My favorite place of the entire trip!! Great hosts and excellent chef. Soooo peaceful and very romantic in a rustic sense. The wonderful lodge-like structure is somewhat secluded on an island near Bocas Del Toro, It is only accessible by boat and most tours will pick you up at their dock. The English-speaking owner can help arrange this. They have a sweet dog that bonds quickly to guests, but is not intrusive. Love this place!!!

What a wonderful stay. We had only booked 2 nights, but extended to 5 nights. The hospitality was amazing, Natalie, Jean, Anna, and Arturo were wonderful. The daily breakfast was appreciated, as was the wonderful dinner. There were 2-3 options each night. Kayaks, SUP, and snorkeling gear were provided Do not hesitate in booking this property.

We are so happy we stayed at Akwaba Lodge. The grounds are well maintained and we had opportunity to walk around and explore. We loved and appreciated the home made meals, breakfast to get us going with fresh homemade bread and jams. Then dinners, with a couple options to choose from, were delicious. We felt like we were part of the family dining there. The room had all we needed and was cleaned daily. We enjoyed some time just sitting at the table outside our room or relaxing in the hammocks. Easy access to the dock for excursions and adventures. Natali and Jean-Christian were helpful with any of our questions, were happy to help plan activities, and even took us on a little jungle tour out back, where we saw sloths, red tree frogs and so many varieties of fruit trees! Would not hesitate to stay here again.

An amazing stay, facilitated by fabulous hosts. The hosts began communicating about our upcoming stay several weeks in advance to arrange transportation to the property. We were met at the airport and taken to the lodge. The jungle house is very nice, well equipped with internet, kitchen, fan, full screen for an open air experience. Each morning and afternoon we were greeted by the sounds of birds. Unless you travel to another island you are limited to preparing your own dinner, or enjoying the reasonably priced and delicious selections each evening at the lodge. The provided breakfasts were wonderful, and reasonably priced upgrades are available. The hosts were always available, and it was quick and easy to communicate via WhatsApp. Arranging dinner, water taxi rides or excursions. Depending upon your room location there can be a number of stairs. Internet works okay, but would not be great if you need consistent high speed. Why would you want to be on the internet working, rather than enjoying the island life. LTE phone service is consistent. The screens and fan keep the room comfortable. Taxi’s to other islands are $5 to $10 per person each way. We enjoyed the quiet and natural feeling of this island, and traveled on excursions daily. We can’t wait to return!

Refused to allow us to arrive early stating they did not have space - simply not true..it is a very large compound with many places to hang out. They need more staff - the owners are working too hard and seemed burned out.

I loved the privacy and peaceful nature of Akwaba lodge. Natali and family were wonderful hosts. Breakfast was superb! Really enjoyed spending my 30th here. They left me a little birthday gift which was a lovely. It was really clean and comfortable. We even got to go kayaking and paddle boarding with no extra charge! I would stay here again. Highly recommend. Thank you!

The good and the bad

The French couple that ran the hotel were super very helpful and very nice. There was no menu there was one choice for dinner and that was a problem for me. The desserts were wonderful. I walk with a cane and going upstairs to the lodge there was no handrail, but they had an employee help me up and handle my luggage. I was eaten up by bug bites and I requested another fan at night time and they were very accommodating.

Il est des endroits que l’on n’a pas envie de quitter. L’endroit est magnifique, et les hôtes absolument charmants, toujours à l’écoute et aux petits soins, avec une attention sincère et discrète qui fait toute la différence. Les chambres sont superbes, confortables et décorées avec goût. Tout est pensé pour que l’on se sente bien, accueilli presque comme à la maison. Une parenthèse hors du temps, que l’on quitte à regret… et avec l’envie certaine de revenir.

¡Gran opción para quedarse en Bocas del Toro! Queda un poco trasmano del centro, pero en lancha se llega a todos lados, es una excelente opción para pasar unas vacaciones increíbles y disfrutar de la naturaleza! Hay muchos peces en los muelles para hacer snorkel y te prestan el equipo y kayaks para usar a tu antojo. Muy recomendable.

Franchement top! 👌

Dès l'arrivée, un accueil personnalisé par Nathalie. Nous avions pour nos 3 nuits une "cabane" vue sur la mer des Caraïbes tout confort et à vrai dire incroyable ! En ce qui concerne les repas au restaurant une ambiance familiale très apaisante, et que dire de la qualité des repas tout juste franchement délicieux ! Sur l'ensemble de notre parcours à travers le Panama c'est là où nous avons le mieux mangé sans aucun doute ! La mer accessible à différents endroits, mise à disposition de canoë, padel, matériel de snorkeling etc. Les propriétaires sont vraiment d'une gentillesse infinie.
