Summit Rainforest & Golf Resort

My wife and I stayed at Summit and it was absolutely amazing! We came to Panamá on our honeymoon to see the country and all the beautiful views. We stayed in the presidential suite and the scenery was absolutely amazing. Carlos who works at the hotel was bi-lingual and gave us a tour of the entire property and showed us the animals and everything the hotel has to offer. The staff was really friendly and had good restaurant recommendations and the hotel restaurant was so good to eat at. There are nightly activities and tours happening throughout the day at the resort. My wife and I will definitely be back and look forward to being members of the resort in the future!

This hotel is lovely great value for money. Rooms are spacious, and amenities are great. The tours are fantastic. My only criticism is that they should offer free shuttles to their guests to the city centre. The hotel is located around 30 mins away and taxi costs $30 each way to & from the city centre where all the bars & restaurants are. I felt safe as a female solo traveller, and staff were helpful

I was very pleased with my 3-night stay at the Summit Rainforest and Golf Resort. My daughter and I arrived mid-week and the resort was quiet and easy to navigate. Staff members were all very friendly and went out of their way to be accommodating and helpful. The room was slightly dated but comfortable and clean with good air-conditioning and reliably fast WIFI and had a beautiful jungle view. The breakfast buffet was small but complete, and the food was good enough. The restaurant was reasonably priced for a golf club/resort and had a fair mix of items to choose from.

The hotel rates itself as a 4-star resort, but do not expect to be staying in super high-end luxury. There were some imperfections like the sliding balcony door was difficult to open (the runners needed cleaning), there was some rust visible on the balcony railings, the pools needed a bit of maintenance (there was a lot of pollen falling into them causing them to be a bit cloudy on our first night, although they were cleaned before the weekend), and the food is by no means mind blowing but completely acceptable. What you do get is great service, options for lots of daytrips offered at reasonable prices (I didn’t take any of them, but they were clearly listed in the lobby), a free hour long walking tour of the outdoor areas including a small sloth rehab center, frog sanctuary and butterfly garden with a knowledgeable nature guide, an infinity pool and kids pool with full-service poolside food/drinks, and the option to play golf on a well maintained course. The resort felt very safe and secure so that we were comfortable walking the beautiful grounds into the evening. There was a wedding on Friday evening, but other than the lobby being partially closed that night, I did not find it caused us any inconvenience and I could not hear the afterparty in my room.

For about $80 per night, I was very satisfied with the value for money I received from this hotel and would happily stay here again.

After travelling beautiful Panama, my wife and I spent our last night here. Although the hotel and its rooms could need some renovation, it is still a nice place. Absolute highlight is, that the hotel offers a guided 3hours tour through the rainforest for free. That was an absolute unforgettable memory. Also the hotel has a sloth rescue station and a butterfly farm u can visit for free. Great stay :)

Amazing hotel, with such an incredible value! We only stayed for one night, and wish we had stayed longer to fully take advantage of all the hotel had to offer. The breakfast buffet was delicious, with so much variety - breads, cakes, hot foods, fruits!

The best perk of all was they had free tours for guests of the hotel at their sloth rehabilitation center and a two hour guided trek through the jungle. We did both and were so happy with it! Our guide Sergio was very knowledgeable and kind.

We definitely recommend this hotel.

Was a Passday due to a work activity, so I'm not able to qualify the rooms. But the service and location were both fantastic, the food not so much and I hope the get better.

If you visit Panamá you might get prepared for the humidity, rain, sun !

5 stars because I’m very kind.

We came to explore nature and the sloth. A slow moving creature which opens its bowels once a week. What we got were packs of fast moving children, shepherded by huge mothers.

Plenty to like, but not the food or the white wine or the lobby carpet by the lift which was a victim of a war. The plastic breakfast cutlery : ouch.

Staff doing their best, but in the end guest fatigue gets to you.

Took a grand free garden nature tour with a relative of Crocodile Dundee. Butterflies excellent.

And the brides, my goodness loads of them. A weight watcher’s paradise.

Safe broken. The lift perfectly confusing. Prices fair.

Enjoy.

I really enjoyed the time here. Excellent attention.

My husband and I stayed here two years ago and are going back this year.
Talk about a hidden gem. Stay in the presidential suite. It's the size of two hotel rooms and the views are incredible. The hikes through the jungle were great and the wildlife is like no other place. We love this place. Don;t forget to do the monkey tour. Worth every penny.

We loved the resort! We were so relaxed and the staff was very friendly. Our room had a great view and the tours were great. Food can be improved but I believe it's a Panamá thing.
Would definitely book again.

The hotel was amazing I do suggest it the rooms are incredible, the pools were extremely fun and relaxing, and the breakfast tasted amazing! I rate the hotel a 10 out of 10.

I stay here with 3 other gentlemen in the context of a birdwatching visit to Panama. Though the birdwatching on the premises is ok, this place is conveniently located to many other better spots very nearby. I is a good base to visits birding sites along the canal. The room was more than adequate and food was excellent. I will use the place in the future.

The location of the hotel was great for viewing nature. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially Sergio, who was our guide on a rainforest walk and led a tour of the butterfly and frog centres (these tours were free!). We were able to check-in early which I really appreciated. The pool area and grounds were lovely and the room was comfortable with great beds.

Great experience here! Beautiful yard and yummy drinks & food at their restaurant. Pools looked nice too. Staff was pleasant. BTW- On the 8th floor you can look out the window and get a SWEET picturesque view of the city Panama. We saw monkeys and colorful birds on the hotels wood platform near the woods eating fruits.

Great price for great accommodations. We didn’t even realize that we would get a free bottle of wine and 15% discount at the restaurant with our stay. Free parking and very friendly workers. We left behind some stuff and they kept it for us to pick up when we are back in the area. I would love to stay here again and be able to enjoy the resort more in the future. They are night jungle tour is also very reasonably priced at only $20.

Thanks to the hotel for helping to organize a conference for 90 people. The service was very high quality and fast, and most importantly, all the guests were very satisfied, even the most fastidious. You are professionals, thank you very much!!

Perfect place.
Staff was so nice the whole time.
Reception was very helpful.
The food was so good. We had no issue or complain at all.
Very relaxing place and the All Inclusive values every cent you paid for.

Very nice modern hotel where we stayed only one night during our road trip around Panama. Hotel offers free eco-tour with guide, which is great opportunity to get to know more about panamanian nature and animals. Guide was great, very friendly and showed us sloths, frogs, butterflies, many different trees. This education about nature is very important and I'm happy to see how it is done here. On the other hand, during breakfast there were plastic cups for juice and coffee together with ceramic ones. I really dont get why to use plastic cups - I know, it is easy for cleaning, but it's not sustainable and good for nature! If you are trying to educate people about nature, you should also try to teach them how to avoid unnecessary waste from plastics. Try to think about it, you can make a difference.

Great place to relax. A little outdated, but nice rooms, good service and a nice restaurant/bar. Prices are very fair. Nice area with great nature, interesting guided tours and the chance to play some golf on the huge 18-hole area.

Amazing hotel! One of the most beautiful hotels I have ever been in. The view was stunning and the breakfast was fantastic! The staff were so sweet and kind (taught us Spanish and vice versa with English). The tour guide was super helpful and could answer our many questions with a great deal of patience. Overall this was by far one of the best hotels I have stayed in. I wish I booked for a longer period of time here, as the hotel that we stayed at after in panama city couldn’t compare.
