Super friendly staff. The couple who runs it are absolutely lovely, as are the owners. We loved thats its a family run business. We stayed in a deluxe room with a garden view which was very big and modern. The air con was working fine too. The location is gorgeous. We explored the whole island and agreed we stayed in the best area on playa bluff. The main town is a bit party and not the cleanest so we are pleased we did not stay there. We hired a bike but there is a bus available if needed which is cheap and easy to get to the main places on the island. There was sloths, monkeys and diverse wildlife right around the hotel as its set in the jungle and on the beach too!. Along playa bluff you also have other restaurants and beach bars which are some of the rfbest in bocas. Its a super safe and chilled location. We would definately go back and stay again :)

overpriced, wouldn't recomend, location is fantastic for remote beach break which is a shame.

The location is fantastic, right next to the most stunning beach. our room was ok, but the expectation for the price of this accomodation was way below the mark. Other Guests left once seeing rooms.

Incrediby disappointing experience

the service provided during my stay was far below acceptable standards, regardless of price. Paying $1,200, even with a 15% discount, does not justify the series of issues we encountered, which I mention them: * Persistent water issues that were not resolved despite being reported on the first day. * Incomplete room cleaning, which is unacceptable in any accommodation. * Failure to replace towels adequately. * Poor breakfast service, with untrained volunteers unable to meet basic expectations. * Lack of essential bathroom amenities, a basic standard even in lower-cost establishments. These are not minor inconveniences; they represent fundamental shortcomings in the quality of the service. Comparing the rates to other accommodations in the area does not address the core issue: the service provided did not meet even minimal expectations, let alone justify the cost.

Stephanie was super friendly, the staff were ok, but not super friendly

breakfast was so-so, staff were super friendly. I experienced a period without water the first day, but after that it was ok. the shower head was not useable in my room.

Really cozy place, nice people and amazing beach! It feels like living in the jungle but still just next to the beach.

A place to stay for at least 3 days and relax

The hotel is beautiful, surrounded by nature. There are monkeys, agoutis and many birds. The beach is clear and deserted, a paradise to relax! The property is huge and there is even a waterfall that you can visit on a 1-hour walk, but I didn't manage to do the tour because I didn't have time enough. The room is comfortable, clean and airy. The staff was very helpful and attentive. I highly recommend the stay!

Wonderland! - I’ll definitely come back!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this incredible property, and it exceeded all my expectations! Nestled between the ocean and the jungle, the location is simply breathtaking. 🌿🏖️ From the moment I arrived, the wonderful host welcomed me with genuine kindness and warmth. One of the highlights of my stay was an enchanting hour-long walk through the jungle trail that leads to a stunning waterfall, all right on the property! 🌟😊 The rooms were immaculate, comfortable, and meticulously maintained. I also enjoyed unlimited access to a serene yoga platform, a refreshing swimming pool, and lightning-fast internet. What more could you ask for? 🧘‍♀️🏊‍♂️📶 If you’re looking for a unique and rejuvenating getaway where you can connect with nature while enjoying modern amenities, this is the place for you. Highly recommend!

Right in the jungle but in front of the sea, simply the best for resting a couple of days.

Amazing location, terrible service/owners

The location is great. The area is absolutely stunning. We got good tips from the manager about beaches and stuff to do. Bike rental was really flexible and we got a lot of help from the manager. Very friendly manager.

The location is great as long as you aren’t interested in traveling to bocastown its 35 mins away

The breakfast was mediocre. It consisted of one or two eggs, a pancake, a piece of a toast and a small amount of fruit. The coffee was terrible.

Playa Bluff Lodge is an awesome place to spend holiday, we were happy with very friendly and helpful staff, the rooms were very nice and 100% clean, food delicious and we were fascinated by the hotel gardens and the gorgeous seaview. Perfect place to stay at Bocas if you want a really authentic and luxury place at the same time with the best location you can imagine! we will be back!
