Fodor's Expert Review Tinamou Cottage
Jaramillo Abajo, Chiriquí, Panama
Although lacking the amenities of a full-service hotel, each cottage is privately situated in a dense forest where monkeys, sloths, and plenty of birds can be found. Within the 25-acre property are horses, creeks, trails, waterfalls, and a small coffee farm. Charming two-bedroom cottages have a living room and kitchen and are decorated with colonial-style furniture including rocking chairs and four-poster beds with European duvets; the studio cottage is smaller and similarly decorated. Hardwood floors and exposed-beam ceilings show craftsmanship in design. Breakfast is delivered to the cottages, where guests can admire the ocean view from a private terrace.
