I had a truly wonderful experience at Popa Paradise Resort, which is just a short boat ride from Bocas Town but feels like a world away. The natural beauty and tranquility of the location provided the perfect backdrop for relaxation. The rooms were beautifully furnished and offered great views. The service was exceptionally attentive, and the dining options were fantastic, with fresh caught seafood and delicious meals. The only downside was that I wish I could have stayed longer to enjoy everything at a slower pace.

This resort is a true paradise, offering stunning views and a relaxing atmosphere. The casitas are clean and beautifully decorated, providing a comfortable and private setting just steps from the beach. The array of activities available, from kayaking to snorkeling, allows for an adventurous stay. However, there were a few minor maintenance issues during our visit. Overall, it's an exceptional getaway that's well worth the price.

My stay at this beautiful resort was nothing short of magical. The secluded location provided a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle, complete with clean and comfortable accommodations. The friendly hosts made me feel right at home. While the dining options were delicious, I appreciated the focus on local cuisine rather than a wide variety of choices. Overall, it's a fantastic place for a serene getaway, but if you're looking for nightlife or a variety of dining options, this might not be the ideal fit.

I had an amazing and peaceful getaway at Popa Paradise, where I truly felt disconnected from the world. The rooms were beautifully decorated and offered stunning views, while the service was impeccable with dedicated staff making sure our every need was met. The location is truly a slice of paradise, accessible only by boat, and the dining experience exceeded my expectations, especially with the fantastic continental breakfast. However, I did notice some minor issues with water pressure and some bugs around the beach area.

We had a wonderful time at this resort, which truly feels like a hidden paradise. The spacious grounds and well-maintained bungalows made our stay very comfortable. While the island situation means you’re a bit isolated, the range of activities offered kept us engaged. However, the dining options could definitely use some improvement, especially for vegetarians. Despite a couple of hiccups with the shower and water pressure, the welcoming atmosphere and community vibe made up for it.
