Hotel El Sol Morrillo - I could never have imagined a place of such beauty, exquisite views, and the most endearing host ever. We've stayed at many places, but after reading about and booking the El Sol I had hopes for a different experience... not just another hotel stay. It was just what the doctor ordered, and so much more. The estate and views are mesmerizing. Like going back in time on the California coast or Hawaii before it was over developed. When you arrive, you realize you've reached paradise. The coast faces west, so the sunsets are spectacular. The ride from Santiago to Morrillo is full of beautiful views, farms, villages and mountains. The newly paved road makes the travel easy and fast. If your adventurous there are nearby pristine beaches you can walk or drive to with soft sand and clear waters and waves to swim and rocks to climb and explore. There's also a lovely walk along a stream near Torio where you'll come to a beautiful waterfall and great place to swim. Mike will be more than happy to give you directions. We had a car, but it is possible by bus connection in Santiago for service that can drop you at the hotel. When you return you can take a swim in the wonderful clean pool, sit out on the deck, or enjoy your comfortable room and beds with tiled shower and deck with stunning views. As for the personality of your host Mike and his second to none culinary ability, it just doesn't get any better! Not only does he make you feel at home and give you his attention, but he will prepare the most delicious meals to your liking using the vegetables, herbs, and eggs from his farm and high quality fish and meats. I ordered and he prepared Massaman beef curry with rice that was out of this world. We had ramen with his homemade noodles that was divine. The breakfasts, homemade bread, chicken wings, homemade sauces and spices, salads... We just weren't there long enough to try it all. We did have his Chinese New Years menu special upon arrival with appetizers, beef, chicken, noodle dishes & soup that was so delicious. Whatever local or international meal you like, Mike can prepare it. Check out his menus. Mike takes the time to prepare everything he cooks to perfection. He can also make suggestions and has a nice selection of wine and drinks to choose from. Even the pure drinking groundwater is so delicious. Lodging and meals are well priced. Best of all you're right at home and don't have to go anywhere after finishing a delicious meal and drinks. Thank you Mike and staff including Matilda for your hard work and excellent service. It was the best part of our first two week trip to Panama and we also met such nice other people at the hotel. So bon appetit and come to Paradise. Hope you find this unique opportunity as wonderful an experience as we did.
