We left Panama city on an early morning flight, a small plane, which allowed beautiful scenery and a fantastic journey experience. On arriving at Boca (the smallest 'airport' we have ever seen), we were met and escorted... More

Our stay at Popa was excellent! From the moment you are picked up on the main island, to the time you leave the dock to go back, was magical. We were upgraded to the junior suites from the casita's , which were excellent. The rooms are big, and airy. We were with another couple so having the big porch area... More

We used a travel agent whose description of this hotel was "luxurious." This is a very rustic hotel in need of major updating. The management was very kind, but the facilities need major work. We stayed in the rooms close to the pool, not the cabanas. Our bathroom reminded me of what a cheap motel in Miami would look like-... More
