Perfection
From start to finish our stay was very lovely. It is definitely more like a bed-and-breakfast. You are staying in erika and Herbie’s beautiful home. Herbie cooks made to order delicious breakfast every morning with fresh coffee and fruit. The views are outstanding. We are so happy that we got to stay here. Thank you for having us.! I recommend doing the island tour. It was very relaxing with a beautiful white sand beach. I also recommend eating at La Costa. It was so delicious.

The property not only has breathtaking views but everything is immaculate and well maintained. My husband and I do a lot of traveling and this was the nicest bed and breakfast we’ve stayed in. The owners are super friendly and helpful. They made us feel welcomed and gave us the low-down on what to do and where to go in the area. They even booked an excursion for us. They treated us like royalty every morning by serving us a made to order breakfast. They work very hard at making sure everything is perfect for their guests. They have thought of everything to make guests feel comfortable. Not a detail is missed. We loved the pool. The water was the perfect temperature…refreshing but not too cold. We spent a lot of time relaxing there and admiring the views of the ocean and islands. I can’t say enough good things about Eco Lodge. It was more than just a place to stay. It was an amazing experience. It’s a great place to relax and get away. Thanks to Erika and Herbie for sharing their slice of heaven with us!

They run a tight ship, everything is looked after with the utmost care and the communal breakfasts are very pleasant for folks who want to meet and converse with others whether traveling alone or with a companion. Views from the pool are spectacular (lots of lovely birds) and hosts were responsive when we messaged for info prior to arrival helped us arrange a tour in a matter of seconds. They were also incredibly considerate of our dietary needs and served a very hearty breakfast, encouraging us to eat well before our tour. Drinking water readily available at no extra cost. Air conditioning and hot water for showers were both great. If you like the idea of always present and attentive hosts watching over everything and anticipating every need and are willing to stay somewhere eco-friendly (which means reading and following rules) this is a fabulous option (excellent value!) We had a small rental car and that was all we needed to get up the hill to this property. We walked partway down the hill to dinner at the restaurant next door...one guest even did it (up and down) in crutches!

Both my wife and I felt like we were at the home of a friend or relative because of the way they treated us and how attentive our hosts were to the smallest detail. The view from the pool is spectacular and the breakfast is super complete. It is a place to visit annually. It is definitely the best lodging in the area.
Thanks H and E.

Beautiful quiet small venue surrounded by many species of plants and birds. Easy access to water activities at Boca Chica wharf. Several excellent restaurants. Best of all the innkeepers Erica and Herbie are very gracious and provide great breakfast each morning. This is a resort area under development by the local and national gov'ts so there were many areas of construction coming down from the PanAm highway as well as very rough side roads leading to this property and restaurants in the vicinity. This area is all built on a hillside with high elevations. A challenge for small cars -- larger vehicles, like SUVs or four wheel drive can make things more bearable.

We were totally spoiled by Erika and Herbie. They treated us like family and helped immensely in making sure our visit to Boca Chica was wonderful and that the remainder of our time in Panama was filled with ideas on where to go and what to see. They even checked in after we left to make sure we arrived at our next destination! We loved the pool and our room has a stunning view. We miss it already!

The hosts were fabulous. They were attentive to detail and really wanted their guests to have a wonderful experience. Erika arranged an island hopping trip with Roxie that was very fun and reasonable. HErbie helped us with a flat tire. The breakfast was great and it was fun to get to know their other guests. Thanks so much! We loved it!
