The island is beautiful and natural. The accommodations are nice and the hotel staff is absolutely fantastic! They made a special effort while we were there to make vegetarian options for my mom and I. They packed a free bottle of champagne, some fruit and flowers in a picnic basket and hid it around the corner of the island for... More

My daughter and I just spent 5 days at Popa Paradise and enjoyed every minute. We didn't want to leave! Our experience was somewhat unique in that we were (except for one night) the only guests at the hotel. I don't know how often that happens and I don't think it measurably changed our experience except that we felt more... More

My husband and I visited Popa Paradise in celebration of our 20th anniversary. We went snorkeling and kayaking (free for guests), spent long hours in the beautiful pool with a swim-up bar, and many peaceful relaxing moments just enjoying all the birds and beauty of the place. Dyllan and Darion were wonderful hosts, making sure we didn't lack for anything.... More

Beautiful beach, lovely pool, fine food (thank you Darion for some of the best dishes I’ve had in my life), even cocktails were amazing! Popa’s cabins are gorgeous with spectacular ocean and jungle views. Whole team at Popa was so welcoming and they treated us as friends. Best vacation ever!!!

It was an amazing cultural experience and a tropical oasis.. Adventure, beaches, zip lines, boogie boarding at red frog beach, snorkeling right off the beach at zapatillos, visits to Indian villages and schools, pristine... More

We spent a week at Popa Paradise, after spending a night at their sister hotel in Bocas Del Toro. We had an absolutely amazing time on the island and the staff made the trip even more enjoyable! We did day trips to Red Frog beach (amazing waves for the kids!) Zapatilla (snorkeling), Popa Dos (indigenous village) and some of us... More

Popa Paradise was everthing we could have wanted in a get away vacation. The boat ride from Bocas through the mangroves and crystal turquoise waters was beautiful! We were greeted by Dylan at the clubhouse and shown to our wonderful casita. The casitas are clean and very comfortable. The balconies allow privacy and views of the beach or the jungle.... More

I just returned from a 4 day stay at Popa Paradise with my boyfriend. We arrived in Bocas Del Toro at the sister hotel Bocas Paradise where a Popa staff member and boat driver were there to greet us. The boat ride to Popa Island was AMAZING! Beautiful blue sea with tiny mangrove islands you drive between. When we arrived... More
