This place is awesome, everything I was hoping for. It was beautiful, and quaint so it felt like we owned the place. Service was great, Mia took care of us. We stayed there post-Carnival so it was the perfect way to wind down after all the crazy partying and late nights. Food was wonderful. We did a boat tour and it was a blast. I felt bad for the bigger group boats from the bigger hotels. It’s been two months since we’ve been home.. my son randomly says: “when are we going back to Monkey Lodge, I WANNA LIVE THERE”

We had a very enjoyable time at the Monkey Lodge. Our primary interest was in birding and wildlife, so the Lodge was very convenient to the Canopy Tower, Semaphore Hill, and Pipeline Rd (all desired birding destinations). The cabin was comfortable, spacious, and clean, and the A/C worked perfectly. The food was delicious; the pool was clean and at the perfect temperature after a hot day in the sun. There is a convenient supermarket less than 1 km from the Lodge for essentials. Thanks for a great, and relaxing, stay!

The Monkey Lodge was a great place to relax and take in a few excursions! Mia was very professional and friendly , taking care of booking our 2 excursions. Both the Village/Waterfall and Gatun Lake were excellent, definitely worth seeing. The lodge is peaceful with lots of little outdoor areas too choose from and well maintained gardens ! The breakfast was good, fresh fruit, pancakes, toast and omelette. Our stay was 3 days so a variety in the breakfast menu would have been appreciated. The evening meal was also very good, great variety but not enough on the plates. We only gave a rating of 3 as the rooms were not as what the photos show, at least not the Papaye. Just to say that the Papaye cabin, in our opinion, would have needed a complete renovation on the inside. …

Monkey lodge was the best part of our trip to Panama. The hospitality was amazing and the food was phenomenal. We wish we could have stayed longer. My kids fell in love with Mia and she truly went above and beyond to make our experience a memorable one. We felt like we were at our home away from home. I’m certain we will visit again.

Wonderful. Loved it! Great excursions, great food, happy dogs, helpful staff, beautiful setting. I wish we could have stayed longer. Yes, the minor complaints I've see are true...hot water is hard to get. BUT you're in the tropics and the shower water gets tepid. Good enough in my book. The beds are not the most comfortable but I have slept on WAY more un comfortable beds. This isn't the 4 seasons. It's a lodge and the only reason you should be in your room is to sleep....otherwise get out and about! Panama is beautiful!

We spent 15 days in Panama and our stay at the Monkey Lodge was easily the best part. Since it’s family run and only a few rooms, it has a very quaint feel and we felt really taken care of. My daughter loved the pool on site and the very friendly dogs as well. I really enjoyed the coconut mango chicken fingers they had, my wife really liked the chocolate pancakes for breakfast. We did three tours with Max and they were all great. We went to Monkey Island, Pirate Island, and to see a local indigenous group. At Monkey Island, several monkeys actually came on our boat and ate grapes. The Pirate Island tour had 2 stops at picturesque islands, and for the tour involving the indigenous people, we got to eat in their kitchen as well as dance with them. Max has ten years experience leading tours and it shows. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his job. Mia was very friendly and attentive whenever we needed anything. She even gave us free drinks to celebrate after the World Cup final. The accommodations are a bit modest, but totally recommend here. What a great experience for us.…

Just came back from a 6 day visit to Panama with my family (wife, 18 yo son and 16 yo daughter). We spent our first 3 nights at the Monkey Lodge and really enjoyed ourselves. The visited started with Mr. Francisco picking us up at the airport. He is super nice and stopped at a grocery store for us on the way to the hotel. We then enjoyed three relaxing days on the beautiful property. The grounds are gorgeous- lush with all sorts of tropical plants and some extremely sweet dogs (including Aria, who will play fetch or tug of war all day long with you). On our first full day, the wonderful Mia took us on a jungle adventure- including a longboat ride down the river Chagres, a swim in the river, short hike to the waterfall and a visit to an Embera village. My son described this day as the best of the trip. On our second day, Max took us on a fun boat ride to visit the monkeys of Gatun Lake. The evening excursion ended with a beautiful sunset and great weather. The whole trip we enjoyed the fine cuisine of the French owners. There is a relatively small menu, but always some evening special (I say small, but the hotel only has four casitas, so how big should it really be?). The lasagna was delicious. And of course, getting to see the resident monkeys is always a treat.…

We had a wonderful stay at Monkey Lodge. We did two private tours, both with Mia as our guide. The hosts and Mia made every effort to give us our own personal experience. We loved our cabin, the dogs and lovely breakfast and home cooked dinner at their smale scaled lodge.
