“I felt as if I was in a better, more authentic version of Bora Bora staying here.”
EXCELLENT Based on 223 reviews Posted on Kevin FVerified Excellent time Drew and Kiki make sure that everyone is well taken care of. They helped arrange our excursions right down to the water taxis. The rooms are spacious and are extremely well kept. The food is amazing with most ingredients coming from local farms. I cant say enough about the food and service. We were visiting for our wedding anniversary which they went out of the way to make special. The location is great, as it is just a 5 minute boat taxi ride from Boca Town.Posted on Laura HVerified Le paradis! Tout est parfait! Un vrai goût du paradis! Nous sommes venus quelques jours pour notre lune de miel, et nous avons été agréablement surpris par leurs attention et leur gentillesse. Le logement est propre, grand et très bien agencé. Tout y est parfait afin de vous rendre le séjour le plus agréable possible. Un vrai bonheur de venir ici. Et un grand merci à Kiki qui nous a accueillie et conseillé pendant notre séjourPosted on DaveVerified 10/10 Would Abandon Responsibilities Again If you’re looking for a place that nails “relaxation” so hard it feels like a personal attack on your daily routine—Sol Bungalows is it. Drew, the owner, was genuinely amazing: attentive, warm, and the kind of host who makes you feel like you’ve known him forever (but with better planning and fewer group texts). The dinners were gourmet in the truest sense—beautifully prepared, ridiculously delicious, and consistently the highlight of the day… which is saying something when the rest of the day is also gorgeous. And Kiki deserves special recognition: she made sure everything ran perfectly, from logistics to little details that most places miss. The whole stay felt seamless, easy, and effortlessly well-run. If you’ve ever traveled and thought “I wonder what it’s like when things just… work?” Kiki is the answer. Sol Bungalows is the rare spot that’s both stunning and exceptionally managed. 10/10. Highly recommend—unless you enjoy stress and mediocre food. Would also like to file a complaint with my regular life for not being this good. I’ll be back and I’m bringing my friends.Posted on Lisa Marie WVerified Birthday in Paradise How can words possibly express how unforgettable and wonderful a stay we had for my birthday trip to Sol Bungalows? We left the best for last as we stayed there the last 2 nights of our time in Bocas del Toro. From the moment the water taxi drops you off, your breath is immediately taken away by its beautiful setting and we were treated like family by Drew, Kiki and the rest of his staff because that's how they treat each other. You can just feel the warmth and love from everyone who works at this amazing place and they really go out of their way to take care of every detail. They kindly watched our bags for a few hours as we arrived before check in time, then arranged for a lovely lunch in Old Bay and when we returned, we got our grand tour and orientation 😀! We stayed at the Mayacuna cabin and it was so beautiful. They had decorated the room with the most wonderful floral and towel origami arrangement we had ever seen! There was a lovely tropical floral arrangement and even a homemade birthday cake with candles waiting for me. There was the most comfortable pillow top king sized mattress and the whole place was planned out and designed so well. Handmade wooden furniture and the details were so well done. We so loved the 2 glass bottom floors and the plantation shutters and screens on the windows so that we were able to close them when it rained. We didn't realize that January still is fairly rainy so we got a mix of cloudy, rainy, partly sunny and one sunny day but that is beyond anyone's control. If it's really stormy, there is a lovely restaurant area that has so many games and you can take them back to your room along with beverages and snacks that are in the honor bar. Please do yourself the biggest favor and sign up for the dinner as it was a real treat and so delicious as were the hand served breakfasts each morning. When you wake up, you can text them and they will bring delicious coffee and a light snack to your cabana. Then you simply tell them when you want to eat breakfast and they will serve you at your special table. They have their own farm on the property which they gather the ingredients from and each meal is different and curated to provide the unique and yummy flavors from the island. Best meals we had on the trip hands down. They provide so much for the local community and we bought gifts for our friends and family from their gift shop to help donate to this important cause. They provide swim noodles, kayaks, snorkeling equipment and kayaks and they will give you the best places to use them. Be sure to check out the nurse sharks that are right in front of the 2nd cabin, Pina! So cool! We were heartbroken to leave the 3rd morning and are hoping to make this a repeated trip in the years to come. Thank you so very much Sol Bungalows for the memories and the lovely experience!Posted on Amy BVerified Paradise in Panama Ahh, comfortable, beautiful, wonderful staff, and the food, from their own farm! Views and beds are amazing. 4 bungalows, so there’s privacy and then community in the dining area. Drew and staff very helpful. So well built, clean, and we’d definitely comes back.Posted on Dan CVerified Over the water bungalows for max enjoyment We spent 6 nights at Sol Bungalows and had a wonderful stay. The host couple/owners (Drew and Tamara) we welcoming and attentive to interests with solid recommendations for a little adventure. Special shout-out to Kiki for also looking out for us. There are 4 bungalows over the water. As a result, the staff really gets to know you and is focused on making sure they help with whatever your activity goals are for the day/week. The bungalows are thoughtfully laid out and super comfortable. Each porch has a ladder down to the water, chairs to relax and watch the ocean view. The main building has a dock and the dining facilities upstairs. The meals were all artfully prepared local dishes and delicious. There are lots of activities all around the area and most require a short water taxi ride (super easy). A good spot for couples or small families.Posted on Cathy JVerified Best vacation and sol bungalows absolutely made the trip!! The bungalows were so nice with stunning views. Drew, the owner, and Kiki, the manager, made everything wonderful. They arranged transportation and our tours. The food was fantastic and fresh from Their farm. Would highly recommend themPosted on Colleen CVerified Fantastic Honeymoon! Our stay at Sol Bungalows was absolutely fantastic! Drew and the entire staff made it so memorable for us. The bungalows are beautiful and impeccably clean with amazing views. Estefano and his crew in the kitchen serve 5-star meals every night. Kiki was so kind and really made our entire vacation effortless. Do yourself a favor and book the trip now. You won't regret it!Posted on Margaret WVerified Wonderful stay at Sol We spent 4 nights at Sol Bungalows and it was paradise! The location was great. The bungalows themselves were amazing! And the staff was awesome! They helped plan all our excursions. And the food the offered was top tier and all from their garden or local sources. We could not have asked for me. Would 10/10 recommend. We look forward to coming back!Posted on Roxanne AVerified The most amazing place We stayed for two nights and absolutely loved our experience. The food was incredible; hands down one of the highlights of our trip. Breakfast and supper were amazing, and most of the ingredients came straight from their own farm. Each morning they brought heavenly French press coffee right to our room. Lunch is also available to order (we were in town during the day) but I’m sure it’s just as fantastic. The staff were truly exceptional and so kind and helpful. They booked tours and boat taxis for my husband and me and made everything effortless. They provide everything you could possibly need: snorkeling gear, paddle boards, ear plugs and even a sound machine. The outdoor deck was beautiful and so relaxing, with chairs, loungers, a floor hammock, hanging hammock and even a fan. They paid attention to the little details that really mattered to us. When they found out we don’t drink alcohol, they surprised us with non-alcoholic beers and beautiful welcome drinks which was such a thoughtful touch. They also gave us fantastic advice on things to do, places to eat and who to contact, which made exploring the area so easy. We will most definitely be back. Highly, highly recommend SOL Bungalows.
