What a gem. I was sad to leave. We were there 3 nights and would have loved to stay two more nights. Our guide Roger was excellent. His world class knowledge and about birds and animals along with his uncanny ability to spot the creatures I would have never seen on my own made the experience magical. The management and staff are casually friendly and interesting to talk to and always happy to give advice. The food is excellent. Of course the fruit is out of this world and the prepared food was, without exception, fresh, well seasoned, and delicious. The rooms are spacious and clean, though I wish there was a simple wooden bench and hooks on the wall to help keep my stuff organized. We took nature hikes, sloshed through a bat cave, kayaked around the mangrove islands, snorkeled, climbed the observation tower, and generally relaxed while watching the amazing variety of birds, plus monkeys, sloths and much more.

Lovely place very well managed by hosts Renee and Jay, who coordinate every detail of your stay. Beautiful surroundings, excellent birdwatching with an outstanding local guide, Roger Morales. Very friendly and capable staff, from kitchen to dock. We had cabin # 9, beautifully appointed, clean and comfortable. We had an amazing week, full of exciting adventures.

This is a really great place to visit. Everything is just perfect. A beautiful location, beautiful and comfortable accommodation, good food, excellent guides and excellent staff. The captains and guides were very responsible with regard to safety of the guests and care for the environment. The biodiversity out there is huge and the guides help you make the most of it. We came specifically for some bird watching and snorkeling. Both were superb. We saw close to a hundred species of bird, thanks to the amazing guides Roger and Brenda. Among them snowy cotingas, huge numbers of red-lored parrots and mealy parrots, stub-tailed spadebill, olive-backed and white-vented euphonias and a semiplumbeous hawk. The snorkeling was good too. Nurse shark, too many reef fish to mention, colorful sponges and corals, a barracuda and lots more. Highly recommended and we will be back!

What a beautiful lodge, tucked in the unique area of Panama. This was our first time in Panama and I would always recommend Tranquilo Bay to those interested in seeing the best of the country. The staff and guides for all day activities were fantastic, so friendly and helpful in every way. Food was great and they were very accommodating of dietary needs. We saw over 200 birds and many many reptiles and mammals in our trip to Bocas Del Toro. Really cannot recommend Tranquilo Bay enough to be your starting point for Panama adventures!

Absolutely wonderful experience in late March/early April. Stayed for 7 days and loved every minute of it! Incredible birding and other wildlife and tons of fun adventures accessible from the lodge. Roger was an amazingly informative and friendly guide, 10/10 no notes.
