Canopy Towers or Canopy Lodge?
 
Anyone have the pleasure of staying at both sites? If so, did you prefer one over the other and why? They both sound great and doubt we can go wrong, but thought we'd check.

Thanks.

Sorry, not both unfortunately. LOVED Canopy Tower, not only for what the immediate area offered, but also its proximity to PC, the canal, and other interesting sights. I hope you will post a trip report!

We've stayed at Canopy Tower as well. Interesting place. My husband didn't care for the food. We did enjoy our stay. Just don't think of it as a luxurious retreat. The guides were awesome.

They are both great and definitely geared toward Bird Watchers. Each is unique in that they are located in two different life zones of the tropical forest. Canopy Tower is in Lowland Tropical Forest and the Canopy Lodge is in (almost) Cloud Forest. Each is completely different with regard to forest structure and the wild life each habitat supports If you are hoping to do more than birdwatching, I'd recommend the Canopy Tower because of its proximity to Panama City.
