“I felt as if I was in a better, more authentic version of Bora Bora staying here.”
EXCELLENT Based on 187 reviews Posted on Shane MVerified First day at Sol!! Wonderful first day in our bungalow over the water. We mainly stayed at our room since it has all we need. We can swim around the man made reefs, lounge on the massive deck with its most comfortable chairs or relax in the catamaran net over the water. Our evening dinner was amazing where Kiki and Drew described each course in wonderful detail. All was perfect!!Posted on saalfeldk68Verified Beautiful Bungalows The bungalows are very nice. Drew was outstanding and Kiki was so nice. The breakfasts were always excellent. The fact that they can book your water taxis and any excursions is a plus. Eddie with the dolphin, sloth and starfish excursion was great.Posted on Angel TVerified A dream vacation and bucket list I surprised my wife with this beautiful place for her 50th birthday . From the very beginning, Drew, Kiki, and the staff welcomed us with a beautiful decorated room and surprised my wife with a beautiful gluten free cake. My wife has celiac and you can tell Sol bungalow was constantly checking to make sure everything was gluten free for my wife. They made changes to the meal to meet her dietary restrictions. The food is incredible, we are big foodies and this place makes you feel like you are at a Michelin restaurant! Presentation is great and is only surpassed by how delicious every dinner is! The rooms are a dream come true! It was great to snorkel right off of the bungalow deck and under the bungalow. Such a cool experience! We saw lots of beautiful fish. If you ever wanted to stay over the water in a bungalow- please come here!! You can tell Sol Bungalow put a lot of thought into the rooms and property- it is breathtaking! We are telling all are family and friends about this beautiful, one of a kind, bucket list places! We hope to be back!!Posted on forensicgrrlVerified Paradise on Isla Solarte Sol Bungalows is AMAZING and I can't wait to book another trip here. Right off the bat, communication was excellent with Drew immediately emailing to confirm and providing a list of potential activities; and confirming again a week prior to our arrival with directions and recommendations of how much cash to bring since the water taxis only take cash. Upon arrival, we were met by Kiki who showed us to our room, gave us instructions on various things and brought a most delicious welcome drink. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and housekeeping appears to be provided by a ninja as we'd leave for the delicious and healthy breakfast (included) on site and come back to an immaculate room. You can snorkel outside the room and see a ton of fish, kayak (2 person kayaks), or use a paddle board, and they have yoga mats for some morning sun salutations. You can also do a local island tour with one of the locals for a small additional fee, where he pointed out numerous red, orange, and black frogs, and looked for sloths and other wildlife. You can have dinner at the restaurant and they'll tell you the menu in the morning. They try to sustain the restaurant with food from the farm and it is delicious. Drew and Kiki will call to arrange tours with local guides, so no need to prepurchase anything from the vendors in town. You can drink the water as well, so no need to buy bottled water, but definitely bring some snacks since there are no stores on the island. Rooms include a snorkel mask and beach towel, mini fridge, shampoo/body wash and conditoner. The only issue we had is not wanting to leave.Posted on Cathal JVerified Splurge and stay here! From the minute we booked, everything has been perfect. Drew and his team have maintained constant communication by email and given really useful tips on getting here, carrying small notes for the water taxis, so many activities and their home cooked menu options. Sol Bungalows are easy to get to in Bocas and Kiki was here to welcome us with a short tour, welcome drink and the ground rules. We have access to paddleboards, kayaks and snorkelling gear from our house. We're in the mango bungalow and it's fantastic with a private pier, underwater lighting to see the fish at night, a hammock and catamaran net, huge comfy bed, outdoor shower and so much more. Everything small detail has been thought of. The WiFi is also excellent! Bocas town is 10minutes away and easily accessible for nightlife and places to eat. We can't say enough positive comments about Sol Bungalows and the touches they put together for our honeymoon. It's only a shame we stayed for 3nights; we wish it was much longer!Posted on Philip DVerified Best Bungalows in Bocas!! The bungalows are so thoughtfully designed from functionality and sustainability perspective. Not to mention beautiful! Every dinner we had was delicious with produce sourced from their farm. All of the staff was so willing to help with anything we needed. Drew was a huge help coordinating amazing tours for us to enjoy despite the spotty weather. We loved our stay and would highly recommend to anyone visiting Bocas!Posted on Mauro dVerified El mejor lugar en solarte, bocas de toro Impresionante! Extraordinario! Desde que llegas hasta que termina lamentablemente. Drew gracias por preparnos todo para nuestra luna de miel!Posted on Jacob VVerified Magical Honeymoon Experience Sol Bungalows was exactly the paradise my wife and I were looking for on our honeymoon! From the moment we checked in, we were treated like family, and every experience we had during our stay was filled with intentionality. Drew and Kiki were fabulous and they work hard to ensure that all your needs and requests are accommodated. We loved how nearly everything we ate there was locally sourced - you MUST eat breakfast and dinner there! Additional experiences booked through Sol were great as well, but we would have been content just staying in our bungalow the whole time - it was just spectacular.Posted on Camper19383559331Verified Magical place We had a wonderful stay at Sol Bungalows. The bungalow is perfect. Every detail is taken care of. Drew, Kiki and the rest of the staff are really kind. A warm cup of tea in the morning on the terrace of the bungalow, foodsuggestions for my wife who was a bit ill. Really toughtful! Hopefully we come here again 🤩Posted on Cristian Medina PVerified Un paraíso en Bocas del Toro La vista es increíble, los bungalows A1 todo muy bien cuidado y en una zona tranquila y aparte la atención de Drew excelente, siempre atento y amable a nuestras dudas.
