Excellent service from friendly staff. The property is located in a beautiful tropical paradise. We will definitely visit this resort again.

I have mixed feeling about this place. I have to give low scores to cleanliness and services because the toilet was yellowish. This should be a big no!no! to any guests. It took us almost 14 hours to get instructions to use wifi and drinking water situation. The restaurant experience at La Rosa, however, was very pleasant. Food was delicious and never failed to impress us. Staff were very accommodating. View there was amazing!

Great se luded place with an amazing beach. Our pool light was not working and they offered to change our villa (which we were very confortable) and since we refused they borrowed the golf cart instead for the full stay. Friendly staff and beach club. A bit far from the main village if you plan to go there for dinners, but there are 4 restaurants accesible and a market

The staff were very cordial, getting around was easy and there were various options for dining.

This property is very big and so beautiful. The buildings have been situated so well that most of the time you feel like you are alone in the jungle. The villas are amazing! We had so much space and such high quality finishes. The private pools were kept clean and were just what you need in Panama. The staff was so accommodating. You could send a message on WhatsApp and they would help you out. We are pretty fit and did a lot of walking up and down to our villa at the very top of the site and enjoyed it very much, but if you text them, they will bring a small truck or a golf cart to drive you wherever you want to go. They arrange for launchas for you and you can visit other islands or BastiTown. This was the surprise hit of our amazing trip! I so wanted to see a sloth in its habitat and we did see a few as we wandered, but the highlight was when one chose to sleep in the tree right next to our villa. Also, so many red frogs if you take some of the unpaved paths near the beach.

The villa we stayed in was beautiful, spacious and the grounds were stunning and super private. Full of wildlife! The whole Red Frog area was amazing if you like a VERY quiet, subdued vacation. There is no shopping, not even a gift shop, and very few restaurants which are also often closed. This was an adjustment but we loved the atmosphere and lack of crowds/commercialization. We were oddly "upgraded" to a 3br villa for no apparent reason. I'm not sure if it was actually an upgrade as we didn't need 3 bedrooms. The one thing that really bothered all of us was the incredibly hard beds. I mean ROCK hard! My husband and I weren't able to sleep well the whole trip which really made it hard to enjoy our time. We're also not used to sleeping in a queen size bed. The descriptions of the amenities online are very misleading. They seem to lay out the facts of one villa, when in reality, each villa is completely different. The description online said there were 3 br, 4 ba. It said there was a king size bed in the master, and another bedroom that had 2 twin beds - these were 2 things very important to us. When we arrived there were 2 br with queen beds and 1br with a twin bed, and only 2 bathrooms. They really need to change the online information to be accurate. At the time of our visit the island was in a drought so water was sometimes off. Also, the pools were only filled about 3/4 full and some not at all. Our private pool was HOT and really needed cleaned by the 3rd day.

We loved the villa. We think the eating facilities, beach club and The Point Restaurant need a lot of improvement.

Total paradise! I stayed here with my husband and two young children (ages 3 & 7). We were upgraded from our two bedroom accommodation to a three bedroom villa with private pool. The accommodation was beautiful, well maintained, have a fantastic ocean view, and was absolutely perfect for our family! The resort shuttle came promptly to pick us up when we requested it. The staff were always extremely helpful from booking water taxis to delivering dinner to us via their golf cart shuttle. I could go on forever about this resort! The beach was beautiful, the waves were huge! I did read about strong riptides, and kept my small children close to me and near the shore and didn't have any issues. Such a wonderful paradise. I strongly recommend staying here!

We especially liked the boat excursion the hotel booked for us, with our Captain Arturo, we toured one of the Zapatillo islands, snorkeled, saw a few dolphins, it was the highlight of our stay. The staff was overall awesome, they picked us up in the golf carts, they were friendly and polite. The rest of the Resort was alright, the restaurants were fine. The whole experience was pretty laid back if you don't expect attention immediately you'll like it ok. The place is so spread out a bit, but it's overall walkable, it seems like they are spread a bit thin for staff. Not a swimming beach area really.

The gardens and bird life are spectacular. A beautiful place to stay. I would describe this property more like a housing estate than a resort though. A great place to get away from a hectic pace.

I was very nervous to stay here not knowing anything about it. It was an unbelievable and unforgettable experience. Definitely want to come back. The staff was incredibly nice and helpful. The island is a paradise, the resort is a luxury, well organized and beyond beautiful! Again: the staff is awesome!!!

