Eclypse de Mar Acqua Lodge
8.8 (53 reviews)

Eclypse de Mar Acqua Lodge ★★★

📍 Bastimentos Island, Bastimento

"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."

Palmar Beach Lodge
8.9 (66 reviews)

Palmar Beach Lodge ★★★

📍 Red Frog Beach, Bastimento

"The experience could have been good because the beach is very beautiful, and the wildlife and flora around the hotel are stunning. However, beyond the unbearable noise from the construction work, the quality of service at the hotel is atrocious. The staff is completely untrained. It seems that the manager, Rene Saturnino, is more interested in “revenue generation” than in “hospitality”. Making more money is clearly one of his objectives. Providing even the bare minimum of good customer service is clearly not. The level of service isn’t even up to the standards of a one-star hotel. The employees look like they are doing forced labor. No one seems happy, and it shows through the service. In the end, it makes the experience horrible, and it really ruined my stay. I really wish they would put as much effort into training their staff—teaching them to smile—as they do into their WhatsApp group, where they mostly suggest (paid) activities to do. In any case, I strongly recommend avoiding this hotel, which is completely mismanaged. Run away!"

Akwaba Lodge

Akwaba Lodge ★★★★

📍 isla solarte, Bastimento

"We loved our stay in Akwaba Lodge! Natali and JC are fantastic hosts and it really is a family affair! We ate well, slept well and enjoyed the wonderful surroundings including the delights of Red Frog Beach, Isla Zapatillas and many more spots! Nothing was too much trouble for the team there, to help us make a memorable stay for our family. The lashing rain on the way back to catch the plane was memorable, laughable and made for that extra layer of goodness :-). Thanks again to all for a wonderful nature, food and fun filled time."

Palmar Beach Lodge ★★★
"Had a very disappointing stay at Palmar Beach Lodge. Red Frog Beach was not as lovely as people seemed to say it was. The ocean here is not meant for swimming and was incredibly full of seaweed. Not the relaxing location I was hoping for. I booked Palmar Beach Lodge as a splurge for myself during a recent first time trip to Panama. It was by far the most expensive lodging (at least double to even four times the amount of other lodging I booked) of my entire trip and I was very excited to head there for some relaxation. I did my research and understood I’d have to walk in a ways from the water taxi drop off point. I figured this meant it would be even more peaceful and relaxing, which was right up my alley. After coming from Boquete on a shuttle, I paid for a water taxi to Palmar Beach Lodge. This cost a bit more than I was anticipating, as there was no one else headed to the location. I was still feeling excited. After the drop off at the dock on Isla Bastimentos, I began heading inland on the trail. At one point, the trail turned but was not well marked, so I had to backtrack and find where I was supposed to go. I was insanely hot carrying my heavy backpack and another smaller backpack, and more than ready to relax and cool off. As I walked along the path, I walked past an area of construction, where several tall building were in the process of being built. I thought to myself, well, that would suck to pay for a quiet vacation and end up next to that! I finally made it to the reception area and was greeted by lovely employees who then showed me to my room. I booked a room with A/C, as a I prefer to sleep in the coolness and dislike constantly sweating lol. It was very much a big splurge for me, as it cost so much more than anything else I booked on this trip. Imagine my shock and dismay when the employee led me down the sandy path to my room. It was literally right next to all the construction going on. I’m sweating buckets and now listening to all sorts of hammering and saws and whatnot. The room itself was nice. It seemed clean and organized, although the “spacious closet” that was advertised was not even a real closet, just a small section with a rod and a few shelves. Regardless, it had A/C and I attempted to cool off, both literally and figuratively. The lock on my only door, a patio door, was bizarre and took some finagling in order to get it to lock and unlock, which you had to do with a key from both sides. This made me feel slightly unsafe as a solo female traveler. It seemed like it wouldn’t take much to break the lock and enter the room. The construction noise continued, and I decided that the amount I paid for this room was not worth this complete lack of peace and quiet. I went back to reception and asked for a refund due to the construction. I was handed off to a male employee who was pleasant but told me they would not do a refund and the best he could offer me was possibly a free meal. This never happened. I headed down to "

Akwaba Lodge ★★★★
"I really wanted to love this place because the property itself is absolutely beautiful. The grounds are filled with lush trees, and there are birds all around, which makes the environment feel peaceful and relaxing. The owners also provide snorkeling equipment and kayaks, which is a great touch and adds to the experience. However, there were several fundamental issues that made our stay very uncomfortable and disappointing. First, the cabin we booked was advertised as a water/oceanfront view. Unfortunately, the view was completely blocked by palm trees, and the ocean was not visible at all. We essentially paid extra for a view that did not exist. When I reached out to the owners, I was told that another cabin (which actually had the proper ocean view) could not be cleaned in time and was already reserved for the following day. What made this more frustrating was that the cabin was sitting empty at the time, yet no effort was made to prepare it for us. While I understand they mentioned having issues with their washing machine, that should not impact a guest receiving what they specifically paid for—especially when a solution was clearly available. Beyond that, other issues continued throughout our stay: • Towels were only changed once during our 3-night stay, and only two towels were provided. • There is no air conditioning (which I acknowledge I should have noticed beforehand, but worth mentioning for future guests). • The cabins do not have glass windows—only screens—and some of those screens were broken, allowing insects inside. The most concerning issue, and ultimately the reason for this review, was that the cabin was infested with roaches. We encountered roaches in every area of the cabin—on the couch, in the bedroom, on the walls, in the bathroom, and even coming out from under our luggage. At one point, my husband saw one crawling next to him while he was lying on the couch. It was constant and extremely uncomfortable. We attempted to contact ******* to change accommodations, but due to the late hour (around midnight) and the remote location in Bocas del Toro—accessible only by boat—we had no safe or practical option to leave that night. I do want to note that the owners seem like kind people. I saw them helping other guests with transportation and recommendations, and they appeared friendly and well-intentioned. However, when it came to handling our situation, there was a lack of urgency, accountability, and basic customer service. We did not receive an apology for the roach issue, despite them being notified. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I felt it was important to share this experience. With better attention to cleanliness, maintenance, and guest service—especially when issues arise—this property has the potential to be truly amazing."

"This is a beautiful hostel. The vibes are brilliant and although it’s really social it’s not completely dependent on drinking. The rooms are lovely and clean and the food is really excellent. They were great with my food allergy. Delaney and Alban were great with organising games one evening and we all had a really good time. I’d definitely come back!"

"The perfect escape in paradise! The owner (Robert and his wife Maile) contacted us immediately after booking with helpful instructions, which made us feel very welcome. Upon arrival into Bocas del Toro, Robert’s helpful boat aide (Rodolfo) picked us up and escorted us to the premises with a beautiful ride on the water. We were upgraded free of charge and the villa was absolutely incredible - amazing views, spacious, clean and furnished to a high standard. Robert gave us a guided tour of the grounds and WiFi is strong throughout, then at dinner we were blown away by away with the sublime food in our 3-course meals. I would highly recommend this stay!"

"My husband and I had the most beautiful week at Al Natural. Such a unique experience. Sleeping while hearing the waves lap below us was awesome! We hiked, snorkeled, and kayaked and were able to totally unwind. And then the food!! Wow! Incredible meals made even more memorable by the conversations with both Michel, and other guests. We felt like an international family. A truly special place!"
