We had a very relaxing time at Popa Paradise! Its a bit of an adventure to get here, but worth every bit of it, and it was super easy. Instructions on the website is very clear and the owner, Vince, is very helpful and responsive. The food was absolutely amazing, every single meal! Everyone working on the resort was very friendly and helpful, full of smiles! We stayed in the ocean front villa with the wrap around porch and thoroughly enjoyed sitting out on the porch, listening to the waves and watching the birds, hummingbirds, butterflies flitter about. We were shown where to find a baby sloth. Highly recommend!

We booked our flights into Panama City on different days than our flights from PC to Boca del Toro. I would not recommend trying to do both flights on the same day, just to save some stress.

If my name were Adam I would say I had found a literal garden of Eden! The place is absolutely stunning! The moment you pull up to the pier and see that beach and take the walk up to the club house, through the trees! It’s peaceful! I had the privilege of being the only guest, which to some maybe not great! It was better than amazing!!!! I almost don’t want to leave a review, cuz I want this to be my secret! I can not speak highly enough of Vince and Rosie’s place! The staff are attentive but descrete. The food was always good and the beer always cold!

My wife and I stayed there for 7 nights. We really enjoyed the place. It was very unique and different from all other resorts we visited before, secluded on an almost uninhabited island. Vince and Rosie - the hosts were grate, warm and accommodating. The beach was nice and pretty much to ourselves. Don’t expect 5-star amenities but you can count on a romantic atmosphere, great family-style food and a lot of green nature around you. Bring some bug spray and sun block and be happy! Totally recommend.

Vince and Rosie are the ultimate hosts and all the other guests were super friendly. The local staff go out of their way to stay in the back ground until they see you needing something that you didn’t even realize you needed .The pool with the swim up bar was wonderful and the food was very sufficient and presented gracefully every day. My shy Canadian wife soon got in to naturism and thoroughly in joyed the experience. I’m now trying to plan our next visit to this exceptional place in paradise

I can’t wait for Vince to get his catamaran repaired and back in the water as a boater that would be the top priority getting a little sailing time but seeing the monkey sanctuary was very cool and by chance on the way there the boat taxi driver spotted some dolphins and let us all watch these fascinating creatures feeding up close and personal . We will definitely do the jungle hike next visit
