The place and the crew are absolutely amazing. My wife and I spent our honeymoon there this past October. Peace and quite are nice while on vacation, but Latin Caribbean music playing from the other end of the island was freaking awesome! It just made our experience that much better. If you know anything about Panama, you should know that... More

This was paradise! The setting is beautiful and the accomodations are great. Watching the tropical fish, sunning, snorkling, kayaking-all right from your room. The music from across the bay just added to the atmophere and was enjoyable. The food at the hotel was very good. Be sure to walk the paths on grounds. We saw a sloth on one such... More

My Family (2 kids 7 and 9) stayed at Eclypse and loved it. In our opinion bungalo #4 was the best because we could sit out at night (once the kids passed out) and hear the fun Caribbean music and see the lights right from our porch. That was our favorite time of day...so relaxing. We saw a pufferfish every... More

The cabins do look lovely in their orange over the water that is true. And it is great to be able to swim right off your own little deck (the water may or may not be clear depending on rain but it is still warm). And oh, so lovely to sit back and watch the sun set and then the... More

Took a water taxi out to Bastimentos (don't pay more than $3)and as we approached Eclypse de Mar, it looked like everything I had dreamed of. I had often seen places like this in travel books, but never thought I would get to stay in one. As we approached the dock we were greeted by a staff member who welcomed... More

When we learned a day before our flight to Bocas that it was cancelled, we immediately bought bus tickets and braved an 10 hour bus ride from Panama City to Altamirante. We wanted to make it to Bocas for our stay at the Eclypse de Mar. We ended up arriving about seven hours earlier than we were supposed to, in... More

Our family of 6 (4 daughters ages 15-21) stayed in two bungalows over Christmas. I had read the reviews, so we were aware of the limited electricity, music across the bay at all hours, and the sometimes problematic plumbing. The music wasn't so loud, so that was not an issue. The plumbing in the honeymoon suite bungalow was a bit... More

We stayed 5 nights of our honeymoon in one of the honeymoon suites and was very satisfied. We had the opportunity to explore most of the area during our visit. Transport to the different islands is rather simple and the hotel will help you set up any excursion you choose to do. We liked the honeymoon suite a lot but... More

We stayed at Eclypse de Mar for 3 nights on our honeymoon. There was a mix up with our booking, but they went out of their way to resolve it and Pablo was great. The rooms are beautiful (it's worth the extra money to get the extra space of the honeymoon suites) and the staff were all very friendly and... More
