“Pure Relaxation in Paradise”

We stayed at an eco lodge in Bastimentos, Panama, and it was simply unforgettable. A true slice of paradise, perfect for disconnecting and immersing yourself in nature. The property is stunning and beautifully detailed, with spacious and very comfortable rooms. The pool is a fantastic bonus—perfect for relaxing in total tranquility. Breakfast was fresh, varied, and delicious every morning. From the lodge, you can explore nearby paradise islands, join excursions, or kayak around the area. And the dinners? Truly 5-star quality: fresh, refined, and absolutely delicious. Dan is an exceptional chef, and Brian makes outstanding cocktails. They are 2 amazing Hosts - welcoming, attentive, and always available, just like the rest of the staff. Highly recommended: a unique experience we will never forget.

“An amazing, peaceful jungle escape with warm, friendly hosts, delicious food, and high-quality service in a beautifully”

We had an amazing stay at Daniel and Brian’s eco lodge and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, we received a warm and friendly welcome that immediately made us feel at home. Daniel and Brian are truly perfect hosts: attentive, kind, and always ready to arrange solutions or help with anything we needed. The lodge itself is modern, beautifully decorated with great taste, and offers all the amenities for a comfortable stay. It is incredibly quiet, set right in the middle of the jungle, surrounded by nature and birds — a truly exotic and peaceful place that allows you to fully disconnect. At the same time, it is still conveniently located close to activities, which is ideal. One of the highlights was the food: delicious, high-quality meals cooked on site by Daniel, who is an excellent chef. And after a day of exploring, we loved being “rinsed” by Brian’s amazing cocktails 😃 Overall, this eco lodge offers high-quality service, a calm and beautiful natural setting, the possibility to eat on site, and incredibly friendly hosts. A unique, relaxing, and memorable stay — we would absolutely recommend it

“An outstanding stay in Panama!”

Our stay at the Lodge was absolutely exceptional and exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by an incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional staff who truly went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The rooms are modern, spotlessly clean, and beautifully designed with great attention to detail. The beds are extremely comfortable, and the overall atmosphere is calm and relaxing — perfect after a day of exploring.The breakfast and dining experience were excellent, offering a great variety of fresh, high-quality options! Daniel really was a perfect chef! The hotel’s location is ideal: safe, central, and a perfect base for discovering Panama’s city life, culture, and nature. At the same time, the hotel itself feels like a peaceful oasis where you can truly relax. In short, the Lodge combines outstanding service, comfort, and style at the highest level. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Panama. A true highlight of our trip!

“Absolute off-grid paradise with delicious food and amazing views”

Punta Rica Lodge is definitely one of the best places I’ve stayed at in Central America. Rooms are very spacious and absolutely spotless (and very well decorated!). Staff was amazing - we got upgraded to a larger room and had complementary pick-up and drop-off to & from the main island. Daniel was extremely nice, gave us very useful recommendations, and he is an outstanding chef. Definitely recommend having dinner there at least once to try his delicious food. Breakfast is included and those were the best avocado toast and pancakes we’ve had in our lives. This place is a must! Very nice swimming pool and common area - with a sea view. Really hope to come back one day!

“PARADISE OF BOCAS WITH 5 STAR FOOD, DON’T LOOK FURTHER”

I am an hospitality expert and I have discovered Punta Rica Lodge by case. I feel very lucky to have discovered this paradise. The Lodge is beautifully designed and decorated in details and surrounded by the most beautiful trees and plants and flowers. Is it located on a small hill and had a private Pier where you can look at sunset over the water. The Rooms are huge and beautifully designed. The piace and the sound of the birds is mind blowing. But the BEST part is yet to come. DANIEL, of of the owners ( unfortunately i could not meet the second owner but hopefully next time soon), was not ONLY the most pleasant and kind and friendly person, but also a 5 star CHEF. He was cooking for us every eve ning offering a 3 courses menu that was mind blowing. Nobody from the guests wanted to go eat outside because Daniel’s food was surreal. His desserts were better then a Michelin star. The Breakfast was just delicious and offered different options, same for dinner. The hotel had a beautiful pool to relax. Along the walking path of the hotel you can spot the famous red frogs ( no need to look further). Sara was amazing and her breakfast was fantastic. The small apero before dinner and the common salon table was amazing so socialize with other travelers and as a solo traveler i never felt alone which was fantastic. If you still want intimacy the Lodge has also single tables. Home stay cozy feels like style. Well connected to the other islands by a short 5 minutes water boat taxi ride.

