"Owner was a super kind guy.
Room was small, dirty and full of bugs. Felt very over priced. Restaurant had good food, hard to communicate as no staff speaks english but its understandable!
No shuttle or way to transport into town. We had to hitch hike and we ended up leaving early cause it was so inconveniently located.
Place has lots of potential. Could be a super rad get away/ party place with some love. "
"This property didn't have great reviews, and the photos didn't do it justice, this exceeded our expectations! the restaurant was excellent staff were friendly, and the layout makes for lots of private nooks to eat and hang out in. Great location, you can walk down to the beach and river."

"I cannot recommend this property highly enough! It's a secluded retreat nestled in the jungle, just steps away from what felt like our own private beach. We stayed in the air-conditioned couple's suite, featuring a cozy queen bed, a modern and fully stocked kitchen, and a bathroom with a spacious vanity and shower. The suite also has a small patio near the front door, equipped with two loungers and a brand-new gas BBQ—perfect for grilling evening meals. (Tip: Make sure to stock up on groceries in San Antonio or Mariato, as Torio does not have a market.)
For a small fee, we enjoyed breakfast each morning with our wonderful hosts, Lyne and Michael Heim. These meals often turned into lively conversations that felt like solving the world's problems—we genuinely consider them great friends now. Although we only stayed for three days, we wished we had known how exceptional their place is, as we would have loved a longer stay. Make sure to message the hosts prior to arrival, as I forgot, and their location can be tricky to find."
A verified traveller stayed at Beachfront Nature Rentals, Couple's Suite
"First and foremost, this rental location is remote - BUT our host Asta provided us with very detailed directions from where we were coming from and followed up with us to make sure we arrived safely. The pictures of this property do not do it justice . . . everything is SO MUCH nicer and prettier! Asta also checked in with us to see how we were doing a day after we arrived and if we needed anything. We thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet of this location - the patio and pool area is amazing! We spent all our time outdoors. We loved using the patio grill and all the kitchen appliances. We only left the property 2 times during our 10 day stay to get more provisions and to go to local restaurants to eat. This is one of the best VRBOs - and host - that we've ever experienced! "
A verified traveller from Three Lakes WI stayed at Susan Fish Camp in Playa Morrillo, Veraguas
"The online 1-star rating is not really justified. Although basic, this place is worth the $55 fee. The Hotels.com experience is to be avoided, they overcharged on the rate. The room was basic, the bed below average, but seeing the many species and number of sea birds in the early morning is a treat. The dirt driveway to the site is a biet of a pain."