So, the first thing you should know is that this is really a real estate venture that is also operating as a bit of a hotel, using villas with individual rooms of the villa rented out separately. Maybe this is temporary until they complete the development and sell everything off? It shows in a variety of ways. Rooms are separated by a locked door, but it's a single door so you can hear EVERYTHING from next door. The pool area would be fine if the same group was occupying the whole villa, but the space around it isn't very wide so sitting by the pool, you're staring straight into someone else's room at quite close quarters. Food in the Rosa Restaurant is OK (and breakfasts are good), but it lacks any atmosphere because most of its business in the evening seems to come from people collecting take away food to eat in their villas (maybe they own them?). Better to walk along the public beach to the Palmar Bar and Restaurant - there's some Caribbean atmosphere and pretty good food which is better value too. Finally, don't even think about using the hotel's laundry service. It's hideously expensive! All in all, it was just OK. It could be so much better if only it were designed for the purpose for which it's being used......and for the price being charged, it probably should be.

Great staff do anything for you!

Very nice place. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Sergio and Enrique went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. The villa was amazing — a lot of comfort in the middle of the jungle. It was spotless. I would have liked to receive more information about the villa before and upon arrival. No one explained to us where things were or what to do with trash, for example. You definitely need a golf cart if you want to move freely around the resort. I would have liked to know that food options are quite limited and we could have brought our own food to cook in the villa. We found the place a bit pricey for the level of service/amenities. We were particularly disappointed with the food and service at la Rosa restaurant. Nature is impressive! Upon arrival we saw red frogs and three sloths. We were able to see monkeys too. Overall, we really liked the peace and quiet and quality of the villas and we will be back better prepared and knowing that this is like renting a summer home.

Beautiful property with everything you need for a peaceful and relaxing vacation. Will definitely be back again!

Beautiful property. Nice people. Gorgeous views, beach and pool. I would suggest more activities such as yoga, meditation, a gym, pickle ball courts

vey beautiful quiet place

The service was incredible and the food and drinks were great, but they charge you extra for cleaning your room and the pictures are a little misleading

We were greeted by the friendliest staff ever and that continued throughout our stay. The property was so beautiful and there was so much to do in terms of excursions or right there at the resort.

Magical experience! We stayed in an oceanfront villa. The resort offered a great balance of privacy and amenities. A couple of their amenities were closed for maintenance but we still had a fantastic time and would return in a blink of an eye.

Upon arrival we were informed our Jungle Lodge unit had A/C issues and we were upgraded to a Villa. The unit was clean and very spacious. However, the kitchen was very poorly furnished and what was included was not well-maintained. The knives were broken or very very dull and the dishwasher did not work. EVERYTHING else was wonderful. One suggestion I would give is to arrange a golf cart rental way ahead of if time if you think you need or want one.

We stayed 7 nights in a villa. Ample space, good a/c, great views and our own pool. What’s not to like! The adjacent clubhouse is really nice with lovely pool and views. The food and drinks are great but expensive - as expected at luxury resort on an island. There isn’t a proper breakfast place at the resort as the clubhouse only opens at 12 noon. We tried breakfast at Selinas Red Frog, didn’t like it much. Poor food quality for the money and horrible coffee. There are much better and cheaper eating options at the nearby Palmar resort - go there for breakfast instead. Or make you own at the villa. The Red Frog Deli Supermarket stock what you need for basic cooking and they have the best coffee, made on a proper espresso machine! And the staff will shuttle you around the premises in electric golf carts, so it’s easy and effortless to get around this rather big estate. Just make sure to set up a WhatsApp account as it makes communication with reception much easier. Living on the edge of a rainforest has its pros and cons. There are quite a few bugs around, so remember to bring bug spray against mosquitoes and sandflies. On the plus side, it is great for animal spotting. We saw sloths, big iguanas, tiny red frogs and had a group of monkeys passing by our villa every other day. Amazing stuff! The beautiful golden beaches on Isla Bastimentos are proper world class, especially if you like body surfing in the waves.

Facility was great, Point restaurant was our favourite. Ricardo was just great and went over and above to make our lunches special. The other restaurant, the one by Tortuga Beach was not so good. Tried it once and elected to eat all our meals at the Point. Red Frog could have been much more helpful with our arrival though. Bertha Calvo emailed me that we should take Taxi 25 from Alimarante to Bocas Town and then call her upon our arrival. We arrived in Bocas Town OK and then called all three numbers Bertha had provided. All three were not being manned and said leave a message and they would get back to us. Not exactly a confidence booster. Not sure why she didn’t mention the office on Third street that we could have walked to. Things turned out Ok and we made it to the resort Ok but it would have been nice with a bit more info.

Lovely island, really beautiful and peaceful. The property was very spacious and comfortable, and fantastic being right on the beach. Two main disappointments were the quality of the kitchen facilities and daily cleaning in terms of the accommodation, and the grocery store on the island has a very limited food selection e.g. no meat, only snacks. But overall very nice place to stay for a few days
