Red Frog Beach Island Resort

Wow, what a beautifully, remote, jungle oasis! We were traveling with our young adult children and could not have had a better time! The two bedroom villa over delivered honestly. Washer and dryer fully equipped kitchen plunge pool that was really almost like a pool, beautiful marble throughout. We saw sloth up close, white faced monkeys so many beautiful birds. The wildlife blew us away. Sergio was fantastic and do not miss out on the opportunity to have a spa treatment!

This place is so beautiful. It is right on the ocean and has many different places you can access it as well as several pools. The food is very good as well and there are other restaurants close by if you wanted to switch it up. There is wildlife everywhere, we saw several sloths each day as well as baby sloths, and they are low in the trees so easily seen. We also saw monkeys, crabs, several different birds, lots of fish. The villas are also very very nice and clean, and in beautiful locations. It’s is overall an amazing property and the staff are all so kind and care about your experience, they also are so willing to point out different animals to you, excursions, and beaches to visit.

My travel companion booked this place and it was worth the travel from Panama City -plane, van, boat) short trips so instead of getting bored, each trip brings you to a more interesting scene. The island is quiet with plenty of wildlife. A two bedroom villa with all the amenities including a pool is just what we needed to relax our nerves. This is a 600 hectare facility with a beautiful beach. There is a free golf cart service to help you go around, a grocery and several restaurants on the beach.

We visited the resort on a day pass. After being shuttled from the dock to beach area, we had our pick of seating and the beach to ourselves. The water was amazing and the waves were so much fun to swim in. The beach itself is immaculately maintained and was wonderful to walk along. We ordered meals, drinks and desserts during our stay, and all were excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

We loved our stay at this hotel it was very beautiful. We found it a bit tough getting back to our jungle lodge at night. The mountainous terrain was difficult to climb and when we called for shuttles they did not always come quickly. If I knew the terrain I would have tried to book a pricey golf cart for the week. By the time we caught on there were none available and we had to rely on the resort for transport. Not always a great option.

Absolutely wonderful resort in the middle of nature. The architecture of the place does not disturb the original jungle. The distribution of each room, house, and lodge is so well done that you feel alone in the jungle. The beaches and common areas are beautiful, and the staff is very kind and attentive. Additionally, the supermarket inside the resort offers a great variety, reasonable prices, and everything you need to cook your meal if you rent one of the houses. Excellent choice for a different vacation with the family.

The resort is stunning with a beautiful beach, and the staff, including the golf cart drivers, were amazing and friendly. The resort is large, so you’ll need to call for a golf cart, but they arrive quickly. The on-site supermarket is very overpriced, and the service there was lacking, although we learned it’s not part of the resort. The WiFi worked well in the villa, restaurant, and even some parts of the beach. While the atmosphere during the day was great with music and friendly beach staff, we were disappointed by the lunch and dinner at the restaurant, though breakfast was good. Since the sunset is early, evenings were a bit dull, and we would have liked some evening entertainment. Overall, it’s a great place to relax, but a few improvements could make it even better!

What ever you do if you go to Bocas del Toro please please do yourself a favor and do not waste a dollar on this place. From the moment we stepped on to the dock for the resort we knew this was not what we had excepted. The deck was weather beaten and in some level of disrepair. The only reason this place gets one star is that the reception staff and golf cart shuttle drivers were pleasant and mostly helpful. The room was without adequate clothing storage, insufficient amenities as simple as bottled water, salt and pepper. Additionally, the cooling system directly over the bed leaked water our first night. To their credit it was repaired the next day plus the room was actually serviced that day as well. NO service was provided the remaining days of our stay. Our dinner at La Rosa the first night was awful !!! Worst hamburger I have ever eaten. The place was completely empty at 7-7:30. On Red Frog Beach itself no amenities like lounge chairs nor food/beverage. There was an old broken down bar facility that looked like it hadn't been in use in years. We had to walk down the beach to Palmar Beach for food and lounge chairs (which cost $10). This was courtesy of Palmar Lodge, a neighboring property. Last, this was no budget level room rate. It was $500/night. I am embarrassed to have paid so much.

No staff. Food horrible. Vila leaked in rain.

Very disappointed with the concierge service. The zip line was closed. You said there was no surfing and in fact there was surfing on the island. The beach bar was closed and a honeymoon suite to me should be nicer than what it was. We left a message for our pick up to go to the airport at 9:30. We had to call at 9:35 to remind you to pick us up. Some messages sent were not responded to. overall it was pretty disappointing. The staff we did meet were wonderful and very, very nice
