Beautiful location and customer service was outstanding. The only issue we had was mainly the location and inability to charge devices in your lodge - devices needed to be left with reception to charge. While they had set times for free water taxis into Bocas Town, if you needed to leave outside of these times, it could cost anywhere from $15-$30USD/person for a one-way trip from local water taxis (well beyond the typical $1-$5USD/person for travel if you're in town). If you're looking to do lots of exploring and island hopping it may be a bit more of a hassle, but if you're looking to relax and disconnect, this is the place for you! Major shoutout to the staff for being so accommodating during our stay :)

The lady at reception was amazing. Always helpful and kind. The same with the breakfast staff and the boat operators. However, some things are not evident on Hotels.com website. First, each bungalow functions on a marine battery, which powers the lamps and ceiling fans only. I use a CPAP medical device which would not run on such a low voltage. I would have brought a battery pack for mine if I had known in advance. The bungalow itself is two floors and I found the steep stairs to be challenging at times. The back of the bungalow is open and a nice ocean breeze flows through. It rained a few times with the wind so the rain came inside through the "window". Use the provided plastic container for your electronics or valuables. You have to charge any electronics at reception. It would be wise to charge things like a battery bank at that spot and then charge more expensive items from your battery afterwards. The food served in the restaurant was average.

It was very nice and very serene. Nice little getaway. The water right outside the porch your private porch is great. If you are looking for peace and quiet this is your place. No TV, no fridge no outlets so I just suggest bring some power banks and you can charge at the front desk. The staff was nice and I believe the owners were there too and were super nice. We also got to see a few dolphins swimming close to our bungalow a couple of times.

This is such a cool place! Beautiful surroundings and a unique experience. It is rustic, but a fun adventure. You must climb up and down quite steep stairs to get to the bedroom. Unfortunately, we had lots of rain, so took the water taxi into town and did some exploring. We went to red frog beach. Beautiful! Staff are nice. Food good. Not many vegetarian options, but overall good. We kayaked and snorkeled. Beautiful! I highly recommend.

Expedia sold me a "package deal" for flight and stay. Expedia failed to deliver, they only providing a flight to Panama and no flight to Bocas. Nor was any of this mentioned or disclosed that you would be responsible for the additional in the "package deal" I contacted Expedia 2-weeks before the trip to get this issue resolved. They were NO HELP. Then I contacted this resort directly via email and phone to try to change my check in date to accommodate the additional flights needed to get to Bocas and the resort. They NEVER replied, or answered the phone to provide help or to make the situation right, or even the common courtesy to email me back or answer the phone. I was taken advantage of, and ALL of the money I spent on this trip was down the drain. Very upset and disappointed.

This was the perfect ecolodge on the water! Maria, who owns and manages the lodge, always went over and above for our family to arrange day trips/boat rides to town and provided amazing travel guidance. We needed to charge our phones at reception but it was a small price to pay for a beautiful and unique Panama experience with great rooms and gorgeous views. We ate our breakfasts and lunches on site but preferred the restaurants in town for dinner. Our teens loved it and want to go back! Highly recommend!

It was very unique. I highly recommend it. Some suggestions to make it more unique include: allowing us to charge phones in our rooms; make it more eco friendly by having people fill up water bottles from a main dispenser rather than small single use bottles. We liked the fact that the kayaks and snorkels were included. More local food choices on the menu.

Hay que tener mucho cuidado. Lo único bueno de este hotel es la fotografía del anuncio. No hay aire acondicionado (la temperatura es de casi 35 grados y la humedad altísima) Cuando llueve, el agua se mete por los techos, mojando todo. Solo hay electricidad para un par de focos. La actitud del staff es muy negativa. Nada se puede! Yo tenía reservado por 4 noches pero sólo aguantamos 1 y nos cambiamos a otro hotel. Se negaron rotundamente a reembolsarme las 3 noches no ocupadas. Todo muy frustrante y desagradable!
