Eclypse de Mar Acqua Lodge

Wonderful stay! We booked 5 nights in the over the water bungalows. 8 friends, 2 bungalows. From the moment we stepped off the water taxi from Bocas we were enchanted by this location. Comfortable, spotlessly clean and well appointed bungalows, with an amazing breakfast included. We had some lovely meals there, watched the boat go out in the morning to get the days catch and having fresh caught fish for dinner was very cool. Food was fresh and beautifully presented. Free use of kayaks and paddleboards, which we took advantage of. The staff was wonderful and very accommodating, we enjoyed interacting with them. Definitely recommend staying at Eclypse Del Mar!

My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights for our honeymoon, and it was an absolute dream. The bungalows were luxurious, the staff very friendly and accommodating, and food delicious (breakfast delivered in the morning was a bonus!). We used the bungalows as a base to explore the jungles (having a nature reserve behind was icing on the cake), as well as island hop (including taking guided tours offered by the hotel that were fantastic). We found it so peaceful and relaxing, and are already talking about returning next year.

Wow this was one of the best places we’ve stayed in, we had a jungle cabana in the middle of the nature reserve. We saw sloths, monkeys and alligators near our cabin and the service and food were very good! See the pictures i took, all near our jungle cabin

I am not burying the lead on this one. There is thumping regaeton bass and music heard loud across the bay until the early hours of the morning coming from a disco in the town near the resort, so unless you can sleep through that this place is not for you. We somehow missed that info in other reviews. I would never come back here, and am very disappointed.

Beautiful on the water bungalows‼️ Excellent reception and staff. Above & beyond personal service and very detailed oriented‼️ A wonderful place to stay on your visit. We had no problems on our lovely stay. The food was very good and we had an amazing time...

My wife and two boys (12 & 9) just came back from a wonderful stay at Eclypse de Mar. The over the water bungalows were a unique and fantastic experience. We loved having breakfast in the room as the boys jumped in the water. The nature walk in the back is real jungle. We saw all kinds of fish below the bungalow and enjoyed feeding the fish from the coffee table. A few things to know. You can only get to and from the hotel by water taxi. Bring more cash than you expect. To get around the archipelago, we had a driver take us around in a water taxi and borrowed snorkel gear from the hotel. We liked the flexibility but they seem to offer more formal excursions. The music from bars across the bay carries over the water and I needed the ear plugs the hotel provided. We were told that Sunday nights are particularly bad. There's no air conditioning but the breeze was wonderful, even though everything was damp from the humidity. Finally, know that you can't flush toilet paper down the toilet, they have trash cans in the bathroom. It takes an adventurous spirit, but this experience was one of our favorite parts of Panama.
