Hostal Casa de Campo Country Inn & Spa

We found this place by happy accident. We had been in Panamá for literally one hour. Directly after landing at the airport and a short bumpy ride later We were dropped off at the hotel next door to this hostel. To our dismay the hotel was completely closed down even though we had reservations. Feeling helpless and lost, and I have to admit, slightly afraid We happened upon a kind man named Alberto. He is the caretaker of this beautiful establishment. He kindly welcomed us into his beautiful home and guest quarters. There had recently been a large party at the property so many of the rooms were dirty. However he still allowed us to utilize a space on the balcony while we waited. The property features an abundance of wildlife as well as the most awesome sheep and livestock including varieties of chickens and ducks and bunnies. There was a story for every type of animal as to how it ended up there and became part of the family here at Hostel Casa de Campo. Alberto told us many stories of the history of the property and the area. He was a great verbal tour guide explaining the wonderful hikes in the area which we were fortunate to listen to his advice and see the beautiful river. We're so fortunate that we had this happy accident because spending time with Alberto at the propertywas one of the highlights of our entire Panama trip and we visited three other resorts during our stay. they were all beautiful as well however this was something special and unforgettable just because of the amazing service the beautiful location, and the great stories.
