“I felt as if I was in a better, more authentic version of Bora Bora staying here.”
EXCELLENT Based on 254 reviews Posted on Shelby CVerified The Best Experience!! My husband and I spent our honeymoon at Sol Bungalows and had the absolute best experience. We had never been to Panama and were understandably a little nervous going to a new country but it turned out to be a 10/10 vacation. Every person we encountered both in Bocas and Panama City were so kind and we never felt unsafe. At Sol Bungalows, the owner Drew and the manager Kiki are both wonderful. They made check in and check out so easy and booked every excursion we wanted to do for us. The food was incredible and I am sad knowing I won’t get to have it again until I come back to visit. You order breakfast from your bungalow and can get coffee delivered to you in the morning if you’d like. There are so many things to choose from for breakfast and we tried most of them, all being absolutely incredible. They give you fresh fruit, juice, and a small baked item every morning as well. They always had something different and it was fun getting to try fruits we don’t have at home. The days we chose to eat dinner there were also the best meals we had during our vacation. Everything from the tuna to the empanadas were delicious and we were never hungry going to bed. They make everything there, including some of the best sauces, and much of it comes from their garden so it was all fresh. The bungalow we stayed in was also perfect! It was clean and beautiful. Housekeeping comes every morning to freshen up the room while you are at breakfast and always left us with everything we needed. Being over the water and getting to see all of the fish below us while relaxing on the deck in the hammock or chairs was by far one of our favorite things during the trip. You can snorkel right from your bungalow or paddle board/kayak. There are so many things to do right from the room that made our experience perfect. The location was close to the other islands and traveling by boat was easier than it sounds. They have a great system to call a water taxi (much like calling an uber) and they always picked us up within 10 mins to take us where we wanted to go. There are boats that pass by the bungalows frequently but the noise wasn’t bad in our opinion and we never had trouble going to sleep. By far the best value for your vacation if you want to stay in an over water bungalow! I can’t say enough good things about the stay and the service we received. It was nice to be able to pick and choose what we wanted to do to make the experience feel personalized.Posted on Leslie VVerified Perfect Week in Paradise We absolutely loved our week here and already can’t wait to return. The bungalows were incredible — every detail was thoughtfully considered, making them comfortable, airy, spotless, and so relaxing to stay in. We especially loved the loungers and hammock for sunset watching, and the snorkeling right outside the bungalow was amazing, with lots of sea life including nurse sharks, rays, sea stars, and a huge variety of fish. The food was outstanding and possibly the best we had anywhere in the area. We ended up eating nearly every dinner at the bungalows because every meal was so fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. What truly made the stay exceptional was the staff. Kiki and Drew were wonderful hosts, and everyone at Sol Bungalows was beyond friendly and genuinely helpful, arranging absolutely everything for us — from fantastic tour guides to relaxing massages to reliable water taxi operators — which made the entire trip effortless and stress-free. An unforgettable stay from start to finish.Posted on drtripVerified Perfection in Panamanian Paradise Sol Bungalows nailed it on every level. Cleanliness, design and decor - A+ Food, presentation and ambiance - A+ Amenities and organization - A+ Over water bungalows- A+ What is higher than an A+? I’m not sure the grade but the staff attention was other worldly. Whatever you wanted, needed or simply thought about could be yours in a bespoke manner. Drew, the owner, was exceedingly personable, knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you!Posted on Katie PVerified Outstanding vacation We had an incredible time celebrating our belated honeymoon at Sol Bungalows. Traveling to Bocas del toro has long been a dream of mine, and it exceeded every expectation! The bungalows themselves were cute and clean, with great views. The meals were delicious with local ingredients. Drew is very knowledgeable and goes out of his way to be helpful. Kiki was welcoming and efficient. We had the best tour day with Eddy, he showed us all around and even went snorkeling with us. Travel between the islands was very easy, with the recommended boat taxi driver. Overall, we could not have had a better trip and hope to come back one day! Thanks for everything!Posted on Cassie BVerified Loved Sol Bungalows My husband and I stayed here for three nights as the last stop in Panama. My only disappointment is that we couldn’t stay longer! Large deck is great to launch for snorkeling, watch boats go by and just to relax. Sol Bungalows lived up to all my expectations!Posted on DCTerryVerified Spectacular! There’s a place on the Osa Peninsula (Costa Rica) called Bosque del Cabo that I tend to hold as my high bar as my favorite unique and awesome hotel/resort. Sol has dethroned them. The photos are legit. You’re seriously on top of the water and the service and food are spectacular. Kiki, the manager / concierge/ waitress / entertainment is an absolute delight. She took care of arranging absolutely everything. At red frog beach they gave us the WiFi password because “you’re Kiki’s”. After a few days of chatting at meals, it feels as if she’s been a friend for a long time! Speaking of meals, Sol is too bashful to brag on themselves— but they are delicious. From the little coconut/peanut butter/chocolate energy bars to the Ecuadorian curry to the tuna… everything was delicious and presented beautifully. And most of what we ate was from their garden. They would be the top restaurant in Bocas if they were open to the public. I’m struggling to think of any criticism. One reviewer noted that there’s no TV. This is true, but if you’re a traveler who requires tv, this isn’t the place for you. Need something to do, snorkel off your porch and look at the family of nurse sharks who live in the little reef or sit and watch the water taxis speed by or look at the fish through the windows in the floor. Yes, you can hear a rhythm from a Bocas club at night— it wasn’t bothersome for us. If you’re a light sleeper, just use the noise canceling machine in the nightstand. If Sol is in on your radar, just book it. And there are only 4 rooms… so don’t wait.Posted on Nabarun DVerified The right values, the right hospitality Very attentive, with good values (local community, environment). Everything is within reach, but nothing is pushy. So lovely!! Meals make you linger with delicious views, with much grown just a few feet away in the organic farm. This place is a paradise! Snorkel gear included, nice soft coral right off your porch. Stand up paddle boards and kayaks free.Posted on Daniel GVerified Paradise over the water We decided to stay at Sol Bungalows for our honeymoon and have fallen in love with the island and our bungalow! Drew and Kiki were the absolute best throughout the whole week we were here, and we would come back in a heartbeat the next time we come to Bocas. The Bungalows are truly paradise over the water and we got to see a ton of different fish, nurse sharks, and even an eagle ray! The food served was incredible and a majority of the ingredients come directly from their farm. The food is super fresh, inventive, and the staff take great pride in the food they serve. Everything we ate from the first meal to the last was absolutely delicious and can see a lot of attention was put into what they serve guests. Apart from all the blogs that Drew has put together online to help guests, Kiki and Drew were always very attentive to plans that guests had outside of Sol to ensure we had the best time possible all around the island. They are always willing to provide suggestions and can text them whenever you’d like during your stay. Truly the best honeymoon we could ever ask for and so thankful to all of the staff at Sol Bungalows for being a huge part of it. 10/10 would recommend!!Posted on Michael TVerified Best of the Bocas Incredible place. The bungalows are comfortable, cozy and stocked with everything you need to enjoy everything Bocas has to offer. All of the staff were helpful and friendly. The food was excellent and the surrounding beauty is immense.Posted on Christopher TVerified A top level experience This is an incredible experience. The location is prime. The accommodations are exceptional. And the cuisine/food is top notch! And best of all is that the staff - they do it all to make your experience a next level one.
