    A place like no other...
    Our visit to Morillo Beach Eco Resort began with a conversation. Friends who’d recently been there spoke of it with such enthusiasm that I knew I wanted to go. I’d never been to Panama, and in fact, it had never even been on my radar. I contacted Cari, and over the course of our communications was consistently impressed by her quick and thoughtful responses. My husband and I chose the 10 day package because every detail, including hotel and shuttle arrangements, from the moment we arrived in Panama until the time we left, was handled in a way that eased any concerns I had about being in an unfamiliar part of the world for the first time. Cari patiently answered dozens of questions over the next several months, and as she helped me to navigate their website, I realized that it provided all the information we needed to be prepared for a great adventure. Her blogs piqued my interest even further, and now, in retrospect, I truly appreciate the way they “primed” me for a rich and intimate experience. From the moment we arrived, Cari and Ryan welcomed us into their home and made us feel like family. The buildings, rooms and common areas are beautifully designed- spacious, artful, simple yet elegant. Whether I was in the mood for privacy, or hanging out with other guests (who quickly became friends) any place I chose provided immediate access to the jungle that surrounds. Thanks to Cari and Ryan’s guidelines, we learned how to behave as respectful guests in the home of the many varied creatures who live there, and were rewarded by their allowing us to observe them up close: the howler monkeys with their haunting calls, iguanas, butterflies, and birds of all colors, sizes and songs. The jungle teemed with plants I’d only seen in a botanical garden if at all, and everywhere there was fragrance and color: orchids, bougainvillea, torch ginger, bromeliads. The location is perfect: down steps to an estuary and mangroves, a long sandy beach, and an ocean with gentle waves for swimming and surfing, warm enough to play in for hours. That would have been enough, would have exceeded my expectations, but there was even more. We chose seven different adventures: releasing just-hatched turtles, surfing, hiking, swimming in waterfall pools, snorkeling, visiting a local soapmaking business, and spending a day with a Panamanian family high in the mountains on land they’d cleared from the jungle 70 years ago. Each activity was superb, and brought fresh understanding and connection to the Panamanian people and environment, both past and present. The quality and presentation of the food was equal to the rest of it, and that’s saying a LOT! Every meal was homemade and prepared with fresh, local fruits, vegetables, fish and meat. Much of the produce came from the organic garden. Cari is an artist in the kitchen- although many dishes have a clear Mexican theme- tacos, burritos, enchiladas- Cari’s well versed with other cuisines, including Thai, Carribean and Panamanian- there was a lot of fusion going on. I enjoyed new flavors and delicious variations on familiar favorites like pizza and pasta as well as delicious salads. I rarely eat dessert, but I ate Limon Cream Pie everyday. Cari and Ryan and their staff are highly skilled and professional, warm and engaging. Whether leading a hike, coaching a hope-to-be surfer, or stopping by during a meal time for casual conversation, everyone goes go above and beyond to meet the needs of guests in order to ensure maximum enjoyment, all the while maintaining a relaxed and easy presence. Cari and Ryan are gifted storytellers, teachers and hosts, eager to share their knowledge without being pushy or preachy. They care deeply for this extraordinary place and their commitment to restoring and preserving its integrity is exciting and inspiring. I’ve come away with far more than I ever imagined. We’re already planning our next visit.
    OH WOW! This is going to be one of those kinds of reviews that we look back on and read for years to come. I cannot believe how much effort you put into this. It warms our hearts to read every word, feel the joy you experienced while here, the love you felt and now feel for our place, our team, us, and all the nature that surrounds us. My response just cannot do your review justice and I don't think it should. This stands on its own as a great short story that many will enjoy reading and inspire them to come stay with us to experience the magic of this special place in the world so that it can live on and become even better for the years to come. It feels so great to hear how much you enjoyed our foods (I have never been called an artist but I love that), the elegant simplicity of the rooms, buildings, and common space, and most importantly the trees, animals, birds, and the ease of access to the beach and surf out front. To top it all off your genuine appreciation of the local culture, the intimacy of our resort which encourages interactions with guests from all over the world, and the ease of travel with our all inclusive package is so appreciated by us, our team, and the families that were involved to share their world with you and your family. Thank you with all our hearts for writing this review. Your Friends Always in Morrillo, Cari, Ryan, Princessa, Tila, our entire team, and the monkeys too!

    Simply amazing!
    We spent two nights at the eco lodge and wished we could have stayed longer. Like forever. It seemed like everyone we met told us about Cari and Ryan; their hospitality, focus on supporting the community and sustainability and amazing location. We immediately fell in love and booked a short stay before we left Panama. This is a magical place. We appreciated the quietness, being surrounded by lush vegetation and an abundance of wildlife. Our room was beautiful, huge with a king sized bed (hard to come by) and a gorgeous balcony. There has been much attention to detail in all aspects of this lodge. Cari and Ryan are fabulous people. Their passion and commitment to their clients, community and stewardship of the animals and land Is remarkable. There is a troop of howler monkeys easily seen in the forest around the resort. Cari is very respectful of these amazing creatures ensuring there is little human interaction or influence on their lives. The awe of watching these monkeys with others in silence was very powerful. The food and drink rival all other enjoyable aspects to this experience. They offer beer on tap which is not something we’d seen anywhere else and Ryan’s mango/pineapple hard cider is delicious. The food prepared by Cari was divine; fresh, organic and locally sourced. We had a beautiful mahi-mahi steak one evening and fabulous tacos the next. The location feels so private. The beach is one which swimming, surfing and just playing around is safe. We loved it and plan on returning.
    Dearest Kitty, How amazing is this review!! I didn't even have to pay you to say all these kind words about our location; the beauty of the jungle, it's even more beautiful inhabitants, the safety of the location for swimming and surf, ooh and the tasty beers, cider, and fresh food! We are beyond thrilled to hear how much you loved your experience and we too feel so fortunate to have met you both, and shared a short time getting to know you both and your sparkling smiles. We very much look forward to the day you return again and hopefully for a longer stay. Your Friends Always here in Morrillo, Cari, Ryan, Remo and especially TILA!! Tila very much misses you and wants you to come back asap...

