Gorgeous spot
This place is a dream. The room was amazing, the shuttle service around the property and the staff was perfect. The beach is gorgeous. We had a private pool that was cold and in the shade most of the time, so we spent more time in the beach club and the ocean. I would caution you that this resort is in the middle of nowhere. Bring cash for tips (no ATMs on the island), and definitely any medications you might need. I got a cold on the plane and there is no pharmacy anywhere nearby…the front desk managed to get me some lozenges about 10 hours after I asked, but no decongestant. There is a tiny store on the property but very little in it. The main town is $10 a person one way by water taxi, which makes getting decongestant very pricey. Also, there was only one restaurant open on the property. There are supposed to be four in the vicinity, but there were only two: the La Rosa beach club and Palmar (on the public beach). Fortunately both were very good, and we enjoyed eating the same excellent seared ahi night after night. When we left there was a discrepancy between the room charge and the hotels.com receipt, so they had to figure that out and it took some time, but they fixed it. The guy at the desk and all the staff really went above and beyond.

Rainforest Paradise
This was an amazing resort. The spa was the ultimate rainforest treat. I enjoyed a fantastic massage while immersed in the sounds of the rainforest. We enjoyed zip lining with our 12 year old. It was one of the best zip lining courses we have experienced around the world. The food at the main restaurant La Rosa was mediocre. But the El Palmar resort restaurant next door offered great food.

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

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.

8/10 Very good

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.

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.

Villa 30 - Amazing view, pool, great beaches
Our villa was beautiful! We loved the grounds, the view of the ocean, landscaped perfect with nature. We seen monkeys almost every day and several red frogs too. Food at Punta Lava was very good. Prices for food and drinks really reasonable. Staff friendly and helpful.

Beautiful but not quite what we expected.
This is not a hotel. This is an opportunity to rent a large house for a large group of people in a very remote place. Ideal for families or groups of friends, but not ideal if you are only one or two people because then you need to share a house with strangers. You need to take a water taxi to Bocas (the town) for nightlife. We thought the idea was great except you have to pay for the taxi if you don't want to take the resort shuttle during the few times of day it runs. The prices at the one local restaurant are equal to New York $20-30 per plate, and though the food is good, the service is horrible. We were very surprised by the high prices of all the amenities. The restaurant for the hostel (Kayuko) on the other hand, is LOVELY. GREAT FOOD, great people, great wifi. If you are looking for a poolside location with cabanas and drink service, this is not it. If you are looking for a private house to bring you whole family, this will be great for you. The beach was absolutely beautiful, but getting there then getting to the villas on the unpaved roads in a golf cart will do a number on your back- not for the faint of heart!

Blew me away
We were very impressed with the Red Frog Beach accommodations. It was a full size 2 bedroom home with a great room. The kitchen had a fabulous island for entertaining. Just off the great room was a fully covered patio that was completely furnished. The bed rooms were ample size both having en-suite baths. A plus was a private pool. The water was air temperature so perfect.

Not what we expected
Takes 2 boat rides to get here. Soaked and left at the dock. No one to direct you to reception which is a distance up a dirt road. We gave them our confirmation # , they indicated no booking. We booked a queen, villa private pool. Sent us across to another building, locked(all this in pouring rain) wait After 45 minutes, back to orig. building and they said no booking. All day,pouring rain. Told to go to the "restaurant" and wait another long hike. He agreed to drive us with our luggage. At the restaurant, they were out of most food. Were told they would be back in 40 minutes. 2 1/2 hours before we managed to get someone back to get us. They said they found our reseravation and blamed hotels.com for the confusion. I have never had a problem before. Up the hills on the dirt roads in a golf cart in the rain and arrive at "our villa" Opened the door and there were 3 other couples in the villa and our room was at the top of the marble stairs. Not anticipated. I cannot maneuver stairs. Back to reception. Manager indicated it was Hotels.com to blame for our misunderstanding, that we rented a queen bed in a villa with a private pool. Choose carefully. Be aware cost for cart rental. This is a Jurasic park experience,suited for those wanting a walking nature experience. Do not expect delux treatment. If you go, make sure you pick up supplies in Bocas Del Toro as there is nothing available once you get to Red Frog.
