We went to the lodge for the second time. This time we brought our entire family and we all had the best time! My husband went tuna fishing with my 2 sons and my daughter and i went for a jungle tour and saw monkeys and lots of birds. Breakfast in the garden is fantastic. This is in the rancho... More

I would like to say that there are pros and cons to the property. However, guests should be aware prior to going of what to expect. First Helena was very accommodating. She offered to pick us up from the airport but we didn't have flight time finalized until late so we caught a taxi. Upon arriving she showed us around... More

Playa Bluff Lodge is an ecolodge which you can read on our website and reviews of guests before you came. Our guests like to stay in this kind of small ecolodges in the middle of nature in stead of big resorts with full entertainment. You gave me recommendations for our lodge during your stay like theater and movie nights for... More

The lodge is located a long way out out of the town, which wasn't a problem for us. We stayed in room 2, which was a little gloomy, but as we didn't spend much time there was ok. We did see the sloths and red eyed green tree frogs in the garden but no snakes (to my sons dismay). The... More

My wife and I have been to Bocas del Toro many times, but we have always stayed in Bocas Town. Now that much of the road has been paved, we decided to do something a little different and go further out into the jungle. Playa Bluff Lodge provides the ultimate combination of beach and jungle, as well as an delightful... More

A great combination of a beautiful beach and a jungle. The owners Reiner and Helena built a boutique b&b that gives a unique experience off living in the jungle. The rooms are very elegant with a peaceful vibe and jungle view. The service was more than expected and we really felt like Being at home. It's really peace of haven... More

We stayed in this comfortable lodge for 5 nights at the end of February 2013. When we arrived, the friendly Dutch owners arranged transport from the airport. In front of the main house is a swimming pool with fresh, very clean water, a nice restaurant and then a gorgeous and quiet beach. Behind the house is a beautiful garden with... More

We just came back from this beautiful bed and breakfast at Bocas del Toro, Panama. My family of 4 had a fabulous time here. The rooms are very clean and so are the bathrooms. The lighting in the rooms is dark because they have solar power. The gardens we had breakfast in are gorgeous, with sloths hanging in the trees... More

I was at the Lodge, last year with my 10 years old son, and all was perfect. Confortable rooms, excelent food, a lot of nature and the kindness of Helene and Reinier made our holidays awesome. Thanks, from Argentina, and be sure that I'll be back.

We stayed for only two days; but really wished we could have been there a week. The setting is amazing. Reinier and Helene have created an eco-hotel in the midst of tropical forest and managed to keep it completely natural. Breakfast was included and was served in a delightful setting by a pond filled with frogs and "Jesus Christ" lizards... More
