What guests think
At Red Frog Beach Island Resort, travelers describe a stunning, quiet jungle-beach setting with abundant wildlife and generally very friendly, helpful staff, but note the large, hilly layout means relying on golf carts or shuttles to get around.
Spacious villas and condos with private pools and ocean views earn praise, while basic jungle lodges and occasional maintenance issues or mismatched amenities lead to mixed room experiences. Dining feedback is inconsistent: breakfast and some meals are good, but lunch or dinner can be slow or mediocre, options are limited, and the on-site market feels expensive. Facilities impress with beautiful beaches, a popular spa, and helpful water-taxi support, yet travelers report periodic closures (pools, zipline, venues) and variable shuttle wait times. Expect a serene, nature-focused stay with standout staff and uneven amenities.

Facilities
Beautiful beach setting with a well-liked spa, helpful water-taxi support, and golf-cart/ride service for the large, hilly property. Some facilities face periodic closures (pools, zipline, venues), shuttle waits can occur, and the on-site market’s availability and value vary.

Total paradise! I stayed here with my husband and two young children (ages 3 & 7). We were upgraded from our two bedroom accommodation to a three bedroom villa with private pool. The accommodation was beautiful, well maintained, have a fantastic ocean view, and was absolutely perfect for our family! The resort shuttle came promptly to pick us up when we requested it. The staff were always extremely helpful from booking water taxis to delivering dinner to us via their golf cart shuttle. I could go on forever about this resort! The beach was beautiful, the waves were huge! I did read about strong riptides, and kept my small children close to me and near the shore and didn't have any issues. Such a wonderful paradise. I strongly recommend staying here!

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!

The villa we stayed in was beautiful, spacious and the grounds were stunning and super private. Full of wildlife! The whole Red Frog area was amazing if you like a VERY quiet, subdued vacation. There is no shopping, not even a gift shop, and very few restaurants which are also often closed. This was an adjustment but we loved the atmosphere and lack of crowds/commercialization. We were oddly "upgraded" to a 3br villa for no apparent reason. I'm not sure if it was actually an upgrade as we didn't need 3 bedrooms. The one thing that really bothered all of us was the incredibly hard beds. I mean ROCK hard! My husband and I weren't able to sleep well the whole trip which really made it hard to enjoy our time. We're also not used to sleeping in a queen size bed. The descriptions of the amenities online are very misleading. They seem to lay out the facts of one villa, when in reality, each villa is completely different. The description online said there were 3 br, 4 ba. It said there was a king size bed in the master, and another bedroom that had 2 twin beds - these were 2 things very important to us. When we arrived there were 2 br with queen beds and 1br with a twin bed, and only 2 bathrooms. They really need to change the online information to be accurate. At the time of our visit the island was in a drought so water was sometimes off. Also, the pools were only filled about 3/4 full and some not at all. Our private pool was HOT and really needed cleaned by the 3rd day.

Red frog and the staff were excellent, we loved our stay and would be happy to come back. The only reason we give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because a good amount of amenities were closed : the pool, zipline, one of the restaurants, and the market. The staff did a good job making up for these closures, they were amazing! But if you’re booked for these you may want to be aware before you arrive.

This was an amazing resort. The spa was the ultimate rainforest treat. I enjoyed a fantastic massage while immersed in the sounds of the rainforest. We enjoyed zip lining with our son. It was one of the best zip lining courses we have experienced around the world. The food at the main restaurant La Rosa was mediocre. But the El Palmar resort restaurant next door offered great food.

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.

Great se luded place with an amazing beach. Our pool light was not working and they offered to change our villa (which we were very confortable) and since we refused they borrowed the golf cart instead for the full stay. Friendly staff and beach club. A bit far from the main village if you plan to go there for dinners, but there are 4 restaurants accesible and a market

I have mixed feeling about this place. I have to give low scores to cleanliness and services because the toilet was yellowish. This should be a big no!no! to any guests. It took us almost 14 hours to get instructions to use wifi and drinking water situation. The restaurant experience at La Rosa, however, was very pleasant. Food was delicious and never failed to impress us. Staff were very accommodating. View there was amazing!

