Morrillo Beach Eco Resort

I love the sustainable approach Cari and Ryan have taken to every aspect of their endeavor

The wifi signal in the rooms was weak

Morrillo Beach Eco Resort is such an outstanding Place! In every Detail you feel the Soul of Cari & Ryan and they both do all they can to make your stay an amazing experience. We love the unique location, situated Directly at the river, the ocean and in the jungle. The beaches are amazing - Most of the time we had them for our own. Right in Front the eco Resort is the river where you can visit the magical mangroves by SUP or Kayak. We loved the authentic food (there is not a big Choice, but remember where you are and what‘s the intent oft an eco resort :-) ). Everything is freshly cooked and tastes so good! Directly on the Resort area lives a troop of howler Monkeys which are so cool to observe while your stay because it‘s Not such a Kind of Zoo but Their Natural habitat. Make sure to read Cari‘s Blog on the Website, which is very informative - you won‘t need a Travel Guide any more ;-). All in all it was an amazing stay on a stunning Place with heartwarming Hosts. Thank you a lot Cari & Ryan!

Sad, that we couldn‘t stay longer because of our next destinations. ;-)

Suggest they offer more variety at breakfast like omelets.

Guests need to know ahead of time that the menu is fixed and that the food is predominantly vegetarian. People like choices.

My wife and I make it a point to look for unique and eco-friendly places to visit that are off the beaten path, and Morrillo Bay definitely satisfied our criteria. This property is a labor of love and the care that the owners put into it is evident from the moment you arrive. We stayed only for three nights but we made friendships with both the hosts and the other guests that might just last a lifetime. Add the welcoming ambience to the incredible location and great food and amazing wildlife and birds (not to mention the views and the surf), and you’ll get a truly memorable experience. As an added bonus, we even had a nice little rumbling Panamanian earthquake one evening for no extra fee! As to the details, the guest rooms are spacious and quiet and comfortable with big glass doors and balconies that look into the forest (don’t be surprised to see iguanas and toucans and howler monkeys just a few feet away in the branches). The bar/eating area has a spectacular view of the wide beach and the cove, and there’s all-day service for cold drinks, plus meals (make reservations for dinner). Hosts Cari and Ryan can set up all sorts of activities and excursions from surf lessons to snorkeling to kayaking and hiking, or, like us, you can just relax in one spot and take in the ever-changing wildlife and tropical birds. We absolutely loved our stay and will be back!

Very unique remote resort with lots of fun adventures. Cari and Ryan were great hosts.

The resort was not too big.

- the noisy air conditioners, we could not sleep - the breakfast, the worst in Panama - the dinner, no choice, overpriced - drinks prices too high, like in New York - scruffy carpets in the room - not really an ECO resort - Beach only accessible by swimming or wading
