I was on the internet all night... More

My fiancee and I were in Isla Colon last week, and we fell in love with Playa Bluff Lodge. The staff is very kind, and helpful, and the stunning natural beauty of the place is unmatchable. We took a jungle hike with Alex, a local guide who works for the hotel and saw two different kinds of monkeys, sloths, beautiful... More

The lodge is located in a secluded part of Bocas .there is NOTHING around-no stores to buy water,no other restaurants so the restaurant in front of the lodge is pretty much your only choice (and it is not that cheap...). Near the lodge there is a great beach where at night from 9 PM – 04:00 AM you will be... More

We are sorry that you did not enjoy your time at our lodge. We think you are right that if you do not like nature and large turtles on the beach, this is not the place to go. There is a nice restaurant in front of the lodge, the most expensive menu is $ 12.50. That means you can eat... More

We stayed 4 nights at the Playa Bluff Lodge and the stay was simply wonderful. The gardens of the property are a menagerie of wildlife (the Sloths are a particular highlight), and the beach is simply wonderful - one of the most idyllic I have encountered. Obviously with nature there are no guarantees but when we were there, Leatherback turtles... More

Having been to, and stayed in many countries on this planet, I have to say if there was ever a place that could steal a small piece of your heart, a place to which you go and pretty much vow always to come back to again (at least every few years or so), then Playa Bluff Lodge would be exactly...

The decision for us as stay in town or out of town. This was our out of town stay for 3 nights. We could write for a week about our 3 nights there we enjoyed it so much. Although I'm sure this place isn't for everyone, I'm listing what we liked and what 'may' be an issue for your stay.... More

This is a place for nature lovers who likes the relaxing atmosphere of being at a lodge on the end of the road. The road was overflooded at some parts. The taxi got stuck on the way from the airport. Be prepared for small adventures when you leave town! Bring good clothes for all weather and shoes. We were an... More

We never stayed at the lodge but we dis spend two days at the restaurant, waiting for night fall when the turtles might come ashore to nest. The owner of the restaurant, Irwen, is one of those rare people that you meet that is extremely friendly. The food is great and the conversations with Irwen are alone worth the visit.... More
