Lodge
The Reel Inn in Panama Lodge is located less than one hour from David City, Panama. Reel Inn is still in the planning stages with construction beginning on the property soon. The main building will be an open-air octagonal restaurant, and bar (known as Rancho in Panama), with between 10 and 40 Bungalows located on a beautiful hillside just outside of the fishing village of Boca Chica. Also in the plans are a swimming pool (with a swim up bar of course), a spa, and a large dock to accommodate the boats required to offer the many activities available at Reel Inn.
The Rancho will be approximately 360 sq. meters (3000 sq. feet) with a panoramic view of the barrier Islands south of David City, directly on the Pacific Ocean. We anticipate that there will NEVER be any man made lights visible from our property. While the restaurant will be open to the public, the main purpose is to accommodate our guests while staying at Reel Inn. The bar area will also have a spectacular view, and a very open-air feel about it. There will be large televisions available for viewing fishing and eco activity videos. If you hope to watch your favorite television shows, CNN, or financial channels, Reel Inn may not be the place for your adventure. While we are not “cut off” from the outside world, our goal is for our guests to get that feeling. Wireless service will be available however.
The plans for the swimming pool will include two levels with a waterfall/water slide connecting the two pools. The larger lower pool will have an area that will “swim up” to the outside of the bar area of the rancho. This “swim up” area will have underwater stools to sit on, while enjoying your favorite beverage, under the over hang of the rancho roof. Down a short path from the pool there will be a spa that will include a work out area, steam room, and totally private massage room with the same spectacular view as the rancho. Can It Get Any Better Than That? We feel that after a day of pulling on marlin and other large game fish, a massage may be REQUIRED!
Our Bungalows will be of a single and a double story octagonal design. There will be air conditioned one, and two bedroom units available, with inside living rooms and large wrap around decks on all units. These Bungalows can be connected so that we can accommodate large groups, or just single parties, all with the privacy of Bungalows. While it is true we could accommodate more people in a motel type design we feel that the private feel of individual buildings is more appealing to our guests.
