The place is very tired and not well maintained. The amenities are not user friendly - e.g. getting into and out of the kayaks from the high dock is very challenging - my daughter fell into the water. There is a shortage of amenities. They were very late picking us up.

Beautiful location and customer service was outstanding. The only issue we had was mainly the location and inability to charge devices in your lodge - devices needed to be left with reception to charge. While they had set times for free water taxis into Bocas Town, if you needed to leave outside of these times, it could cost anywhere from $15-$30USD/person for a one-way trip from local water taxis (well beyond the typical $1-$5USD/person for travel if you're in town). If you're looking to do lots of exploring and island hopping it may be a bit more of a hassle, but if you're looking to relax and disconnect, this is the place for you! Major shoutout to the staff for being so accommodating during our stay :)

It was very nice and very serene. Nice little getaway. The water right outside the porch your private porch is great. If you are looking for peace and quiet this is your place. No TV, no fridge no outlets so I just suggest bring some power banks and you can charge at the front desk. The staff was nice and I believe the owners were there too and were super nice. We also got to see a few dolphins swimming close to our bungalow a couple of times.

A beautiful place to relax and unwind, the location is unmatched and a bit remote but there is a restaurant and great service from all the staff! It was a hut on the water if you want luxury accommodations you will need to go to a luxury resort, we enjoyed the rustic feel and the tranquility!

Punta Caracol is a little slice of heaven. The cabins are very quaint and comfortable, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the views are spectacular. Staying over the water was like being on top of an aquarium. If you love nature and sea life, this is a must see! We loved every minute!

This was the perfect ecolodge on the water! Maria, who owns and manages the lodge, always went over and above for our family to arrange day trips/boat rides to town and provided amazing travel guidance. We needed to charge our phones at reception but it was a small price to pay for a beautiful and unique Panama experience with great rooms and gorgeous views. We ate our breakfasts and lunches on site but preferred the restaurants in town for dinner. Our teens loved it and want to go back! Highly recommend!

The food, the uniqueness, the atmosphere, and the staff were all excellent. The only drawback was luxurious comforts of a traditional hotel. If you were looking to disconnect, this is your place. If you were looking for action and excitement, this is not your place we had an amazing time and enjoyed the experience.
