Ok, I'll start from the end of it: now I'm back at Santiago (Chile) and whenever I feel down, I close my eyes and remember my stay at La Loma. We planned our trip to Bocas thinking that, at some point in the trip, we wanted to stay somewhere really different. We chose La Loma because of what we had... More

Stunning experience in every way. Cabins set right in the jungle - largely open air (with very well-tended mosquito nets offering the real protection). This means the wildlife is right on top of you - we had a sloth in a tree outside the cabin each day, monkeys passing through the trees overhead in the night, and amazing birds of... More

I'm not sure there's anything I can add to the already complete and glowing reviews on TA except to say that there's just something magical about this place. Our family of 3 (we have a 13 yo daughter) had the hardest time deciding where to stay in the Bocas region, and we are infinitely glad that we finally chose La... More

I spent so many cold and snowy winter days in front of my computer screen gazing at pictures of La Loma and transporting myself to this wonderful place time and again before I was able to get here for real at the end of March. Had I known that what awaited me was somehow even BETTER than what all of... More

We have stayed at several eco-resorts around Central America over the past couple years. I have to say that La Loma is right up there at the top of list. Henry, Margaret and their staff are all excellent and super friendly. Great attention to detail. The accommodations are luxurious. We set a pretty high bar for cuisine and every meal... More

We recently spent four nights at La Loma. We are always on the search for small sustainable lodges so have a good idea of of what we hope to get out of our travel experiences. Despite having done quite a bit of advance research on La Loma, our already high expectations were surpassed in every way. Henry and Margaret have... More

My wife and I stayed for 4 nights in early March and are still talking about our stay there. If you are considering a trip to Bocas you should stay at La Loma - you will not be disappointed. Every aspect of our stay including the reservation process was flawless. Henry and Margaret have created a very magical place in... More

My two girlfriends and I spent five nights at La Loma. My only regret is that my original flight from the USA was cancelled, so I ended up missing one day and night at La Loma. I cannot say enough about how incredible this place is! I loved the open-air cabins and the beautifully designed furniture. As others have noted,... More

If you are on the fence about whether or not to book a stay at La Loma, stop reading now and email your reservation! Henry and Margaret have created something incredibly special. The ranchos are comfortable and well appointed (solar lights, running water and ceiling fans), the food is amazing, the surroundings are gorgeous, and the La Loma staff /family... More

My boyfriend and I spent four nights at La Loma. It is far and away the best place that we've ever stayed (and we’ve been to lots of nice places). The cabins are beautifully designed yet still rustic. We stayed in cabin 4 which is the largest cabin. It has a great view of the jungle canopy and a good... More
