• Eclypse de Mar Acqua Lodge Review score: 8

  “Breakfasts were great! Room was clean and beautiful on the water. There was noise from Old Bank but it was expected and nothing beyond anywhere else we stayed. Nice big shower and lovely staff. We liked the reserve and the easiness to get water taxis to and from.”

• Eclypse de Mar Acqua Lodge Review score: 9

  “We really enjoyed our 3-night stay in one of the rooms overlooking the water. Comfortable, clean room, great meals in the attached restaurant and in general a wonderfully relaxing place, as well as an excellent base for exploring Isla Bastimientos. We also made use of the kayaks available for free to guests, which was a very nice bonus.”

  “We had a wonderful time at this place. You are surrounded by jungle. The huts are very cozy and they have everything you need. Jen is the host of this accommodation and she lovingly takes care of her guests. There is a delicious breakfast and she helps you organize any activities you want to do. We will remember this accommodation for a long time.”

  “Breakfast was good and the food for dinner was also good. The room was perfect. Especially the stair that you can walk from your balcony into the see. And is was nice that you cold feet the fish for your room. We had a very good stay.”

• Ataraxia Review score: 10

  “We had a perfect stay at Ataraxia. If you are looking for a quiet, home away from home in a beautiful remote location for down time and with activities only a stone’s throw away, stay here. It’s a tranquil retreat in the jungle where you can eat in their restaurant as if you are dining at home. Yoga deck looking out. Amazing front deck outside our room, which we loved sitting out on every afternoon/evening to read/relax. Comfy bed. Yummy food by chef Nati who is Panamanian. Amazing hosts Manon and Pierre who helped us with everything we needed and were so friendly and the perfect hosts. We had a fun filled time here. Activities every day on every other island. Also they have snorkels and kayaks for free we used. And then ‘home’ for evening time. Heaven. We adored this place.”

  “Luis and his family were so hospitable, the food he cooked us was delicious! The place itself is so tranquil looking over the water. We loved staying here and wish we could’ve stayed longer, it was very chilled and simplistic island life.”

• Ataraxia Review score: 10

  “We loved our stay at Ataraxia! It was our second time in Bocas and this time our experience was so much better because of the beautiful jungle lodge we stayed in! The experience waking up in the jungle is a unique experience that we enjoyed so much! We would definitely recommend Ataraxia to anybody looking for the perfect combination of beach and jungle :)”
