Boca Chica Bay Eco Lodge

Wonderful hotel with great views. The hosts are very attentive and serve a great breakfast. We felt very at home in this cozy environment. There are nearby restaurants and activities. High recommend for a unique, relaxing, one of a kind experience.

One of the most spectacular views I've seen. Breathtaking. Never gets old. From the terrace and infinity pool you are looking down at an island bejeweled sea in shades of turquoise, green, and blue. Erika and Herbie went out of their way to make us feel welcomed and special. We loved our casita, private, spacious, and comfortable with a really useful microwave and fridge. Breakfast was delicious, generous, and varied. The internet was super and enabled me to work from a remote and beautiful location. A special property.

Our gracious hosts greeted us personally. We were taken aback immediately by the views. The resort is very beautiful and well maintained. The infinity pool was one of our our favorite places to be. Hummingbirds zoomed by us on the mirador. There were more hummingbirds than I’ve ever seen in one place before. We awoke to birds and howler monkeys. It is a magical place to experience the best of the natural beauty of Boca Chica.

This place is absolutely beautiful. The rooms are clean, the pool area is incredible. We could watch the hummingbirds in the trees and it truly is a place to relax. HErbie was always available via email or whatsapp and organized an island tour for us which was also really nice. Boca chica is a place to relax, there is a nice restaurant just a few steps away so if you look for nature and calm hours at the pool you should spend some nights with Herbie and Erika. Herbie even offered to drive us to our next hotel in boquete (2h drive) for a way cheaper fare than other taxis would have offered which was nice. One thing I want to mention is that I do have to agree with some of the reviews about the very strict vibe that Herbie creates in his home. Maybe they had some bad experiences how other people behaved but we were a bit surprised. There are two big open kitchen and we wanted to cut open a fruit we bought at a shop and appearently we were not supposed to touch the dishes. Since this house is in the middle of nowhere I would have expected this not to be a problem as long as we clean up. Also on our first morning we suggested having breakfast outside (where there are also tables 2 meters away from the kitchen) which was actually denied since the table was already set up inside. If you offer a beautiful view like that I would actually expect some flexibility when it comes to that. What I found actually most disturbing is that in our two days Herbie frequently harshly talked to Erika which gave us a weird feeling when laying in a hammock and listening to them "argue" but maybe it was just a coincidence and bad timing. To summarize: Highly recommend spending some days at the lodge but it would be great if the hosts would be a bit more flexible.

The view is AMAZING, the rooms are extremely comfortable. This is a great place to relax and relieve all the stress you might have. Erika and Herbie are outstanding hosts and they serve delicious and more than complete breakfast every morning. We will come back next year for sure!

My wife and I stayed at Boca Chica Eco lodge for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay with our host Herbie and Erica. They were very welcoming and ensured we had all the knowledge needed for the area from boat tours which we highly recommend to restaurants in the area. Herbie was very entertaining and kept all guests laughing especially at breakfast time. We would highly recommend staying here and will return in the future.
