My husband and I needed an easy change of environment so we drove an hour outside of Panama City for different temperatures and nature. Got that in spades. Cooler, gorgeous birds and flowers, really clean, delicious food - fresh and tasty to include hot cookies from the oven....timing was great. Super fun getaway.....gets high recommendations from us.

We had a wonderful three days here with fabulous food and very pleasant surroundings. Our room was spacious although a dresser/desk and chair would have been nice. Picasso is an excellent cook and all of our meals were scrumptous

I am a three-peat customer! I just spent 10 days at the Ginger House and once again, Picasso outdid herself with her wonderful hospitality, great food, great birding, lovely home! The Ginger House is a perfect location for birding, hiking or just relaxing in a hammock, feeding the monkeys, enjoying the serenity. Thanks, Picasso!

We stayed at Ginger House for several days in May, 2012. I really appreciate the effort that Picaso made in providing us with low carb meals, which are necessary for my health. Providing high quality meals is very important to her, and she excelled at providing us with the specialized diet I needed. And of course the birding is fantastic,... More

We stayed with Picasso while on a bird watching trip. Picasso is a terrific host and prepares delicious and healthy meals. Her baking abilities are beyond compare. We had an active schedule with the Audubon Society and Picasso was most accommodating. Our room was comfortable and the location offered bird and monkey watching with the enticement of feeders.

My first stay was too short-this time I stayed 10 days and was treated like a queen! Whether you want a stopping off point near the airport before seeing the rest of the country (much preferable to the Riande airport hotel), or you want to enjoy the birding, monkeys, hiking, rivers, perfect weather, privacy and fresh air, or just want...

Picaso, the hardest working lady on the Cerro! She is a pure delight, and an excellent chef! By chance, we had the good fortune to stay in the "Luck" suite, and we believe it set the tone for the rest of our Panamanian adventure. Cerro Azul is a must stop to see a different Panama, and it is so close... More

I fully agree with all the reviewers - lovely house, great location (1/2 hour drive from Tocumen airport but you do need a car), good food. Birding was a bit quiet but it was rather windy. Enjoyed the hummingbird feeders.