    Unique eco lodge, nestled on a hill next to mangroves & two beautiful bays
    Morrillo Beach Eco resort is hand built by the owners and overlooks two wide, sweeping sandy beaches. For surfers this is paradise and for eco tourists the howler monkeys are never too far. One sandy beach provides sets of nursery waves and the next is for the Pro's. For food lovers most of the ingredients are local. The pork, beef and chicken are from a local farm. The veggies, herbs and fruit are also grown around the corner. And the fish is fresh! Rooms are spacious with hot & cold running water, big balconies & great views over the lagoon and bays. I would happily return.
    We would happily welcome you back too!! This is such a sweet review and I love the descriptions you included so that others can come and enjoy the magic of this place. We are so happy to hear you enjoyed everything from the monkeys, to the surf and all that lies between. We very much enjoyed hosting you here and look forward to your return some day soon. Your Friends in Morrillo, Cari, Ryan, Remo, and Tila!

Just a gem of a getaway. Perfect for the 2 of us to celebrate our 8th anniversary. We felt like we were living in the tree tops. With wildlife visiting our terrace. The beach’s are phenomenal, only to be outdone by the courteous staff and enthusiasm that Cari provided to our wonderful experience. Can’t wait to recommend to friends. The second floor guest rooms are the absolute best.

Dear J2, Could you two be any sweeter!?! I am so thankful you decided to stay with us to celebrate your 8th anniversary but lives together since being in 8th grade I believe? Or was it 8 years old? Either way, you were obviously meant to be together and your love for each other is inspiring. Thank you for letting me dine with you every night as you shared with me all your crazy adventure stories with me. I'm very impressed. Thank you for all the amazing photos as well. Oh, and THANK YOU for the high score, awesome recommendation, and kind words about our team. We look forward to hosting you here again some day and will definitely take great care of your friends.

Simplest of rooms set in smooth stone, hues of Aztec earthen pottery, tones of vermilion cliffs and bright ocean sunsets. One feels as if they were in the trees and at times if lucky the Howler monkeys run and tap loudly on the roof top, as if dancing to a long forgotten rhythm fading across the savannahs. .

I only spent one night here, but I had such a great experience overall. The property is home to beautifully-decorated rooms, an incredible dining program with locally-sourced meat and produce, and quick beach access, but the highlight for me was their devotion to preserving the local biodiversity. The lodge is home to a wild troop of critically-endangered Azuero howler monkeys, and it was so great to watch these animals interact and know that they have a safe refuge here. And as an added bonus, there's a local company that offers late-night expeditions to the beach in search of sea turtle nests, so you can gain insight into how locals are protecting the native turtles. If you're a nature lover that's planning a trip to the Azuero Peninsula, I highly recommend spending a few nights here.

Where do I begin? When we arrived at the resort we were met by Cari, one the owners, who greeted us with welcoming hugs. The food was amazing and we never went hungry. The rooms were kept cool the entire ten days of our stay. The staff was always making sure our needs were met. Ryan, the other owner, was an incredible host as well. The howling monkeys and other wildlife is like nowhere else on the planet. This is a resort BUT Ryan and Cari make you feel like it’s home and you are family. I HIGHLY recommend this resort for a one of a kind experience. It will be an experience I will never forget and I will be back ASAP.

This place feels like staying with friends, lovely people with a great heart for animals, nature and people. The rooms are spacious and have a nice balcony from where you can spot the local monkeys, birds and other wildlife. We joined the snorkeling tour and kayak trip and spotted dolphins and whales. Great connection with the local turtle centre next-door. Surfing is great in the Morrillo bay and boards can be rented per day. They support the local community which makes up for the relatively high markups in pricing.

We were lucky enough to spend five nights at Morrillo Beach Eco Resort and it was amazing. The staff is incredible, the food is delicious, and the location can't be beat. We surfed every day, paddled stand ups in the calm lagoon, hiked to blowholes and tidepools, and enjoyed birdwatching and howler monkey watching from the balconies of our rooms. And if you are a beginner or intermediate surfer, Beginner Beach is the place for you. You can stay near shore and enjoy long beginners rides over a sandy ocean bottom, or you can paddle out to larger waves and work on catching them before they break. As surfers, we are a beginner and intermediate group and it was the best place we have surfed. They have quality equipment and great instruction. And as much as we did, we didn't even do a quarter of the activities they offer. You can go on waterfall hikes, snorkeling trips, visit local families, and more. We really hope we can return and stay even longer next time so we can enjoy more of what Morrillo Beach Eco Resort has to offer. The combination of amazing staff, delicious food, and beautiful location can't be beat.
