The accommodations that we had a Mateo's were plain but spacious. We had a nice cross breeze, so sleeping was comfortable without air conditioning. Our hosts were very helpful. Two of our party could speak Spanish, so communication was not a problem. Mateo's grandson, Carlos, was also around and he can speak English. We were in Panama for a birdwatching... More
