The staff was very friendly and the location is just awesome! The sea was very very calm during our stay and the water was so clear. Definitely a great experience!! I recommend taking an external charger since there is no electricity except for the light in the cabins.
The food was a bit expensive for the fact that it only tasted ok. Also, when we wanted to check out in the morning there was nobody there. For us it was ok, since we weren’t in a rush and could have told them a night before - but it felt a bit strange to know, that there wouldn’t be anyone there in an emergency

The location on the water and the silence of nature are just perfect, like a dream coming true. The cabins are nice, simple, there is no tv and u can enjoy the sea to the fullest, just sit on your porch and watch the fish jumping outside the water and a group of dolphins passing by! The stuff is helpful and friendly and you can take snorkel equipment and a kayak for no charge. You cannot charge your phone in the room, only in the restaurant area. There are free boat taxis from town and to town on several hours, make sure to get informed before you take an expensive one to the hotel! Location is great, about 10 min to starfish beach and 15 to town.
The lack of AC is noticable but managable. It was raining at night and you couldnt sit on the porch because of how it is built. We r vegans and there werent many options for dinner (we should have told them in advance), food is average. Wifi not very good in the room, good in the restaurant area (also an advantage;)

Great bungalows on the water. Feels like a real treat! Stunning views. Quiet and calm place to relax, soak in the sun and swim in crystal clear waters. Away from hustle of bocas town and all the motor boats. Snorkeling and kayaking from the doorstep. Great food and super nice and helpful staff! Recommended for relaxation and quiet place
Nothing ! But to keep in mind, on the flipside the remote location comes with higher prices (food, transport to beach/town etc) and takes a while to get places.

The location is amazing. Snorkeling right off your deck. Amazing walk through the jungle. Kayaks and snorkeling gear are complimentary. Reception was able to arrange several tours for us. They offer three complementary water taxis throughout the day from the island to bocas del Toro. It is definitely a rustic setting was absolutely amazing
Due to the remote location of the property, I think there should be a complimentary coffee tea station. Also due to the remote nest of the location you are, relying on their restaurant for all of your food needs. go to town and bring back your own provisions. This isn't necessarily a complaint but I feel like you need to be prepared

The views here are indescribable. We were shocked to find exactly how stunning it was, the Caribbean was the greenest blue we’d ever seen and the water lapped up to our deck every day, giving us a real life sleep machine. We did not book any excursions (although there were plenty to choose from!) because we genuinely wanted to enjoy everything the lodge was offering us.
It was only a *small* downside-it did get HOT at night. And I mean HOT. There were fans, but they did little to quell the heat and humidity-and the upstairs bed was far too warm to sleep, we ended up sleeping on the two sofas on the first floor and opening the doors to attempt a cool breeze. It did not damper our trip, but it was slightly a bummer. Another frustration that was not the hotel’s fault was that our last day, a family with two small children moved in next door and there went our quiet, serene experience :( The family was loud, very loud (and not just the kids-the dad was probably the loudest of all!) It sent us indoors our last night there, their noise level was just too much.

Location was amazing. The hotel staff was really nice. The kitchen staff was outstanding.
Snorkeling equipment was old, and the rooms were hot. And I mean hot. The first night it was super uncomfortable to sleep. They need to do better job with fans or something. And the fact that there is no power in the rooms except for their small lights which to be honest isn't a lot, is kind of unacceptable. They need to install bigger or more solar panels for each one so that you can actually charge your phone. My husband needed a CPAP machine that he could not use

Our stay here was lovely. The property is beautiful. The rooms are not luxury which I feel is the expectation for overwater bungalows but people need to take into account both price and location when determining value. Bocas is an in-demand destination accessibly by direct flight from Panama City in about 40 minutes. The bungalow is spacious and clean, no TV but you're here to relax. The snorkeling was great fun and we enjoyed taking out the kayaks on an adventure. The food was decent, service is slow but that's general for Panama and the views and ambiance while waiting are pleasant so no complaints.
The frequency of the hotel boat shuttle could be increased, we would've been more inclined then to go explore Bocas Town or go out for dinner. I will note, the shuttle is available by request but then you have to decide in advance and can't quite be as spontaneous.

We stayed in the master suite. Absolutely gorgeous space! We enjoyed the views from both decks, laying in the hammocks, and snorkeling under our building. We also really enjoyed kayaking. The restaurant was delightful. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality and variety of the food. We were under the impression that it was a prix-fixe menu, but it turned out that we could order anything off the menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Highly recommend!
We were not prepared for the amount of no-see-um bugs. We ended up with hundreds of bug bites. We loved being outside, but we were eaten alive no matter where we sat. Off spray does nothing to stop them. Highly recommend bringing something to keep them away. Also bring after-bite cream or spray. Definitely frustrating. We also did not know that we couldn't drink the water. Buying bottles of water from the restaurant was fine, but added up. We would have brought giant bottles had we known.

The location of this lodge was amazing, away from the noisy town and dark waters. It was off the coast all on its own with clear waters and fish everywhere. We even saw stingrays! They provided extras such as kayaks and snorkelling gear free of charge which was great. The staff were super friendly and accommodating too.
Nothing really, the level of expectation we had was correct. It’s rustic, don’t expect luxury. This is a reasonably basic place but the views and the serenity make up for it 💕

OMG! This place is simply amazing. Everything:the location, accommodations, food and of course the people. This trip was a dream come true. I will never forget it. Very ecologically conscious as well. They have a solar panels on each bungalow, so the electricity in your bungalow is not enough for charging your phones. We would charge it in the restaurant area. It would be smart to bring a power bank. No TV in the bungalows as well, which no one really remembered, cause the view is better than any TV. They also have snorkeling equipment and paddle boats available to u for free. The food is simply amazing :all kinds of a seafood, but they have chicken too. Amazing clear water that u can jump directly from your bungalow to and just watch the fishes and some other creatures swimming buy, coral reefs. I know, many people have advised to buy a bug repellant. We did not see any bugs or mosquitoes, only those tiny 🦎,very tiny.However your bed is surrounded by this net, so nothing comes thru while u are asleep. Bed is very comfortable, the bathroom is great: running water, hot, cold.On that location there is no store, so if u wanna have some snacks and extra stuff, make sure u get it at Bocas Town before u get into the motor boat. That's what I did.U might not wanna bring little kids there. It's pretty much, a couple's getaway. Although we saw some people that looked like they were just friends. The couches in your bungalow are comfortable to sleep on as well, so one bungalow can easily fit 4 people. The master bedroom is on a second floor of a bungalow. They do bring bottled water daily, also because they are advising not to drink the running water. I'm so happy I went there, if u are conteplating- please, go! thank u so much to all the Punta Caracol staff.
The only thing I did not like is that I couldn't stay there longer.
