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!

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.

Punta Caracol is a little slice of heaven. The cabins are very quaint and comfortable, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the views are spectacular. Staying over the water was like being on top of an aquarium. If you love nature and sea life, this is a must see! We loved every minute!

Perfect spot to relax, swim out your back door and get away from it all. Really unique facilities. Great snorkeling - out your back door. Would love to come back. Nothing to complain about!

The food, the uniqueness, the atmosphere, and the staff were all excellent. The only drawback was luxurious comforts of a traditional hotel. If you were looking to disconnect, this is your place. If you were looking for action and excitement, this is not your place we had an amazing time and enjoyed the experience.

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.

Que les puedo decir si usted viene a un lugar ecológico pues tiene que aceptar ciertas incomodidades, el lugar es precioso tiene un acuario natural en tu habitacion. Pero vienes a descansar no a que te controlen tu horario, la cena hay que pedirla por anticipado de un menú fatal diseñado para gente obesa y sin gusto. Ahora eso pasa, pero lo que está pésimo es Bocas del Toro y en especial el tour que nos recomendaron en el hotel, la verdad mucha carestía, y el tour una estafa, nos llevaban a un lugar de avistamiento de delfines vimos uno, nos ofrecieron una isla con playa virgen y no había campos donde sentarse de la calidad de gente, y no nos divergieron que no hay absolutamente nada donde consumir nada, nos llevaron a un lugar insalubre en medio del mar donde cobraron $30 por un plato feo en un lugar que mi país el Ministerio de Salud hubiera cerrado sin contemplaciones y que además tienen la chachaza de levantarnos de la “mesa” porque tenían más clientes, bocas en general está caro y tienen muchos costos ocultos, el hotel tiene botes a la isla principal gratis, pero en horarios que nadie usa 6:30 am el siguiente hasta las 11:45 es decir o te vas demasiado temprano o pierdes toda la mañana. Que queda contratar el mismo bote pero pagando adicional, hasta te cobran impuesto de entrada a bocas cuando es la verdad un municipio con aire de tugurio, los ticos que van porque lo consideran barato mejor que se queden en Puerto Viejo al final sale igual de precio con mejor servicio.

Disliked: Amenities
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.
