We just got back from our trip to Panama (my 3rd and my husband's 1st) and my love for Panama is still growing. Bluff Beach is a special little place and I would recommend it to other travelers. There are a few things to know though, it is out of the way - which is one of the greatest things... More

I just want people to be advise of what to expect because I felt that the owner is bias in his opinion. So here is the good and the bad -I really liked the property and we got to walk around and see some monkeys and frogs. - The breakfast was good! and the staff were nice -I thought the... More

I wanted to apologize for the broken fan in your home. Your visit was almost a year ago & there was a problem with the fans in this home for a short period of time. It took us a week to get the electrician to come to the island. Sometimes being in a remote beautiful tropical jungle / beach setting... More

We rented the big house which was perfect for our 2 family (adult kids) group of 7. Ron was a wonderful host and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. It's a beautiful and very thoughtfully laid out home and property. The beachfront is capivating, but as often occurs the waves were so huge it made swimming... More

Our family rented the 2 bedroom Casita behind the main beach house in December. The weather was terrific. The beach on which the property sits, part of Bluff Beach, is as beautiful as everyone described, although unfortunately the water was too rough for swimming when we were there. I imagine it's just luck of the draw as to whether the... More

Our family of four stayed for a week in December and it is a vacation I will never forget. The host, Ron, is amazing. From him we got a sense of the challenges, politically, geographically and culturally of living in this gorgeous jungle across from an ocean that continuously soothed us with its rhythmic crashing of waves. And from Ron... More

Our group of 6 stayed in the Beach House for a week in November, and it was a wonderful experience. Ron was very helpful before our arrival and Steve took great care of us during our stay. Liduvena made incredible, delicious breakfasts each day - we also really enjoyed a couple of dinners at the house that she prepared. The... More

This is absolutely the best place we did stay during our trip across Panama. I can oly say it is perfect. If you look for luxury right in the jungle, want a perfect beach you don't even need to share with anybody else and wake up by the sound of all these beautiful tropical birds this is the place to...

There is a saying in the Talmud that goes " Three things can heal the soul, beautiful sights, beautiful sounds, beautiful smells " As you set foot in the enchanted universe Ron offers us you will instantly feel revived and rejuvenated. The lovely winding paths, the multitude of tropical flowers, the magestic trees reaching high towards the ever changing skies... More

My husband and I spent 4 awesome days at this tropical paradise. We stayed in Las Palmas, which is the two bedroom casita situated behind the main house. It has everything you need to prepare meals if you desire. We ended up only purchasing snacks to nibble on between breakfast and dinner, since every morning we had such a big,... More

My girlfirend and I stayed here for 8 nights. We couldn't fault the place. It's perfectly located on the best stretch of beach on the Island, which remains largely deserted all day. The rooms are comfortable, very tasteful, well finished and kept very clean. There's a great breakfast each morning and a lovely swimming pool long enough for some proper... More
