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.

A beautiful place to relax and unwind, the location is unmatched and a bit remote but there is a restaurant and great service from all the staff! It was a hut on the water if you want luxury accommodations you will need to go to a luxury resort, we enjoyed the rustic feel and the tranquility!

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!

Beautiful ocean property, great for snorkelling right off your own private dock. Super relaxing listening to the ocean waves right outside your window. The staff were friendly and very efficient. Highly recommended!

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.

We were very disappointed in the property. Water: They did tell us not to drink it, even to brush your teeth and provided 2 small bottles of water per person per day. This is not enough water in such hot climate (we ended up purchasing water throughout the day). We have stayed at other self contained properties that did not have potable water and they just put a 5 gallon water jug and dispenser in the room so we are ok with that. It also smelled so bad you couldn't even shower in it, it literally made us gag. Food: I ordered salad with tuna. I got iceberg garnish lettuce with a few chunks of canned tuna sprinkled around. Yes CANNED. And not the good kind, the kind that smells like cat food. I would have thought given the location it would be fresh fish? The olives on the salad were spanish cocktail olives (vs black olives) green stuffed with pimentos. On a tuna salad? Dinner we ordered seafood and rice. The seafood was like rubber. All of it. The scallops, the octopus. It was terrible and we couldn't even eat it. The breakfast "omelet" with ham was strips of boiled lunchmeat ham and what tasted like Velveeta liquid cheese. Terrible.
Staff: we always felt like we were inconveniencing them when ordering water, drinks or food (which is not included and we paid extra for). I might have understood this if it was an all inclusive. They weren't friendly or welcoming. We really wanted to like the place but would not recommend to anyone.

It begins and ends with the spectacular views. You leave with hundreds of photos and videos. Choose Punta Caracol to truly get away from it all and enjoy the true serenity that is rare to find these days. Our hosts, and those who provide various services, are exemplary. The Aqua Lodge prides itself in hiring local citizens and members of the indigenous community—authentica Panama! Snorkelling reveals another underwater world and the kayaking expands the senses. The food has a local flair and comes in generous portions. Go, if you want to get off the grid and cleanse your mind and soul!

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!

Beautiful and peaceful environment, perfect to recharge your batteries. Enjoyed some kayaking in the mangrove and swimming in the clear turquoise water. A bit rustic inside but it's all part of the charm. Service was good and staff was kind.

What a stunning place to spend my birthday! The water villas were spacious; great wifi connection (although there no outlets in your room). We enjoyed kayaking and the mangroves behind the property. The staff was extremely friendly and very helpful! I would stay here again!

Honestly one of the most stunning destinations I’ve ever visited. It is so incredibly peaceful and the sunrises are unbeatable. The cabins aren’t incredibly up to date but it isn’t necessary in my opinion, the look is very charming. There is no electric sockets in the cabins but you can charge any devices in the restaurant/bar area anytime you like. The free snorkel equipment and kayaks are great too!

Great hotel and lovely views across the sea. Staff are very friendly and attentive to your needs and requirements. There’s a free shuttle water taxi that oppresses across from Bocas however note checking pick up times in advance to avoid any disruption.
A great place and certainly gets a 10 out of 10 from me.

Had an amazing stay, the cabins are perfect for a couple. You can tell the hotel is a little old, but super clean. You can choose your dinner from different options every day. Free snorkeling, kayaking and roomservice. Great staff. You can only charge phones in the restaurant, but its no problem.

Great place. The staff was very attentive. The food was consistently GREAT each day . My only suggestion would be to offer beach towels , so you don’t have to use your room bath towels .

Location amazing for watching fish right from your room. Very hot - you will end up sleeping downstairs in hopes of catching a breeze. Using kayaks and snorkel gear a huge plus. You can snorkel right off the lodge and see tons of fish. Look for the black eagle rays swimming around. They are BEAUTIFUL!

Scenery was amazing. Staff was friendly and spoke different languages. Great snorkeling right off your private dock of the hotel. Fresh drinks and well kept accommodations. The only thing we were a little disappointed with was the food. I would definitely stay at this beatiful place again and again, just would get food in town at Bocas.
