Red Frog Beach Island Resort

Our jungle lodge was a nicely appointed glamping adventure. We loved our private deck to watch monkeys and birds. Inside, you could hear wildlife 24/7, and we loved it. The bedding was comfortable, and all basic kitchen and bathroom amenities were provided. We had a couple little critters (lizard and giant green grasshopper) join us inside, but it didn’t bother us, the air conditioning and fans were powerful, and we felt very comfortable. We enjoyed seeing our first lion fish and flat fish snorkeling off polo beach. We visited the red frog beach club for food and drinks, especially seated under the palapas to read all day against the sound of the waves. Highly recommend renting the golf cart, everything is very spread out! 2-3 nights here was perfect.

What an amazing experience! My wife and I would go back in a heartbeat. We stayed in the Jungle Villas and were constantly amazed by all the wildlife around us. The Villas are well appointed and you could hear the sounds of the jungle and waves crashing at night. The staff was absolutely amazing and friendly. We had a blast interacting with them and visiting. We typically communicated with the front desk via WhatsApp and they were always responsive. While you are there, make sure you check out Polo’s beach, not far away. The staff can get you to within a 10 minute walk by golf cart. Buy a couple of beer from Polo and find your own secluded patch of sand to enjoy. While on the resort property, we saw monkeys, sloths, red frogs, and all types of birds. We even heard night monkeys on our roof at night. Red Frog is also a great base to explore the rest of the area. Don’t be afraid to take water taxis back and forth to Bocas Town and Old Town as the taxis themselves are a great experience. The staff at Red Frog is always happy to arrange transportation. Make sure you make the trek to Zapatilla Island while you are there. Try some snorkeling as well. Enjoy the local culture, food, and people. They are very friendly and proud of their home! I would highly recommend Red Frog Resort to anyone!

Remote resort that you need to take a water taxi(charge of $8 per ride) to get to. Resort needs updating in their accommodations as they are in need of updating and repairs. The location is stunning and amazing. Oliver and the staff were excellent in helping us with some of the issues (plumbing in one villa). Highlights were seeing the sloths, monkeys, red frogs and many birds. Purchasing groceries in Bocas del Tora prior to getting on the water taxi is more economical and greater variety than the little store at the resort. Restaurant at resort Rosa was good, also two restaurants that are a 10 minute walk down the beach. Main beach was red flagged for our stay but there is another beach (Polo beach) you can walk to that is secluded and beautiful. Snorkelling here would have been amazing. Shuttle service was great to get us around resorts staff were also so helpful in pointing out wildlife and answering questions. Most spoke English but many spoke only Spanish.

We visited Red Frog Beach Resort in Panama to celebrate our anniversary and our daughter’s 30th birthday, and the experience was absolutely amazing. We stayed in a jungle cabin that was adorable, thoughtfully designed, and had everything we needed in one perfect little space. Each morning, we enjoyed a cup of locally grown coffee while watching the ocean waves from our deck—pure magic. The entire resort is beautifully laid out and incredibly peaceful. Even while fully enjoying all it has to offer, it never once felt crowded. One of our favorite daily activities was walking to the beach and spotting monkeys and sloths in the trees along the way. There were endless excursions to choose from, and the staff went above and beyond to help arrange everything seamlessly. The spa experience deserves special mention—it was truly magical. Having a massage under a waterfall was serene, relaxing, and unforgettable. The highlight of our vacation, though, was the extraordinary kindness of Oliver and his team. They helped us surprise our daughter with a fully decorated cabin and an incredible birthday dinner prepared by the resort chef himself. It was thoughtful, beautifully done, and meant the world to our family. We cannot wait to return to Red Frog Beach Resort. It was a trip we’ll treasure forever.

Raul and Rafael were amazing at the La Rosa Beach Club. Jimmy plays fun local music that makes you want to get up and dance. We had an amazing romantic dinner on the beach with Ribeye and Fresh Snapper. We highly suggest booking a delish dinner here or even coming by for a few drinks. Everyone is so friendly and sweet!

Amazing experience. Great food, Beautiful location. The beach club was very nice with great food. We had the romantic dinner at the beach and loved it! Raul and Jommy were super friendly. All the staff at Red Frog was very accommodating and fun to talk to.

The highlight of staying at Red Frog is the wildlife! We saw the best sloths, red frogs, capuchin monkeys just outside our villa by the pool and tons of great birds. The villa was clean and well appointed. Unless you have kids that can't make it down to the main area, I'd probably skip paying extra for the private pool, it was pretty tiny and underwhelming. The staff was kind and responsive. It was a pretty rainy stay and they were able to give us golf cart rides with decent timeliness whenever we called. The food was unfortunately average at best, and pretty pricey for the area. I recommend seeking other restaurants, Nacho Mama's a short walk down the beach was a fun stop. Although we were never communicated with ahead with the resort about it, a shuttle met us at the airport and also took us to a water taxi to get to the resort. While this was convenient, we didn't ask for it and it ended up being an expensive convenience billed at the end of our stay that somewhat blindsided us. It would have been nice for that to be more transparent.

We were looking forward to a luxurious stay at a remote tropical island. It did not quite meet our expectations. Our experience was coloured by nonstop rain (do NOT go in December even though rainy season is supposed to wind down by then). The place is in a beautiful spot, but it is hard to get to and the custom boat ride provided by the resort people is overpriced. The resort is understaffed (took 1.5 hours to check in) - they provide a WhatsApp contact for transportation around the resort but answer every 4-5 messages). However the most positive part of this place is the people - they are very attentive and wonderful when you get their attention - especially Sergio, Kenny and Oliver who went above and beyond. Need more people like them! The resort looks aged, the villas are spacious but not modern, layout is awkward and there is inconsistent cleaning service. The restaurant food is mediocre at best, but the bar has a nice vibe. The beach chairs are old uncomfortable plastic chairs and there is not much of a beach ‘club’. Also for such a huge property there should be a gym. Recognizing that this review is mostly negative, on the day of our departure the sun finally came out and clearly we would have enjoyed a lot more that this island and resort has to offer if we had better weather. The beach is gorgeous and the nearby islands are supposed to be beautiful. To make the most of this unique location the red frog needs to make some improvements - especially if they want to continue to call themselves ‘5 star’.

Rooms are clean but very basic. Way too expensive for what it is. Restaurant in the resort is horrible. Very normal food but had to wait 2 hours for the food to come to the table from time we ordered. This is not a resort just few villas and apartments rented out individually which are located far from the reception and they charged us 100 dollars per day for the golf cart. Beach is very normal. We stayed in a lot of hotels in this price range all over the world but with amenities and service matching the price. This one is too basic for the price. And the worst thing is the concierge Oliver told us that there are no boats available to book our tour and suggested we share a boat ride with another family but they charged us more than the private tour price they initially quoted from our enquiry during booking.

Beatiful, altough very very remote. Perfect place to relax! Congrats Dan and the whole team! Love the place. Not sure what I can add to fill the 200 characters..............................................
