A Gem in the Cloudforest
Settled in the mountains of Panama, La Qhia offers you a variety of experiences of your liking. For this part of the world, the accommodations would be considered upscale with the availability of hot water, a comfortable clean room, a restaurant on the premises, and a bar. You are very close to town and the staff are excellent. Highly recommend!

A gem in the highlands
I stayed at La Quia four nights at the end of April 2024. The lodging is rustic and comfortable with a good breakfast included at very reasonable rates. The owners, David and Cindy, were very friendly and pleasant to speak with. I was able to do some of the many activities in the Santa Fe area each day I was there from jungle hiking to visiting waterfalls and horseback riding. All was arranged by La Qhia's manager, Reynaldo, who did a fantastic job setting up all the logistics. If you're going to Santa Fe, La Qhia is your best choice.

Best margaritas of our trip
We recently visited this restaurant that came highly recommended by our local guide. We made sure to ask for their famous margaritas, and we were not disappointed. The restaurant is a charming and peaceful place, with a welcoming staff and delicious food.
Reflecting on our time in Santa Fe, we can confidently say that if we were to return, we would choose to stay at this hotel because, in comparison to our Santa Fe accommodation, this hotel offers a much quieter and more serene atmosphere. The tranquility of the surroundings creates a sense of calm and relaxation.

Shabby
One word sums it all up: lousy
We chose a twin bungalow. In fact a room attached to another and called a bungalow.
2 beds, 1 bedside table, 1 lamp, 1 fan. No chair, a small console just big enough for the 2 towels and that's it.
Not a hook, not a coat rack, nothing. Same in the bathroom, not even a bar or hook for towels. The shower cubicle isn't even tiled. No problem, hot water is random and tends to be absent.
For the restaurant, the menu is poor.
Only breakfast is doing well.
You have to look elsewhere, it’s lousy here.

Encore une fois, les gars, trouvez quelque chose à faire. Son attitude est inquiétante. Ils sont obsédés par nous ou quoi ? Comprenez-le une fois pour toutes, vous ne pouvez pas nous faire de mal, vous vous faites encore plus de mal en nous haïssant autant.

Very pretty setting. Staff was was super friendly. Restaurant/bar area was very nice.
Room could very much use hooks to hang clothes as there was plenty of wall space and shelves for clothes/etc.
There was little space for belongings so we had to keep our things in our bags.
All else was lovely! For those that are noise sensitive, it IS Central America and dogs, roosters, cats etc….all have opinions in the weee hours of the night. I always pack ear plugs to make sure I sleep well.
I highly recommend a stay here! Enjoy!
