Althought S Boutique Hotel wasn't in our plans, we we're beyond glad to experience it. We had a disappointing AirBnB nearby for two nights, which we ended up cancelling, leaving a day early. In this light, we booked S Boutique Hotel and messaged them, letting them know our situation and see if we could at least leave our bags and wait around before check-in. We made it to S around 9am. The first thing that called our attention was the thoughtfulness in design, respecting the natural elements, showcasing beautifully arranged wood, which dominates the landscape, supported by elegantly exposed concrete, all encompassed by the lush greenery around Isla Colon, with tasteful touches of glass, white contrasting pool chair sets, black painted bamboo dividers, etc. But the most striking aspect of S was the warm smile and professional behaviour of Jean. He immediately made us feel welcome, offering us coffee (which, again, comes in beautiful and thoughtful tableware) and check-in us smoothly. His conduct is one of competence, politeness, mixed with gentleness and friendliness, but most noticeably, humbleness and unpretentious, a rare combination we did not encounter much in Panama. Since we didn't had data, we couldn't see that Jean already had replied regarding our bags, reiterating us that the room was ready and just after our coffee, he guided us to it. The room follows the same natural theme. Concrete, white, wood, glass, elegant details in wicker. A citrussy essential oil hit us softly upong entering our room, enhancing our stay even further. Late at night, for some reason, water wasn't coming from the shower. I went down to ask Jean, which, along one of the owners, immediately went and fixed the issue in a matter of minutes. Again, the effectiveness in problem solving along with professionality in the way everyone at S carry themselves speaks highly of not just the Hotel, but the ideas, values and passions that had led this hotel to be made.

The property of Coralina Island house was much larger than expected. Beautiful place, Bali style. Excellent service. Great food. Very quiet and peaceful. Great walk in the jungle garden: trees, flowers, birds and monkeys (if you search well)

It is exactly as the photos show with a lovely pool with lots of very comfortable lounges both in shade and sun. No aircon but surprisingly didn’t need it in February. This is a long way from shops or restaurants but luckily the meals here are excellent and even though there is no menu the food is delicious at every meal and varied. We were there for 7 nights but always something different. The boat ride to go anywhere is from $10 per person or $15 to redfrog beach but then you have to pay $5 entrance fee. If you want a quiet but comfortable stay this is the place. Benoit and Fabienne are great hosts

Due to a big delay we arrived late, but they were very responsive and arranged everything. We wanted to stay one extra night, not a problem at all. Also on our last day I had a dive in the morning and they let me shower in the room afterwards! Breakfast is great and also very nice you can borrow bikes, snorkeling gear or the kayaks to go to one of the floating bars nearby.

In one word: wow! It's a little jewel hidden under a huge bamboo tree! The place is incredible, the room very comfortable, and the whole team really friendly and attentive. The place is brand new, the rooms too and you can feel that the owners have put all their heart into the construction, every detail has been chosen with great taste. I'll be back without hesitation and I recommend it 200%!

    The location off the beautiful Red Frog beach is the best feature of the place. The beach was not too crowded given we were off-season (April 18).The facilities are shaded by tropical / palm trees, well groomed.The staff at the reception was very friendly and helpful. The beach cabaña we rented was very clean, including the bathroom. The short walk through the jungle to the lodge is beautiful and sets the relaxed vibe of the place.

    The hostel was super cheap which was great for travellers (like us) who are on a budget. The option to rent a fan was great too although it actually wasn’t too hot at night. Loved the outside shower! It’s a little bit further out of town but only $1 for a taxi so not bad at all.

    Great location at beautiful Red Frog Beach, good guest guidance before arrival. The food in the restaurant did taste amazing. Would not recommend booking with breakfast, the menu is limited and it ends up cheaper to order directly from the menu. The dorm itself was spacious and elegant.

    This establishment was very pleasant, the accommodation is new and in perfect condition. The communal areas are spacious, airy and perfect for relaxing in the cool of the day! The hosts and staff are welcoming, kind and warm. The common areas and rooms are very clean! The kitchen is very convenient for eating on the go, as is the drinking water tank. Despite its central location, the night noise is not too disturbing (except during carnival time, but that's normal!) and this location is ideal for excursions, restaurants, shopping...
