My friend and I stayed here for several nights during a ten-day surf trip through Panama. It would be difficult to overstate how beautiful the setting is, and how great it is to be suspended over the water. The bungalows are beautiful, clean and comfortable. It's very nice indeed to be able to wake up in the morning and just... More

We spent the bulk of our honeymoon (5 nights) in our very own Cabin on the Water at Eclypse De Mar. This was by far the most romantic place we've ever stayed. The view from the private cabins is gorgeous-- you can see Old Bank (close enough, without being too close!), the rain forested Isla Solarte, the mangroves, the beautiful... More

Incredibly romantic, wonderful place. Martin showed us a mother sloth and baby sloth in a tree right behind the hotel! The rooms are well laid out and the bed was so comfortable. My only complaint is that we ate several things from the hotel restaurant and there is definitely room for improvement, but this is easy to forgive given the... More

Stayed at Eclypse for two nights, we absolutely loved it here!! Beautifully appointed bungalows, wonderful deck with hammock, gorgeous tropical gardens and excellent snorkeling around the property. We enjoyed a welcome cocktail upon arrival and had a great time exploring Bastimentos during our stay. We will definitely return to Eclypse, it doesn't get much better :)

Swimming at night ,no tv,no air conds,just a good book, yep this is it a tropical... More

Beautiful, well appointed bungalows in a perfect setting. A must see, the amazing acres of tropical gardens. The resort has a very romantic vibe, and relaxing atmosphere. The hosts and thier staff were friendly and very accomodating. Day trips to the outer beaches----THE BEST.

A truly beautiful place. Make sure you realize that you need a boat to get... More

I recommended Eclypse de Mar to all my friends and colleagues after returning from our trip there. The overwater bungalows are elegantly constructed over perfect aquamarine waters. Each bungalow has a private deck with a gorgeous view of the water and sailboats. We spent a lot of time just laying out in the sun and jumping off our private dock... More
