Crater Valley Adventure Spa

Frommer's Review

The Crater Valley Adventure Spa is the perfect destination for travelers seeking accommodations, meals, outdoor activities, and spa services all within the same establishment. Kids delight in the hotel's climbing wall, obstacle course, and other activities, and adults enjoy the tranquillity of the campestral surroundings, its spa, and its deliciously refreshing pool -- really the highlight of the Crater Valley. The pool circumference is elegantly landscaped with chipped rock and Grecian pillars, and flanked with lounge chairs and hammocks for some serious relaxation. There are eight contemporary guest rooms, but each is different from the next, and some are darker than others. For the asking price, management could stand to tighten the screws on service and maintenance, repairing niggling details such as chipped tiles and ripped curtains that hang around the massage salon. Also, the hotel charges extra for every activity and amenity -- so know what you're being charged for ahead of time. The hotel's sister operation, Panama Explorer Tours, organizes outdoor activities.
