Our stay in Alaya was the perfect getaway from our good Canadian winters. The dome was a beautiful experience and made for a very romantic stay when relaxing under the stars on the suspended net before jumping in our private hot tub. The space was incredibly clean and the staff was always ready to help. The restaurant had a farm to table concept (they have their own permaculture farm on the land) and was beyond our expectations, not to mention the breathtaking view of the valleys and the ocean while you enjoy your meal. Their designated work space allowed us to log in comfortably and reliably connect the few times that we needed to. If your are looking to connect with yourself, your partner or even alongside other humans we highly recommend inquiring about Alaya’s spiritual services as well. A very special treat in a very special part of the country.

We went as a couple to spend our anniversary at Alaya, and it was an awesome stay. We enjoyed every minute of it. The domes were very clean, comfortable, (not even 1 ant inside it really hard to accomplish in Panama). The facilities, restaurant and ammenities were top. Definetely will be back.

Merveilleuse situation,le site est parfait pour un séjour plein de sérénité. J’ai eu la chance de pouvoir obtenir un très agréable massage à la dernière minute. La cuisine du chef est originale,de saison,la qualité des produits locaux est exceptionnelle. Les cocktails maisons sont un régal. Le personnel est au petit soin avec les clients,ce qui offre une détente absolue durant le séjour. Enfin,les chambres/dômes sont exceptionnels,leur situation,surplombant la nature verdoyante est incroyable. La cerise sur le gâteau, mon champagne préféré m’attendait au frigo. Je recommande absolument l’expérience Alaya et n’ai qu’un seul regret,ne pas y être resté plus longtemps. Je reviendrai à coup sûr à Alaya!

Nous avons passez une nuit à Alaya, en couple, lors de notre voyage au Panama, quelle belle surprise! C’est simplement impossible de décrire la beauté du lieu en seulement quelques mots, je dirai simplement que c’est un oasis de paix en pleine nature et en tout confort. Nous avons tellement bien dormis que nous serions volontiers restés plus longtemps si notre organisation nous le permettait. Nous sommes resté dans une des chambres de luxe, super confortable, le niveau d’attention au détail nous a surpris surtout pour un hôtel en pleine savane. Le restaurant est absolument magnifique, j’ai pris les pâtes faites maison et ma compagne le filet de bœuf, absolument succulent. Nous aurions voulu dîner dans la cave à vin mais elle était déjà occupée, belle sélection de vin. La classe de yoga avec la co -fondatrice du projet était simplement géniale, encore plus pour quelqu’un super débutant, ma compagne a profité d’un massage lors de son arrivée et a adoré. Le petit déjeuner était très généreux, nous avons ensuite fait un tour du projet de permaculture intégré à l’hôtel, belle expérience. On a pu ressentir l’ambiance « familiale » et on s’est senti comme à la maison. À recommander à tous les amoureux de la nature, du calme et du confort!

El lugar es lindo. Sin embargo la limpieza y el personal es pésimo, es la primera vez que en un hotel veo cucarachas súper grandes al llegar y luego cuando se le da la información al Gerente del Hotel nos dijeron que “Yo creo que ustedes trajeron las cucarachas en sus maletas desde México” cabe aclarar mi amiga me vino a visitar desde México y yo vivo en Panamá. Según Él señor simplemente estaba bromeando.. Ninguno de nosotros entendimos la broma.
