My family and I have just returned from the number one of all Panama Resorts on the beach! Red Frog Beach is in Bocas del Toro and we rented a Villa for a week. First off, we paid about the same for a week in a 2,500 sq. ft. house in Bocas del Toro, as we would for 2 nights in a mediocre suite in Las Vegas. Our house included our own pool, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, flatscreen T.V’s, and a view to die for! We got a resort adventure package, so our week included snorkel gear, boogie boards, 2 boat tours, and the most insane cave tour! If you have ever seen the movie, “The Goonies” you might be able to understand how awesome this tour was. Wading in water up to our necks while bats were flying overhead, and jumping off of a big rock, hundreds of meters back in a cave……INSANE!! I don’t think that any of the other Panama Resorts near a nice beach could offer what this place has.
The morning of our second day in Bocas del Toro at Red Frog Beach started with a fantastic boogie board session on Turtle Beach at 8AM, (about a 5 min walk) and ended with a walk back seeing 2 sloths and a monkey!! We had a great BBQ on our balcony, and went on the most fabulous Catamaran Tour ever! Red Frog Beach cannot be rivaled by any of the other Panama Resorts.
Our third day started a bit slow due to some bottles of wine on our catamaran tour, but the fresh ocean air opened our eyes right up, and we continued down to the beautiful Bocas Bound campus and had a wonderful breakfast. We met some great people that were about to depart on a Panama snorkeling tour, and they asked us to join, and went to Corral Cay, and Zapatillas. These may have been the most beautiful snorkeling spots of any of the Panama Resorts!!! I never knew how crazy and hilarious the Dutch were!!!!
Day 4 started similar to day 3, but we were up early because some of the friendly staff at Bocas Bound had let everyone know that there was swell coming in, and the Bocas surf was going to be fantastic! We reserved some surfboards the night before, and got back down to Bocas Bound about 9AM, grabbed the boards and sprinted down to the beach. We were all taken back a few notches when we saw the size of these Bocas del Toro waves! The day before they were about 4 foot, and today they had jumped up to 6-7 ft.! It took us about an hour and a half to realize that they were a bit too big for us, and went to the beach to relax and have a beer at “Punta Lava” the Red Frog beach bar. Just another PERFECT day at the best of all Panama Beach Resorts!
The last 2 days were a lot more relaxed, taking tours around the islands and enjoying the sights of our two favorite Panama Resorts: Red Frog Beach Club, and Bocas Bound Island Hostel! They even have a canopy tour that will be done in about 3 weeks from now! We were able to take advantage of all the beautiful hiking trails that were already completed beneath the ziplines, so we could see the ropes course about 100 feet above us!
I hope any and all that read this, that are looking for the newest and best of all the Panama Resorts on the beach–will go and visit this slice of heaven! It doesn’t get any better than Isla Bastimentos. I know that everyone back home will definitely get an earful of the top of the top echelon of all Panama Beach Resorts!!! Thank you Red Frog Beach, and Bocas Bound!!!!