This property is very big and so beautiful. The buildings have been situated so well that most of the time you feel like you are alone in the jungle. The villas are amazing! We had so much space and such high quality finishes. The private pools were kept clean and were just what you need in Panama. The staff was so accommodating. You could send a message on WhatsApp and they would help you out. We are pretty fit and did a lot of walking up and down to our villa at the very top of the site and enjoyed it very much, but if you text them, they will bring a small truck or a golf cart to drive you wherever you want to go. They arrange for launchas for you and you can visit other islands or BastiTown. This was the surprise hit of our amazing trip! I so wanted to see a sloth in its habitat and we did see a few as we wandered, but the highlight was when one chose to sleep in the tree right next to our villa. Also, so many red frogs if you take some of the unpaved paths near the beach.

It is a true paradise. For the most part the staff was amazing and happy to help. Unfortunately, the staff Rosa beach club for dinner was very slow. We loved the Villa, but unfortunately, it does require a lot of maintenance (windows handles falling off, taps falling off, dripping faucet etc). Overall, we loved everything, and will definitely conciser coming back.

Total paradise! I stayed here with my husband and two young children (ages 3 & 7). We were upgraded from our two bedroom accommodation to a three bedroom villa with private pool. The accommodation was beautiful, well maintained, have a fantastic ocean view, and was absolutely perfect for our family! The resort shuttle came promptly to pick us up when we requested it. The staff were always extremely helpful from booking water taxis to delivering dinner to us via their golf cart shuttle. I could go on forever about this resort! The beach was beautiful, the waves were huge! I did read about strong riptides, and kept my small children close to me and near the shore and didn't have any issues. Such a wonderful paradise.

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.

Høy standard, svært serviceminded. Vi ble tatt imot på en flott måte. God informasjon i forkant både med transport og egen hjemmeside. Fin liten butikk ved resepsjonen. Hyggelig bar ved pool området. Restauranten får litt fratrekk. Både treg service og ikke veldig imponert over maten. Vi hadde en større villa med havutsikt som vi trivdes veldig i. Et stort pluss var at etter oppholdet, tok resepsjonen kontakt og informerte om at de hadde trukket et beløp 2 ganger. Dette hadde vi ikke oppdaget selv. Slik ærlighet viser sterk proffesjonalitet og service. Under vårt opphold, falt en usikret tv i i gulvet som ikke var festet.

The villa we stayed in was beautiful, spacious and the grounds were stunning and super private. Full of wildlife! The whole Red Frog area was amazing if you like a VERY quiet, subdued vacation. There is no shopping, not even a gift shop, and very few restaurants which are also often closed. This was an adjustment but we loved the atmosphere and lack of crowds/commercialization. We were oddly "upgraded" to a 3br villa for no apparent reason. I'm not sure if it was actually an upgrade as we didn't need 3 bedrooms. The one thing that really bothered all of us was the incredibly hard beds. I mean ROCK hard! My husband and I weren't able to sleep well the whole trip which really made it hard to enjoy our time. We're also not used to sleeping in a queen size bed. The descriptions of the amenities online are very misleading. They seem to lay out the facts of one villa, when in reality, each villa is completely different. The description online said there were 3 br, 4 ba. It said there was a king size bed in the master, and another bedroom that had 2 twin beds - these were 2 things very important to us. When we arrived there were 2 br with queen beds and 1br with a twin bed, and only 2 bathrooms. They really need to change the online information to be accurate. At the time of our visit the island was in a drought so water was sometimes off. Also, the pools were only filled about 3/4 full and some not at all. Our private pool was HOT and really needed cleaned by the 3rd day.

