From the minute Natalia met us at the airport to the taxi, boat, and short walk to our cabana we felt welcomed and a part of the group we soon met at breakfast. Tranquilo Bay has a special niche in the travel world. Rene, Jim and Jay, the owners, as well as Natalia and Ramon the guides, have warm welcoming... More

If you are a serious Eco tourist, you must come to this lovely small lodge. With only 6 cabins you get very personal attention. The cabins are a nice size and very comfortable. It is an all included place and they mean it: drinks, wine, laundry, excursions, everything. What makes the place so special are the two naturalist guides who... More

For another great review of this place, read the one by mah1066ban, who stayed there at the same time we did! After doing hours and hours of research on two things: 1) Should we go to San Blas or Bocas del Toro, and 2) Where to stay, I decided on Bocas del Toro and Tranquilo Bay. I cannot speak to... More

They were nearing completion of a... More

We spent three weeks in Panama and it would not have complete without our stay at Tranquilo Bay. We had a mis-communication about the phone number but our hosts more than made up for our inconvinence. Our guide Ramone took us to the best snorkeling site through the mangroves we ever experienced. He was so friendly and fun to be... More

Wonderful owners!! Ramone led us on a guided tour of the rainforest where we spotted monkeys, red frogs, hummingbird swimming holes and a Mangrove Cookoo. It's a must do vacation.

Food is great and the atmosphere is special. Every effort is made to make each guest feel comfortable and welcome. A wide range of activities is available for the... More
