Popa Paradise Beach Resort

Resort

Fantastic place +great owners = wonderfull stay!

Just returned home to Boquete after 5 nights at Popa Paradise Beach Resort. It was a birthday surprise for my wife. Gorgeous location, lovely casitas, incredible food, fine beverages, beautiful pool, restaurant and bar plus great activities including snorkeling and a visit to a cacao farm. Best of all was the well trained and friendly staff. They even baked a gluten-free cake for my wife as a birthday surprise. These folks are the definition of hospitality. Highly recommended!

My husband surprised me with 5 nights at Popa Paradise for my birthday! Such a special gift! Better than jewelry from Tiffany’s.

We stayed here for two days and WOW! This was by far the highlight of our whole three week holiday touring around Costa Rica and Panama! We are in the hospitality industry and were so impressed! These guys know hospitality! All the staff went above and beyond! Rosie was just amazing and made us feel at home! We had such fun and would recommend this place to anyone! We will be back!

Great resort if you want to disconnect from the world. You can spend hours and not see another soul. Take a kayak to your own private beach or hang out at the pool to drink and connect back to the world. Friendly staff and clean room. Feels like your own private resort.

This place is incredible. Its one of the few places that I can go where the rest of the world just fades away. After a day there you have no desire to be connected to the grid anymore. The place is beautiful, the staff are very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are great, the food is incredible and fresh every day. Its an all-inclusive place so drink as much as you like. They set up fun things for you to do. I’ve visited the chocolate farm, zip lined, scuba, sail boated, catamaran and went sightseeing in the jungle and the local town. Their beaches are private and rarely do you see anybody, other than an occasional canoe go by. Simply love the place.

The resort is fantastic: a full immersion in the jungle! The "casitas" are very confortable, and the view on the ocean is great. The pool on the top of the hill is very nice and presents a fully equipped bar. The all inclusive accomodation is definetely all inclusive. The chefs are very good "five stars" and you can ask them to prepare everything you like. The italian managers are "perfect" as well as all the staff. The only limitation was the sea water rather cloudy in the sea front. But by boat, a little bit too expensive, you can rich fantastic sites!

The resort is fantastic, the beaches are great and private and the pool is great also. All is really included, From shakes by the pool to kayaks and movies for the room. The chefs are very good and open to make you what you like. The managers Daniele and Helena are soooo nice! All the staff is really nice and will make everything to make you happy.

This must be the filthiest hotel in Panama. A run-down resort off the main island, Popa Paradise has seen better days. The room was broken-down, with stained sheets, a broken TV, and cracks in the walls that let the bugs in. The kitchen was disgusting — all of the glasses and plates were dirty, and nothing was ever wiped up. I never should have trusted TripAdvisor. This place is horrible. Do not waste your money. You would have to pay me to return to this dump. Do not stay at this hotel, it is a scam. It is a broken down mess, and there is always new managers because the owners are absent and they just hire and fire seasonal help. Everyone in Bocas Town knows this place is a joke, it's too bad we paid via PayPal and can't get our money back. This place should be shut down by the board of health for gross negligence.

Popa Paradise Beach Resort is Not a scam, but a resort that went through a transition. The resort did undergo new management and like any company, it can take a bit to get things going. It is especially difficult when the resort is on a remote island only accessible by boat. Popa Paradise is the only establishment on Isla Popa and provides jobs for the 300 plus locals living in the island. Like the nice ladies that made us a Towel Swan every morning, the Fishing Guide who provided our Wahoo Dinner, the artisans who I can thank for the Coconut Oil Soaps and yummy Hot Sauce at Dinner! Or even a couple traveling through Central America, like Amber and Matt, who we met during our stay. During our stay at Popa Paradise, we also met a young couple living in Bocas, who had a beautiful wedding at the Resort this year! The resort is beautiful, especially for an off the beaten path wedding, that even the local couples marry there. I cannot wait to go back.
