This is an excellent hotel worth the price. It is away from tourist boats and you can relax in your room or swim around the small bay. The food was excellent and you can buy fresh fish from fishermen as they drive back to town. The staff was excellent especially Bum Bum. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anybody... More

We were blown away by this place. After reading the reviews here we were a little worried that we overpaid, but it was worth every penny. This was top shelf service, something hard to find in Central America. The staff was top notch, the food was excellent. The place itself is a true spectacle...tourist boats would slow down to allow... More

Our second trip to Punta Caracol Acqua Lodge even topped our first. From the time that you step off of the water taxi and onto the decking of Punta Caracol your mouth hangs open. It is the most relaxing, tranquil location. I brought my sister for her Birthday celebration last February and we returned with her husband this year for... More

The photos of Punta Caracol don't lie. This is a magnificent spot - the water is blue and clear, the sunsets are amazing. We even saw a dolphin, every so briefly, right in front of our cabin. 5-stars for location. But for the price the hotel leaves a lot to be desired. Breakfast - unless you are an egg eater,... More

It was pure heaven on earth: the cabin, the food, the staff. Everything was a dream. I love this place! The only down side was the weather, if it rains you are stuck in the cabin and there is not much to do, but if not, you have your own kayak in your back patio, your privacy and excellent offer...

Punta Caracol is a picturesque place to stay...so long as you're only looking at pictures on the internet and not actually staying there in person!! The lodge is run-down, the coral reef is dead and nothing to see snorkeling, the bathrooms are dingy and the meals were truly not good. If this place were $100 or so a night, I... More

We stayed here as part of our honeymoon on July 2012. It is an adventure to get to but well worth the cab and boat ride. The cottages are built on top of dead corral reef right on the water. Nothing compares to watching the sunset right on the deck of the beautiful cottage surrounded by crystal clear water. The... More

We spent our August 2011 honeymoon here. Pros: My husband and I visited the Lodge on the last and final leg of our two week honeymoon/backpack through Costa Rica/ Panama. We were excited to finally “relax” for four days. We thought the lodge was beautiful...we had no problem getting to the lodge the staff was very friendly, willing to go... More

We were advised by the concierge at the Playa Bonita Intercontinental Hotel in Panama and when they said "Luna Suite upgrade" and so many options like the welcoming cocktail which never came, we imagined a high standard hotel, specially with the price us$ 340 plus tax a night. The bathrooms are like a camping and the hotel standard is low,... More
