Akwaba Lodge

Un espacio y entorno precioso y la atención de Natalie y Arturo no pudo ser mejor. Los desayunos y las cenas con comida local han sido fantásticos. Hemos disfrutado mucho nuestros dias, esperamos volver pronto!

Personal and frniendly approch from host Natalie who was very kind and helpful. Delicious and freshlyprepared food. Quiet and beautiful hotel surroundings.

We loved our stay in Akwaba Lodge! Natali and JC are fantastic hosts and it really is a family affair! We ate well, slept well and enjoyed the wonderful surroundings including the delights of Red Frog Beach, Isla Zapatillas and many more spots! Nothing was too much trouble for the team there, to help us make a memorable stay for our family. The lashing rain on the way back to catch the plane was memorable, laughable and made for that extra layer of goodness :-). Thanks again to all for a wonderful nature, food and fun filled time.

Akwaba Lodge was wonderful in all aspects. An absolutely beautiful property, and Our room was very clean and comfortable and had everything we n

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!!!

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.

Hôtes exceptionnels à l'écoute de nos besoins! Un endroit et des hôtes au delà de nos attentes! Un gros merci à Natali et Jean-Christian! De plus les hôtes sont parfaitement trilingue!

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.

We booked two nights and we were soo happy there that we added two more nights. It's surronded by the sea with a nice garden, hammocks at thesea, very calm and beautiful views and sunsets. Occasionally they get visited by different wildlife like sloths, toucans, small sharks etc. (unfortunately we didn't see them). Be aware that you can only get there by water taxi (10$ per person from Bocas town) and there's no possibilty to buy food. But you don't need that anyways, because you'll get a rich breakfast and you can dinner at the lodge. You will also get provided drinking water. Natali and her crew are excellent cooks! They are very friendly in general, take care with the environment and will be happy to help you if you have some questions or you would like to book a tour or water taxi (we can highly recommend the snorkeling tour to Islas Zapatillas with their friends). There's a small reef right at the dock where you can snorkel (gear provided for free) and we saw lots of starfish there. There are also some kayaks available for free, for example to paddle over to Isla Bastimentos or just to the mangroves in the next bay. If you're looking for a beautiful place to calm down and still have the opportunity for some adventures, we can highly recommend staying at Akwaba Lodge!

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.
