Hotel y Restaurante Boca Brava Lodge

The staff was so friendly and accommodating. They made us feel right at home. We'll be back here in the future. The hotel has some awesome architecture. We thought it was pretty cool the way it was set up. Everything was more then we expected, I'm glad we went! The views were great and we got to see some howler monkeys!

So much potential, great location, wonderful wildlife, beautiful walks to nearby empty beaches, views to die for! |However… the place is falling apart, needs updating, needs a good clean, needs a proper chef! |In the evenings when the howler monkeys are up in the trees nearby the music in the bar is soooooo loud, and despite asking for the bolume to be reduced it kept going up. |It’s all a bit shambolic, but a wonderful position. I do hope some love will be given to this place.

A very good experience, everything is peaceful, the place is super nice, everything is clean, the rooms, the food, the drinks are all very good, and the staff's attention is outstanding, very attentive and friendly

Disappointed!!! I had a great experience few years ago in connection with nature monkeys and with great food, so I decided to come back.... However under new admin things got worse... "Delux rooms" are the same as cheaper rooms but they have a private bathroom. However cheaper rooms have the acces to a kitchen (not very clean though) and the fridge is too small. Personnel was drinking whilst working and playing music way too loud (so howling monkeys don't go near anymore). The food at the restaurant was extremely bad unpalatable and made us feel sick.

What a special place to cool down and relax! The whole team was so kind and helpful, in spite of the owner died some months before - thank you so much for that extraordinairy effort . We only had well done meals and tasty breakfasts, as well as the transport to Puerto Boca Chica or the lift to the boattours were always reliable. A walk over the Island is a exiting encounter with plants, butterflys and monkeys. If you‘re looking for quiet and relaxing days, Boca Brava is the Right place.

The island is beautiful, but the walkable beaches are not worth it. No store on the island to buy groceries, you have to take the boat taxi to main land. The rooms were below expectations. The bathroom gave no private space since the wall wasn't going all way up. The shared kitchen was old and the standard and utensils were insufficient. A lot of ants which didn't made it any better. The owner's way of managing the place left us a bit chocked. He welcomed us the first day by speaking in a foreign language even though we told him we don't understand, probably intoxicated he continued talking. We rented kayaks another day but weren't told that the currents can be very strong due to the tide. Since the current was too strong we could not return to the hotel. We called the owner who after some time arranged a boat taxi for us back, which was good. But once returning he was questing why we went that direction? I think givning some basic information about the waters would be good idea.

Lovely place to stay in a magical part of Panama. Decided to extend our stay here because it was so nice. The only thing I wish we knew in advance was to bring our own beach towels because there are none available to rent or buy anywhere in the vicinity. But that didn't take away from our stay -- we essentially had our own private beach everyday, on the island or across the bay by kayak. Would highly recommend!

Rooms were disgusting, the bathroom wasn’t even a room, just some built up walls not even going all the way to the ceiling. The owner was very rude, scolded us when we ordered food from the menus that we were given when in reality we only could order food that was written on a tiny board in the bar. He made us feel very uneasy, grabbing his employee’s butt several times and being obviously intoxicated the entirety of our stay.
