We spent two nights and three whole days at Hacienda del Mar. We took the small flight from Panama City--HDM made the booking, for the same price as on the Air Panama website. The plane there had nine people, total--two pilots, our family of four (children ages 4 and 6), and three guys who worked at the resort. Generally, I... More

The place is quite exclusive, the only way to get there is by private yacht or by small plane and the resort is the only building on the whole island (besides a few fishermen huts I am told). The island is pretty big, (second largest of the Las Perlas archipelago) it includes many secluded beaches and a lush tropical forest... More

This is not the place for everyone, but it was absolutely wonderful for us.The location, the views and the fact that it is away from everything. Complete relaxation. We had the "Blue Lagoon" beach to ourselves 99% of the time, the resort was not full. We could watch our kids (9 and 12) from our balcony. The kids could roam... More

You will have no clue to what is going on - no directions on where to go, times, and etc. Also, no Internet and Mosquitos that are immune to Off repellent. Very expensive and nothing is included. We (2 people) stayed and spent $400 in food and drinks for two days. We left early too!

One of the best experience in Panama! The hotel is right on the beach. Rooms are comfortable huts (not Marriott comfy, but very good for an eco-lodge) with view on the beach or see. The hotel is surrounded by parrots and tucan flight around; this is just unique! Prices are quite high but totally worth it. A extended week-end is... More

Hacienda del Mar is an experience not to be missed! The short flight from Panama City was easy even for sometime like me who is nervous on small planes. We were picked up from the airport by the owner of the airline, island and hotel - George Novey. George was charming and informative. We were greeted at the front desk... More

We recently spent 3 nights at Hacienda Del Mar and although this place is not for everyone, I think for the right person HDM is the perfect choice. The site of this property is spectacular and probably one of the nicest locations I have ever been to. I have been all over the world and the beaches and ocean viewe... More

...of a beautiful spot and our precious days off and travel time. I visited here with 3 friends and was thoroughly disappointed. I'm fine with rustic, and love sleeping to the sound of the ocean in a cabin-like setting, but there needs to be some maintenance of basic comforts such as beds that aren't saggy and cause your back to...

We had a horrible experience at this hotel. The location is quite beautiful, so it's a true disappointment that the experience was not better. I went with three close female friends. Initially we were the only guests, until other guests arrived. And the owners were not present the entire time. I'm not sure if this was part of the problem,... More
