“I felt as if I was in a better, more authentic version of Bora Bora staying here.”
EXCELLENT Based on 276 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor Gabriella GVerified Value exceeded expectations Amazing experience! It was such a great hotel, with so much care and attention from the staff. They helped organize all of our activities. Not to mention that the food was amazing.Posted on Tripadvisor Andrea PVerified Magnífico, volvería sin dudarlo La habitación preciosa, Andrew el dueño un encanto y kiki la encargada de cocina también. En general fue una de experiencia maravillosa siempre súper atentos y el trato magnífico La comida espectacularPosted on Tripadvisor Trail36018494679Verified Un lugar para volver ¡Una estancia espectacular en Isla Solarte! Los bungalows sobre el agua son una auténtica pasada y ofrecen una exclusividad insuperable en la zona. El entorno es perfecto para desconectar de verdad y tienes acceso directo a una vida marina increíble nada más saltar al agua. Un lugar de 10 si quieres huir de las masas y disfrutar del paraíso caribeño al máximo. ¡Totalmente recomendado!"Posted on Tripadvisor Danielle KVerified BEST EXPERIENCE! I stayed here for 3 nights and 4 days, and after traveling all around the world, I can honestly say this has been one of my favorite experiences ever. From the moment you arrive and are greeted, everything feels so personal, thoughtful, and tailored to you. The rooms are beautiful, and every detail has been carefully considered and feels completely unique. The location right on the water is absolutely lovely—you can swim, explore the coral, or simply relax on the porch and take it all in. Drew and the team make THE BEST breakfasts and dinners. Everything is organic, locally sourced, and brought fresh from the farm to the table. The food was absolutely incredible, and every meal felt like an experience in itself. We also had the best couples massage at the hotel. The team helped us plan where to go and what to see, arranged taxis, and took care of every little detail. Everything is so unique and completely focused on the guest experience. Kiki, the manager, is so much fun and genuinely cares about every guest. She will ask how you slept, how your day was, and take the time to talk to everyone and make sure they are happy and taken care of. You can truly feel how much she and the entire team care about creating a special experience. What a beautiful place and such a beautiful team of people. This has been one of the best experiences of my life. The highlight of Bocas del Toro isn't just Bocas del Toro—it's Sol Bungalows.Posted on Tripadvisor BarrysmomVerified Amazing holiday at Sol Bungalows! When we booked sol bungalows we did so for the experience of an over water bungalow. What we didn’t realize when we booked was that everything else would be just as fabulous. Our day started with coffee in bed. There is no better way then to start a day sipping delicous coffee over looking the ocean and boats passing by. The food was excellent, organic and much home grown. Every course was well thought out, the perfect quantity and delicous! Everything we wanted the bungalows had, or drew and Kiki would arrange for us. Kayaking, paddle boards, snorkels were all at our disposal. Recommendations for daily activities or excursions were always offered! We expected a place to stay… we did not expect the top notch hospitality that is so hard to find! This will be a trip and experience that we will recommend for many years to come!Posted on Tripadvisor Margreet RVerified Geweldig! Super mooie bungalows. Binnen 5 minuten ben met de watertaxi in Bocas Town. Ze helpen je met regelen van excursies, watertaxi’s of wat dan ook wanneer je dat wilt. Eten was heerlijk!Posted on Tripadvisor Jimena DVerified Un lugar increíble en Bocas del Toro Nuestra experiencia en Sol Bungalows fue increíble. Las habitaciones son muy lindas, incluso superaron nuestras expectativas y son mejor que en las fotos El alojamiento cuenta con kayaks, tablas de paddle y equipos de snorkel, lo que hace que la experiencia sea aún mejor, La terraza de cada bungalow es muy cómoda y tiene acceso directo al mar, perfecto para disfrutar. La atención de todo el equipo fue excelente. Siempre estuvieron atentos a cualquier requerimiento, nos ayudaron a organizar los tours y nos dieron muy buenas recomendaciones sobre lugares para visitar y dónde comer. Los desayunos son deliciosos, frescos y nutritivos, preparados con ingredientes cultivados en su propia finca, lo que les da un toque único. Sin duda, es un lugar al que volveríamos y que recomendamos totalmente.Posted on Tripadvisor Nico PVerified Beautiful location and amazing service in Bocas del Toro It was an incredible location and experience. The service was only matched by the cleanliness and beauty of the Bungalows.Posted on Tripadvisor M AVerified WE WANNA GO BAAAAAACK! This place was the absolute best of the best. From the ocean-view windows in the floor to the breezy fans and yummy food set upon the perfect location, this place was a paradise. Kiki and Drew go above and beyond to be welcoming and helpful (The one day they don't serve dinner, they hooked us up with a place that delivers pizza via speedboat!) We went with our two kids and they also had a blast. We SUP'd right outside the back porch, kayaked and just had a ton of splashy fun in the ocean. I wish we had stayed a few extra nights and we yearn to go back! Side note: we were concerned about the weather in July, so I kept looking for July reviews before we booked. Having gone that month, I can say, worth it! Go! Rainy, but rain dissipates daily and there is plenty of fun to be had. We give it 1,000 out of 100.Posted on Tripadvisor Danielle BVerified Amazing friends and family vacation We just got home from our trip to Panama where we stayed several nights at the Sol bungalows. Not only was it as amazing as the pictures, it was a step above. From the communication before with Drew to Kiki helping us each day it was such an effortless vacation. We went as a group of three families and they were able to accommodate us perfectly as a group of 10 people. Several of us got massages right on the porch of the bungalow that Kiki arranged for us as well. I highly recommend making this a stop on your panama vacation! We travel often all over the world and this was one of the most unique places we have stayed.
