All was fantastic. The place is a truly paradise. The hosts are so nice and welcoming. The staff always with a smile . It really unusual for me to give a 10. If I could I would give a 12. If you look for a getaway and peaceful place this is it. It really excited my expectations. The food was so tasty and different every day. The host created a unique place . You feel free and relaxed like Adam in eden.

“Perfect tranquil setting for rest, relaxation and rejuvenation”
The resort is absolutely beautiful, the rooms spacious and clean (and nicely air conditioned), the pool bar is perfect for spending a relaxing day in the pool, drinking amazing cocktails, and soaking up some Vitamin D. The location of the resort is spectacular with white sandy beaches, crystal clear water that is alive with coral, fish etc. Vince and Rosie are exemplary hosts, and the staff are lovely - a few don't speak much English but are incredibly friendly. We will definitely be returning on our next trip to Panama.

“Great place to chill and relax”
We had a lovely stay at Popa Paradise, if you are looking for a quiet and relaxing place (outside the mouse of Bocas Town) that’s the place to go! The hosts, Vince and Rosie, are very friendly and welcoming. Food was great (a bit less options for vegetarians though), but if you eat fish and meat, you will enjoy it a lot!

“Deserted island ambiance with a wet bar.”
Beautiful tropical island with top class private bungalows and a central club house/pool area. Everything worked like a dream with the will to go the extra mile to accommodate any wishes.

The hotel localization: real paradise!! Owners Vince and Rosie are amazing... Fantastic staff trying to please us with everything: the food we d like to eat ( fresh fish) and so on . Excellent food and an amazing swimming pool and bar ... A destin to repeat for sure. And if you think going on Covid era: it’s the best... private beaches / great for social distancing and all outdoor activities could be private at a moderate price. For me : a great traveller; was a incredible experience....
