experiencia. Si te gusta la tranquilidad ula naturaleza este lugar es para ti. Atardeceres espectaculares con vista al mar desde la piscina. Habitaciones comodas y grandes. La comida es casera y muy buena. La atención de todos fue unica. Altamente recomendable.

+ schöne Lage mit Pool zum Erfrischen + gutes Bad + einsamer Strand - Nur sehr kleines Frühstück inbegriffen - sehr abgeschieden - sehr langsam im Service Wer abgeschieden sein will und kein Programm braucht, der mag sich hier wohlfühlen. Wir wussten dies und haben uns darauf eingestellt. Der erste Dämpfer war aber das Frühstück...nur Toast, Butter und Marmelade sind inbegriffen. Das finde ich zu wenig für einen solchen Ort. Da möchte man doch einfach auf der Terrasse ausgiebig frühstücken. So muss man für alles Zusätzliche bezahlen. Fanden wir sehr schade. Da könnte man mehr draus machen. Die jungen Mädchen, die im Service helfen, habe ich leider nie lächeln gesehen und die haben öfters die bestellten Dinge falsch gebracht oder erst nach langer Zeit. Ich würde nur für die Lage nicht mehr zurückkommen, sondern mich anderswo umschauen.
