Reviews
Beautiful, peaceful location!
I stayed here during a school trip and all I can say is wow! The location is absolutely stunning! The backyard overlooks a valley, and the views are beautiful. There are tons of beautiful flowers and fruit trees. The air is so clean and fresh! I loved sitting in the hammocks outside and reading. There are several hiking trails located on the property as well. Phil was a great host! He is so knowledgeable about Panama and the local community. If you are looking for a beautiful, quiet location to stay, I would definitely recommend La Joya de Chica!
BEST GET-A-WAY IN PANAMA
We just had our 8th stay at this wonderful Lodge in Chama. This is where my husband and I go to get away from it all and spend time alone. La Chica de Joya is a hidden gem that you need to experience when in Panama. The Lodge has a beautiful pool and manicured gardens. The grounds are eye candy with lots of nature and beautiful fruit trees everywhere. If you enjoy beautiful tropical breezes and being surrounded by exotic flowers and plants you will feel right at home....
A wonderful place to stay!
Our stay at La Joya de Chica was excellent! It was by far our favorite place to visit on our trip to Panama. Phil, the gracious owner, was very accommodating to our family of five (including 3 very active boys.) The property has a great mix of relaxation (i.e the pool and star gazing) as well as activity. You don't have to go far to enter the wild with on-site hiking. Phil was great cook and wonderful host. I would highly recommend staying here!
A wonderful place to get away
Spent a wonderful day at La Joya de Chica Mountain Resort relaxing with friends and just chilling with nature. This is the true "get away" place in Panama. Had a wonderful brunch and chatted with our friends in this beautiful place. Nothing like sitting outside surrounded by the rain forest
A jewel for sure!
La Joya de Chicá is an excellent place to get away from the noise in Panama City. It's surrounded by nature and very quiet, and the rooms are very comfortable. The owner is super friendly, and a great cook! He fixed us a delicious pork chop dinner and some awesome walnut banana pancakes for brunch. We shall be back very very soon. Don't miss out on this great place; it's just one hour away from the city! 🙂
amazing place for food, rest in mountains luxury boutique hotel!!!!!
Everything was 5 star. We enjoyed our stay to the limits. Peaceful environment, beautiful rain forest, waterfalls near by. Adventure or just reading by the pool. Everything is waiting for you! Phil and Tiffany are a great couple and gonna make your stay unforgettable. And just short drive from Panama city.
