We loved our time in villa 13. The view and the villa are stunning. Food was alright and a lot of menu items were unavailable so I would recommend that you plan meals and grocery shop in Bocas. Finally, in the contract that you sign upon renting the villa it says you only have a certain amount of electricity per... More

On my first trip to Red Frog Beach I was amazed at its natural beauty. The beaches are some of the best I have ever seen. Their zip line course was challenging and filled with excitement. The instructors provided the information to make this a very safe adventure. The food at both the beach restaurant and the main dinning facility... More

Me and my wife went to Red Frog on our honeymoon and had an AMAZING time there! The staff, property, and all the tours at Red Frog were really great. We had set up transportation from Panama City's Tocumen airport to Albrock through a Red Frog recommendation and that was Carlos. Carlos is a great guy and even though we... More

Red Frog Beach Resort could not have been a better honeymoon destination for us. We wanted a mix of luxury and adventure, and we found plenty of both here! From the time we stepped off the airplane, someone was there to greet us and show us the way. We had to change airports on our way there and back, and... More

Our experience with Red Frog Beach was terrible: We hired a villa for US 350 a night and did not have hot water for three nights !!! We asked for a compensation but our request - both during and after our stay - was just ignored. They do not reply to e-mails at all. It seems that they just don't... More

Dear Guest: I am sorry for the challenges you experienced during your trip. We are glad you did find that this is a beautiful island and has great beaches. Not sure what happened during your stay but we would have moved you to a different hillside villa if there was any maintenance issues. We do not have many issues with... More

My brother and I like to travel and one of our favorite destinations is Belize. Recently we switched it up and chose Panama. We stayed at Red Frog Beach Resort which is on the Caribbean side of Panama on its own private island! We stayed in Villa 30 which had the most amazing views of the ocean and jungle. Our... More

I’ve been in Red Frog few times and I did not see or hear what is written in negative review. Looks like to me some people come there to find only negatives. I would like to say about my experience. I found on Red Frog all I need: Clean beach and crystal blue water, a lot of activities and at... More

The star of this place is the setting and that is not a knock on the resort itself. It is hard to do justice to Bastimentos Island and Red Frog Beach in writing. I would simply say go and experience it for yourself. It is beautiful, spectacular, at times raw and unfinished, but a place that will speak to your... More

Our stay was 10 days with a day of travel tacked on each end. The villa was clean with a view of the Caribbean. The resort has a boundary with a national rain forest preserve and is well located for both hiking and surf swimming at Red Frog Beach. That beach is an ideal way to cool down at any... More
