Eclypse de Mar Acqua Lodge ★★★

"Breakfast and staff was very good, friendly and helpful. Room was clean. Diner was fine but spring rolls way too greasy. The slats of the door were broken and did not close. This allowed everyone to look inside. That was worthless because the room was at the passage that everyone walked past We had to pay extra for the cocktails even though we were told we'd get two for the price of one, not two of the same. She only mentioned this afterward. It's a shame you only find out about this when you pay. Happy hour isn't explained on the menu."

El Jaguar ★★

Palmar Beach Lodge ★★★

"A paradise for all nature lovers. A pleasant little path leads you to the property, immediately immersing you in the atmosphere with monkeys, turtles, crabs, and birdsong. This place is simply magnificent, nestled in the forest with its beautiful beach perfect for strolling. The room was perfect, with its little terrace perched high in the trees. The decor blends seamlessly with nature. The restaurant offers generous portions and delicious food. The staff is welcoming, friendly, and attentive. A truly wonderful experience! Thank you so much."

The Sea Monkey ★★★

"Overwater Bungalow 2 was such an amazing place to stay!! The beds were comfortable and clean, the deck and hammock were so great to relax on, and Lin was an amazing host!! Would definitely recommend Sea Monkey to others."

Bambuda Lodge ★★

"The stay at Bambuda Lodge was great! The rooms are clean and big enough. There is a program in the evening, which is great for getting to know new people. The volunteers Tadgh, Owain, Natalia and Franzi are super friendly and helpful. Would recommend it to anyone!"

Red Frog Beach Island Resort ★★★★

Akwaba Lodge ★★★★

"I really had high expectations...that had been highly disappointed! The super expensive "lodge" is full of insects: mosquitos, ants, other unidentified insects and gekos that freely run on the walls and sh***ng on the bed. I want to say that I've slept everywhere in the world, from Safari huts in South African parks, to India, from huts in the jungle in the Amazon forest to humble hostels around South America and Europe...so I perfectly know that a hut (or "lodge") in the forest is full of insects or other animals but...there MUST be a net around the bed!!! Result: I spent a terrible sleepless night, full of bites of chitras or who knows what. The bed was full of everything biting me. In the morning I told about it at the reception, but the woman said that it was normal, it happened to her all the time, all I could do was going back to Bocas Del Toro Island (15 dollars boat to go and 15 to come back) to go to a pharmacy. She did NOT apologise, she did NOT show concern or empathy, she did NOT try to help with a cream for insects bites or changing the room. NOTHING. I was feeling so much pain because of the itchy skin all over my body. The night before she was rude as well because we kindly asked what to do about the insects in the room. She spoke with all the guests except us. Literally avoiding us. Did not help us to know what tours or other things we could do in the morning either. Notice that the "sea view" room has no sea view because of the tropical forest, so they shouldn't advertise it with that description and make you pay more for it. I decided to leave before the end of the stay, I needed to go to a pharmacy and see a doctor or go to the hospital, I could not stay there any longer. On top of that they did NOT offer a refund for the night I did not stay there, nor for the discomfort and inconvenience. NOT even a discount, they did NOT even offer a drink or the dinner. NO. Everything was billed and they still refuse to refund a single dollar. Terrible service. They need to do maintainance of the structure and learn how to treat guests, especially when you pay so much to relax and spend a few days on holidays. A nightmare."

Hotel Caribbean View ★★

Aqui Hoy cabañas ★★★

"Aqui Hoy is located on quiet Isla Solarte. It's only four cabanas, so you can have a "tranquilo" experience and a restful stay. The friendly owner and staff are always ready to help make your stay a memorable one. No need to leave to eat as the food is fantastic. Highly recommended. "
