Hotel Eclypse de Mar Lodge

An amazing oasis. The bungalows are beautiful with immediate access to the water, personal touches, great food, marine and wildlife nearby. The staff was great, some folks are straight to the point and offer a smile others are going above and beyond to provide everything you may want and need which is a great balance. The food was good although only breakfast is included in the cost. The food wasn’t expensive generally, pretty comparable to prices in the nearby town. Boat taxis to beaches and town are readily available.

Awesome place in one of the most beautiful places in the world. The restaurant is good, but lacks variety. I can't wait to go back here! Would be great if they had a refrigerator in the rooms, but that's no show stopper. Very friendly staff and great service. I will back here next year.

We had the most magical stay at Eclypse de Mar. A jewel in Bocas, the perfect retreat to disconnect and unwind. Our nature tour with Alejandro was spectacular. We saw two types of sloths, frogs, caymans, and tasted cocoa beans fresh off the plant, all just steps away from our bungalow. We loved having food available in the lovely restaurant, and having breakfast delivered to our bungalow where we could feed the fish while we enjoyed a relaxing morning. The staff and owner were super kind and helpful and make us feel so welcome. They told us just where to find the best snorkeling which we accessed with the free kayaks just offshore. The bungalow itself is heaven on earth, with a perfect view of Old Bank and dreamy swimmable waters right off your private deck. Favorite place I’ve ever stayed and I can’t wait to return someday.

We had a very special stay at Eclipse de Mar as we got engaged and what a gorgeous setting it gave us! This hotel is on a quieter island called Isla Bastimentos but it’s only a 10 minute water taxi to Bocas Town. The water taxis are very flexible, run at all times and easy to get. We stayed in a treehouse which was very clean, a huge comfortable bed and incredible setting amongst the trees with the sounds of nature creeping through. There is no air con in the treehouses, it can get quite humid downstairs but there is a small fan upstairs which is nice to have on throughout the night. The hotel staff were very helpful and there’s kayaks, paddle boards and snorkels that you can use for free! The only reason we’ve rated this a 4 instead of a 5 is due to the evening meal selection being quite limited, but we didn’t mind that as we enjoy eating at different places. Thank you for a very special stay!

We stayed at Eclypse de Mar in one of their hotel rooms for five nights, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. The setting is breathtaking—nestled in nature, surrounded by clear waters and lush greenery. The overwater bungalows and the eco-friendly design make the property truly unique. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. We especially appreciated the peaceful atmosphere, which allowed us to completely disconnect and relax. The room was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything we needed. It felt cozy and in harmony with the natural environment around us. The location is perfect for exploring the surrounding areas, whether you’re into snorkeling, hiking, or just soaking in the beauty of Bocas del Toro. We highly recommend Eclypse de Mar to anyone looking for a unique and tranquil getaway. We would definitely stay here again!
