Manglar Lodge

Two steep stairs to apt like dark hall to rooms, only 3 or 4. Open door and smelled a foul odor. Beds hard and bumpy And pillows the same. Sheets with holes. Air conditioner is loud above your head. Was given a menu for food but no staff until 9am. So no early coffee Only craft beer, Coors and Stella. No panama beer that would be reasonably priced and delicious. The yard looks nothing like the the pictures. The ocean is around the corner, All rocks and black sand some trash. You are advised not to bring your own beer outside in yard to Drink, they would rather you buy their craft beer. No friendly atmosphere of beach feeling. Cats are everywhere wining at night. One cat drank the shower water after I washed my feet it was so thirsty. When I asked for manager, the one girl there said he was off. Booked 5 days stayed one night, no refund or response from manager. But was very friendly when telling you how to book room on there web-sight and pre charging total payment. Lesson Learned. Most places in Panama are not like this.

We love the Lodge, as well as Ivan and Mafe, the owners. We've stayed there three times over the years. The rooms are very comfortable and very clean. We love sitting on the patio downstairs having a meal and/or beverages. We always meet nice, fun travelers staying there and have kept in touch with several. It's a great place. Highly recommend.

Realmente estuve en el restaurante Manglar Lodge Restaurant (Music Food Beer), la noche del viernes y pedimos un Filete de Pechuga a la plancha : delicioso, bien cocido, buen sabor y notablemente productos de calidad tanto en la proteína como en la ensalada. Con una cerveza artesanal muy rica “Palmar”. El sábado tenían noche de Jazz!! Muy bien. Con la especialidad de la noche: Paellas! Pedimos Paella de Mariscos y puedo decir la mejor paella que he probado aún estando fuera de la ciudad. Buena porción, y no escatimaron en representar que fuera de mariscos! Una súper y amable atención del personal como también de María Fernanda (Mafer) e Iván. Totalmente recomendado y regresaremos!