This property is very big and so beautiful. The buildings have been situated so well that most of the time you feel like you are alone in the jungle. The villas are amazing! We had so much space and such high quality finishes. The private pools were kept clean and were just what you need in Panama. The staff was so accommodating. You could send a message on WhatsApp and they would help you out. We are pretty fit and did a lot of walking up and down to our villa at the very top of the site and enjoyed it very much, but if you text them, they will bring a small truck or a golf cart to drive you wherever you want to go. They arrange for launchas for you and you can visit other islands or BastiTown. This was the surprise hit of our amazing trip! I so wanted to see a sloth in its habitat and we did see a few as we wandered, but the highlight was when one chose to sleep in the tree right next to our villa. Also, so many red frogs if you take some of the unpaved paths near the beach.

It is a true paradise. For the most part the staff was amazing and happy to help. Unfortunately, the staff Rosa beach club for dinner was very slow. We loved the Villa, but unfortunately, it does require a lot of maintenance (windows handles falling off, taps falling off, dripping faucet etc). Overall, we loved everything, and will definitely conciser coming back.

First I need to clarify: Don't book the jungle lodges if you expect premium rooms. We made that mistake misled by the nice photos of the rooms. For a similar price choose the Lodges or Villas. We were so disappointed but the fantastic staff kindly moved us to a condo with views to the Ocean and gardens. That transformed our experience to a very pleasent nature fusion experience with 4* commodities. The resort is kind of in a transition phase and the restaurant upgraded the menu on our last day as part of their changes, which was much appreciated. The staff was wonderful all times! From the condo we could observe many species of birds and even a sloth. Monkeys and of course the red frogs are easy to spot. Areas of improvement, some the resort isplanning to do in near future include: - more eco-friendly engagements (stop plastic) - cleaning days of beach areas as an eco and learning experience (Panama infrastructures in terms of trash management are underdeveloped) - free boat shuttle to residents for more shopping and restaurant choices around Bocas Overall we had a great time and we are grateful for the way the team listened to our comments and did their best to make our stay a wonderful one.

I have mixed feeling about this place. I have to give low scores to cleanliness and services because the toilet was yellowish. This should be a big no!no! to any guests. It took us almost 14 hours to get instructions to use wifi and drinking water situation. The restaurant experience at La Rosa, however, was very pleasant. Food was delicious and never failed to impress us. Staff were very accommodating. View there was amazing!

We had a short but wonderful stay! The two concierges, Sergio and Stephanie could not have been more friendly and welcoming and both were extremely helpful in addressing every question and need we had. When we arrived, there was an issue with our room but they quickly addressed it offering a free upgrade and amenities to ensure our stay was as good if not better than what we had originally planned. Everything was lovely and we all had a wonderful time (family of 5)

The staff was so nice and made us feel very comfortable. I would definitely recommend this resort to anyone looking for a quiet and beautiful experience in Bocas.

Høy standard, svært serviceminded. Vi ble tatt imot på en flott måte. God informasjon i forkant både med transport og egen hjemmeside. Fin liten butikk ved resepsjonen. Hyggelig bar ved pool området. Restauranten får litt fratrekk. Både treg service og ikke veldig imponert over maten. Vi hadde en større villa med havutsikt som vi trivdes veldig i. Et stort pluss var at etter oppholdet, tok resepsjonen kontakt og informerte om at de hadde trukket et beløp 2 ganger. Dette hadde vi ikke oppdaget selv. Slik ærlighet viser sterk proffesjonalitet og service. Under vårt opphold, falt en usikret tv i i gulvet som ikke var festet. Også her var resorten svært proffesjonelle og viste stor forståelse for situasjonen. Anbefaler stedet på det sterkeste!

We especially liked the boat excursion the hotel booked for us, with our Captain Arturo, we toured one of the Zapatillo islands, snorkeled, saw a few dolphins, it was the highlight of our stay. The staff was overall awesome, they picked us up in the golf carts, they were friendly and polite. The rest of the Resort was alright, the restaurants were fine. The whole experience was pretty laid back if you don't expect attention immediately you'll like it ok. The place is so spread out a bit, but it's overall walkable, it seems like they are spread a bit thin for staff. Not a swimming beach area really.

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

Red frog and the staff were excellent, we loved our stay and would be happy to come back. The only reason we give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because a good amount of amenities were closed : the pool, zipline, one of the restaurants, and the market. The staff did a good job making up for these closures, they were amazing! But if you’re booked for these you may want to be aware before you arrive.

