Frequently asked questions.

It depends on the cabin:

• Cabin El Quetzal — street level, direct access from the parking area with no stairs. Ideal for older adults, young children, and limited mobility.
• Cabin El Tucán — requires going down several flights of stairs from the street to the front door. Not recommended for guests with mobility limitations.

If you're not sure which option is best for your group, message us and we'll help you decide.

Los Altos de Cerro Azul is a private, gated community with a security checkpoint. For your group to get in on the day of your stay, we need to arrange access in advance.

Before you arrive, send us by WhatsApp:

• Full names of everyone entering
• Passport number (or cédula/ID number for Panamanian residents)

With that information, Nikki — the owner — clears your entry with the gate guard. This means only the guests you confirm with us can get through, which protects everyone who lives in or stays in the community. The number you book for is the number of guests who can enter.

Cabin El Quetzal (up to 6 guests) is $150 per night. Cabin El Tucán (up to 14 guests) is $250 per night. If you bring pets there's an additional $25 per night, per pet.
