La Loma was a magical experience. The location, the views, the jungle, the food… I was visited by monkeys, sloths, tropical birds, armadillos, frogs, bats… I woke one night to see a sloth silhouetted by the moonlight. The room was dreamlike and the tropical rain and frog chorus provided the perfect backdrop. Big thanks to Juan Carlos for being a great host, and to the lovely yoga instructor (I’m so sorry I can’t remember your name!). The food was delicious, and I thought it was a nice touch to offer packed lunches for day trips! Thanks for a great, memorable week. I felt like I *was* the Rainforest Queen.
I was a solo traveller, and there weren’t many other guests, so I wasn’t able to do any of the tours. In some cases had a minimum person limit, or in others they wanted to charge me double. This was a bit of a shame but I made use of the free kayak, the onsite short hiking trail and the daily boat transfer to red frog beach.

The food was incredible and so fresh. You could tell the kitchen staff really prided themselves on their food. The lodge itself was phenomenal and far exceeded our expectations. They were waiting on us hand and foot and were able to complete every request with ease and speed. The cocktails were special every night and incredible. The jungle sounds were amazing, the views were amazing, and the privacy of each bungalow was perfect. You also get fresh cocao tea and muffins delivered fresh to your room every morning at 7 am (even when its pouring)! Would absolutely, 100%, without a doubt return!
if you have a high aversion to insects, an outdoor lodge is not for you. The netting around the bed was perfect and spacious and we never had any issues while sleeping. However all common spaces are open air, so a few bugs may pay a visit. Nothing harmful though! We even saw a stick bug, which I found really unique! (I dont like bugs touching me and I had no issues staying here)

What an amazing time we had at the Loma Jungle Lodge! From the moment Mr Kelly (boat driver) picked us up to when we arrived at the boat deck with Sofia and Juan Carlos waiting for us to every moment in which the staff was always happy to see us and help us. The room is spectacular just at the tree canopy so you get to see the jungle life every second of the day. All kind of birds. Green lush as far as your eyes can see. The lodge is in Isla Bastimento which is definitely a sanctuary and we hope it stays like that. The food is another high point of the trip. Every meal is prepared right before and by the wonderful cooking staff. Delicious local produce and local recipes which makes you feel great all day long. Actually, we couldn't wait for the next meal. The dinner experience was even better with the great service of Virgilio. Thank you. Don't be afraid of the rain. It was wonderful to experience a bit of rain and the rooms are totally fine even with the open concept. The open concept for each room makes the whole experience even better morning to evening. Thank you thank you for the staff friendliness and making our stay unforgettable
Nothing to report :)

It is a cool remote location, where you can really switch off and enjoy the jungle. The food was great and the service exceptional! The greatest part was a sloth that enjoyed his time super close to the main lodge. We also really enjoyed the farm tour and could try a lot of the organic produce.
Be aware of the loud noises of the jungles and a lot of animals and bugs.

A magical experience. The photos don't do the view and surroundings any justice. The climb up to the room can be tough so not appropriate for people that aren't physically able. Food was amazing and the staff was wonderful as well. Would recommend this place 10/10 times.
After a long day bopping around the islands, climbing up to the room was tough but WOW were the views worth it once you got there.

Each cabin in located in a great spot for each is private from the others, yet centrally located to lobby. It is very peaceful and relaxing environment. The ceiling fans In the rainforest rooms are also huge, so it doesn’t even feel hot at night while sleeping, with a large net to protect from bugs. The staff could not have been more friendly and accommodating. They made me feel so comfortable and not afraid to ask questions or need help. The farm tour with Mr. Kelly was very I formative and fun. I learned so much not just about the farm, but Panamá and how to be more eco-friendly (they even use banana leaves to wrap trash cans instead of plastic bags). He also helped us find a baby sloth sleeping in a tree. By far the best place I have ever stayed, especially someone who just needs a break from people and work. I would 100% live and work here if I could. BOOK THIS PLACE NOW.
MAYBE tell me the lunch/dinner menu the morning of in case modifications are needed.

Everything was amazing! The staff, food, bungalow and all the tours that were arranged for us. The bioluminescence tour and snorkeling were completly out of this world! The farm tour was also amazing and we got to see a sloth for the first time! I will remember this place always as being a great place to relax, enjoy nature and find some calm and zen! It felt quite the adventure for us sleeping in the jungle but being complelty comfortable with all the facilities of the bungalow and communal area of the lodge. Thanks to everyone at the jungle lodge we had a great time!
Nothing!

Tree houses are amazing. Self sufficient facility (energy and water) It is a chance to sleep with high comfort but fully open to nature. A chance for a free chocolate farm tour to better understand the process from tree nut to chocolate cake. The meals are five stars restaurant quality: creative, fresh, cooked with local and property grew legumes and fruits. A chance to see sloths and monkeys. An unique experience not to miss.
It is an expensive experience (but worth the money) No beach access. To get to any beach , you need to take a water taxi. The bay is full of sand flees and mousquitoes. The two trails from the hotel are small and notimmersive to Jungle like experience.

You can see monkeys and sloths around the hotel. The views from the bed are amazing. Super clean. Amazing food. Great staff. Extremely comfortable bed.
You are a bit limited when you want to move around the island because they only offer water taxi boat to the village Old Bank and Red Frog Beach ($15 and $10 each roundtrip). You depend on them if you want to leave the hotel and visit because you need a boat.

Being fully immersed in the jungle is such an experience! Monkeys came to visit, saw so many animals/birds. Food was so so good! The organic chocolate has no match… just heavenly! Loved the bioluminescence excursion at night. Wonderful people at the facility. Really enjoyed it a lot!
Nothing. All was just perfect for us.