It's a lovely place in a beautiful location. Daniel and Brian are delightful hosts, welcoming, friendly, and helpful. They've created a very comfortable and relaxing environment at the Lodge. The food was excellent! We looked forward to the delicious breakfasts each morning and enjoyed the three dinners we had there very much. It's easy to arrange transport from Punta Rica to wherever you want to get to and there are several gorgeous beaches and places to explore nearby.

“Perfect place to relax. Perfect hosts for an amazing food & drinks experience.”

The moment you reach this eco lodge you are welcomed by the proud owners Daniel and Brian. They are the perfect hosts and specialized in great food (breakfast, lunch and dinner!) and cool coktails. Nice to see how they connect you with the other interesting guests and make a real vibrant atmosphere in this lovely surrounding.

“Best stay in the Bocas!”

Brian and Dan simply understand true hospitality, comfort, relaxation and fun, which they offer their guests in a very genuine way, cause it's simply who they are. It started with a welcome cocktail and our room and all the other areas were amazing. They thought of every detail to provide happiness and comfortness, like fresh flowers everywhere, drinking water in your room and sufficient fresh linnen, including towels for the swimming pool. And, oh my ..., that pool! Perfect! So refreshing and right in the middle of floroushing nature. Trees, flowers and cute little frogs in all kinds of colours. They provide everything completely off grid, eco, with full respect of nature, without losing convenience. Breakfasts were absolutely delicious, as was diner. Since Dan is a chef and simply knows what is good, when and where. In our case: first two coffees, then slowly ready for breakfast ... ;-) And the desert creme brulee deserves a bigger than big recommendation! This place felt like arriving home, without the worries, work and obligations you have at home. So comfortable, at ease and relaxed, but also so much fun and taken care of, without having the feeling anything is too much for anyone. In full liberty and happiness everything happens and goes. It all feels like go with the flow. Also: we went to Bibi's on the beach and Coquitos Beach with Brian and Dan (Sunday Funday! :-)...), where we enjoyed cocktails, live music, great people of all sorts, and good pizzas. And they arranged a hiking and snorkling trip for us with Junior, to Old Creek and back, which was truly amazing as well (beautiful spots, fresh fruits and sashimi straight out of the ocean!). These people know how to treat you and make you feel, like you are on a holiday, with áll your senses! :-)

“The perfect place to stay in Bocas”

Dan & Brian's place overlooks the sea and is just a few steps from a lovely little beach with white sand and coral reefs on either side. They provide snorkelling equipment, paddle boards and kayaks free of charge. The house itself is impressive and the rooms very nicely furnished. Beds super comfy. The pool is a good size and nice and warm, and surrounded by trees full of birds and the occasional sloth or monkey. The food was fantastic and they make great cocktails. They also organised us a private tour to the Zapatillas islands which was idyllic, and they had lots of other great recommendations, including the easy hike to Wizard beach which is stunning and was practically empty.

“It was such a pleasure to be around such lovely people. We had such a unique, heartfelt experience at Punta Rica, that i”

Punta Rica Lodge is nestled in the Bastimentos island jungle, surrounded by beautiful flora (trees, colorful flowers) and fauna (amazingly rich wildlife). We loved our super friendly, open, fun and helpful hosts, Brian and Daniel, who have made us truly feel at ease and among friends in this beautiful place. Most nights we ate dinner together, since Dan cooks the most amazing and varied dishes, all from fresh, local ingredients, while Brian makes wonderful cocktails that made us feel at home and among friends, sharing stories, dreams and travel adventures. We loved the pool and the common area (living and dining room), as well as our amazing suite, the delicious and fresh meals and the smiles. Thank you. It was one of the most amazing experiences ever.

The location and the setting is absolutely beautiful. You can walk to town even though parts of the walk is like a hiking experience. Brian was very nice and accomodating.

“We has two amazing days. Everything was perfect. I can only recommend the place.”
