Amazing to see how much love and detail Cari puts in every plate. A common "Nacho" platter all of a sudden becomes a special treat. My family loved the food, even the kids - Imagine- lolMore

Meals are prepared with love and using local products and suppliers. We enjoyed our meals and our kids ate every bite.More

Our group was comprised of 3 couples travelling to all parts of Panama and this was my personal favorite stop on our trip. We were welcomed warmly by Cari and Carlos who was our trail guide, bartender & all around accommodating staff member. I'll add...that the kitchen staff not only provided us with delicious locally-sourced organic fare but were also very friendly and wore genuine smiles. We arrived a little late for our hike to the waterfalls but never felt rushed by Cari. Because April is the hottest month of the year in Panama there wasn't much fall to the falls but the hike was enjoyable. Carlos educated us on various native plants and wildlife and was a patient guide. Upon return to the lush and beautiful eco lodge we were immediately provided with an ice-cold craft beer that was brewed in house. This was a great surprise as we had been limited to Balboa and Panama (the generic beers in the country) up until then. I believe they had 5 or 6 home brews to choose from. Though we only stayed for a short time we were amazed at the cleanliness of the rooms, the amazing beach and surf that was perfect for beginners and the overall sense of pride of ownership by Cari and Ryan. You can tell that this place is special from the time you arrive until the inevitable departure to the next destination. As a group we agreed that when we do return we will spend several more days there. I couldn't recommend this wonderful place more!!More

The open air restaurant at Morrillo Beach Eco Resort is set on the 2nd floor of a two story building and it has amazing views of the estuary and the ocean. There is a nice breeze, but when it is still out, they have well...placed fans that keep the air moving so even when the temperatures are hot it is quite comfortable. It is set amongst the canopy of trees that have monkeys and birds and iguanas all around. The service is top notch, everyone is wearing a smile and is genuinely happy to serve you. The fresh flowers on the tables are a nice touch. Nothing is disposable staying true to the Eco part of this resort. The bar has several different micro brews that are tasty and also had a refreshing and light gluten free beer option which was very satisfying after a nice surf session. It is also well stocked with local beer, wine, and liquors. Bloody Mary's at breakfast were a nice treat! I was rather surprised by the abundance of fresh vegetables and greens that we had during our stay, as this is not typical in Central America. Cari has a beautiful garden on the grounds and works closely with local farmers to provide amazing greens of all kinds and a good variety of fresh tasty vegetables. All of our salads were amazing, and topped with freshly made homemade dressings. Speaking of that, everything we ate was homemade from scratch, from the yogurt to the tortilla chips and everything in between, the mole was especially amazing, and Cari makes homemade hot sauces that have the perfect flavor to heat ratio. I was also utterly impressed with how local all of our meats were, nothing came packaged from a store, everything was from very small local farmers in the area, and the animals are loved and treated well. I have a gluten intolerance, and Cari went out of her way to make special pastries for me at breakfast, and also gluten free bread and tortillas! I noticed that Cari and her team met guests dietary restrictions with ease and it wasn't an inconvenience. The restaurant also has dairy free milk options which is also not common in Central America. We stayed 12 nights at Morrillo and because of the extensive variety of the menu, never got tired of eating there. Everything was so good my husband and I cannot really pick a favorite. I have travelled and stayed at many places throughout Central America, and this restaurant is unparalleled to anything I have experienced.More

The view from the open air restaurant is just as great as the food! From watching the waves on the beach to the howler monkeys playing in the trees it was just the best!!!! The service was incredible and the staff were always happy to...help. Every meal was delicious, from breakfast to dinner, I always walked away with a happy belly! My wife and I always asked each other what out favorite meal was and the answer was always the one we were eating. The food is all local sourced and all the sauces were homemade! I went to surf but stayed for the food!!!!More

Absolutely delicious and healthfully prepared food! Serving locally resourced ingredients, creative recipes and choices. You can taste the love and care put into the dishes!

We loved the healthy and tasteful fresh produce and food overall. The fresh salad was a favorite for all and can recommended. The craft beer on tap was fabulous, as well as others that was on offer. The children especially enjoyed hanging out around the...restaurant.More
