Rio Hato Hotel Guide - Farallón Beach hotels in Rio Hato, Panama.

"Great resort with fantastic activities! The beach was beautiful with plenty of loungers around both the beach area and pools. Nice rooms and friendly staff. "

"We booked a one-bedroom suite, which was very spacious and great for traveling with kids. The location is beautiful—right by the Pacific Ocean—with a nice beach and multiple pools, including kid-friendly ones. However, the experience was inconsistent. Breakfast was okay and service there was attentive, but we had major delays in food service twice (waiting nearly an hour), including at the Japanese restaurant. More concerning was a serious food safety issue. My wife has a severe shellfish allergy, which we clearly communicated when ordering. Despite this, she had an immediate allergic reaction after a few bites and we had to rush back to the room for medication. Completely unacceptable. Communication was also difficult, as many staff members did not speak or understand English well. When I reported the allergy incident, the manager only apologized, there was no follow-up, and no one even asked about our stay at check-out. Overall, great location and family-friendly setup, but service, communication, and safety fall short. Not a luxury experience."

"The place is just as described, nut the best part to me is the place has everything you need and want! Comfortable beds, a well equipped kitchen and the best owner I have ever had dealings with. He answered all our questions and provided invaluable information about the area and resort. Highly recommend "

" Bathroom sink was completely rusted, both faucets were absolutely disgusting and leaking every time we turned them on. They gave us a difficult time just to simply get shower towels. Everyday 2 days our room keys stop working and I would have to go to get them reprogrammed. On the last day they would not even give us shower towels because it was the last day. The entire resort smelt like sewage. In order to book 1 of only 3 restaurants there we had to wait in long for 2 hours in order to book which took 10 seconds. Absolutely horrible, money back should be in order "

"Overall our stay was great. The property is quiet and the location does require a car. There was a small problem with the AC but the property management were extremely prompt in replying and resolving the issue. The beach is swimmable but there are strong tides and currents however there is a pool to swim in. "

"Guys, please don't stay there, it was the worst hotel I've stayed at in my life. It took me 4 hours to get there from the airport, when my friend and I arrived at the hotel, the room was dirty, stain on the sheets, and the bathroom was a mess. Although the staff was very sweet, and they changed my room, I didn't have a good time during my stay, the hotel falsely advertises itself as a luxurious resort, however, it is not that!!!"

"excellent breakfast every day and varied menu. nice room, had a a fridge and coffee maker, sitting area and very clean pool. walkable to beach and few restaurants - beach was very nice. "