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!

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.

Friendly staff and beach club. A bit far from the main village if you plan to go there for dinners, but there are 4 restaurants accesible and a market

Dining
Feedback is inconsistent: breakfast and some meals are good, but lunch and dinner can be slow or mediocre; many preferred nearby El Palmar. Choice is limited on the island, and the market is pricey.

Loved the setting. Peaceful, quiet, beautiful surroundings. Lots of wildlife. Very comfortable lodgings. But it's not really a resort. It's a collection of villas, condos, and bungalows which are rented out. Still, a very nice place to stay. The staff was tremendous. Friendly, helpful, and always willing to go the extra mile. Restaurant food was good too. Don't miss the spa!

The place is amassing but even more amazing are the people, from Ana, to Sergio, Mario, Jose, Enrique, and practically everyone we encountered, they were all great the hospitality is second to none from all the places I have stayed at. The beaches are amazing; great food, great accommodations, nothing in this place is disappointing; everything is perfect. I will always stay here every time I return.

Then property is gorgeous. It is more spread out then I thought. The ride service on site is nice as the hills can be hard. The Food at the resort is acceptable but not great. The Plamer resort that is just a 5 minute walk.is much better. Overall it was a great place to stay.

This was an amazing resort. The spa was the ultimate rainforest treat. I enjoyed a fantastic massage while immersed in the sounds of the rainforest. We enjoyed zip lining with our son. It was one of the best zip lining courses we have experienced around the world. The food at the main restaurant La Rosa was mediocre. But the El Palmar resort restaurant next door offered great food.

We loved the villa. We think the eating facilities, beach club and The Point Restaurant need a lot of improvement.

Overall, we had a lovely stay and greatly enjoyed the beauty of the property. The staff was amazing, very friendly and accommodating. A little slow in the dining room at times. Would’ve been nice to have a little music or some small entertainment in the evenings. The only unfortunate thing was that my husband tripped over rebar that was hard to detect in our backyard and got a nasty gash on his leg.

First I need to clarify: Don't book the jungle lodges if you expect premium rooms. We made that mistake misled by the nice photos of the rooms. For a similar price choose the Lodges or Villas. We were so disappointed but the fantastic staff kindly moved us to a condo with views to the Ocean and gardens. That transformed our experience to a very pleasent nature fusion experience with 4* commodities. The resort is kind of in a transition phase and the restaurant upgraded the menu on our last day as part of their changes, which was much appreciated. The staff was wonderful all times! From the condo we could observe many species of birds and even a sloth. Monkeys and of course the red frogs are easy to spot. Areas of improvement, some the resort isplanning to do in near future include: - more eco-friendly engagements (stop plastic) - cleaning days of beach areas as an eco and learning experience (Panama infrastructures in terms of trash management are underdeveloped) - free boat shuttle to residents for more shopping and restaurant choices around Bocas Overall we had a great time and we are grateful for the way the team listened to our comments and did their best to make our stay a wonderful one.

We stayed for four nights in the jungle lodge with ocean view. The lodge and view were excellent. The lodge is rustic but comfortable, with excellent air conditioning, clean bedrooms and bathroom. We got a kick out of the outdoor showers! The staff were helpful and attentive, however, the primary way of communicating is via WhatsApp and the responsiveness and clarity could use improvement. The pool, beach and zipline are all worthwhile experiences. The hotel staff will help you reserve excursions as well. The resort is sprawling and getting around can be somewhat of an ordeal unless you reserve your own golf cart.

The resort was wonderful! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The jungle lodges had everything you needed, along with the restaurant and small grocery store on the property. The location is top notch, allowing you access to both the beaches and rainforest. Another perk is that the location is close to a couple of other excellent beach restaurants. Most importantly, the massage at the spa was AMAZING!

My family of 4 had a lovely time at red frog beach. It was pricier than other hotels, but so glad we did this anyway! It is a higher end resort and our villa was incredible. I highly recommend this property.
