“A slice of Paradise”

Our stay at Popa was excellent! From the moment you are picked up on the main island, to the time you leave the dock to go back, was magical. We were upgraded to the junior suites from the casita's , which were excellent. The rooms are big, and airy. We were with another couple so having the big porch area... More

“Nice Island, resort needs a lot of maintenance.”

Reviewed April 25, 2013 via mobile

We used a travel agent whose description of this hotel was "luxurious." This is a very rustic hotel in need of major updating. The management was very kind, but the facilities need major work. We stayed in the rooms close to the pool, not the cabanas. Our bathroom reminded me of what a cheap motel in Miami would look like-... More

“A giant step in the right direction!”

Reviewed March 23, 2013

Early last year I visited Popa Paradise and though it was an attractive hotel in a beautiful setting, there was apparently a transition in ownership ongoing and the place was looking a bit rough around the edges, though the onsite management team of Darion and Dyllan made my stay enjoyable. A year later I returned and wow, what a difference!... More

Thank you so much for your review. Our staff have been working very hard to get the resort in shape after our acquisition of Popa last year, but there is always more to do, and it is not easy on a remote island. It is gratifying when people notice the results! We have lots of good things planned for the... More
