We had the suite with the private pool and it is gorgeous. The attention to detail in decor throughout the property is amazing. There is free pickup at the ferry and the welcome drink is a nice touch. The owner greets everyone at check in and was onsite during our stay. The view is awesome, staff is fabulous and food/drinks at the restaurant are great.
This HILLSIDE property is 12 minutes walk or a 3 minute taxi ride from the beach. Cerrito Tropical Eco Lodge offers comfortable relaxing accommodations with an ocean view Plunge Pool and Sun-Terrace.

The place is great, slightly secluded and quiet, nice walking distance from places to get steps in. The room was spacious and super comfortable. The shower was an unexpected gem, great pressure and sensitive to whatever temp chosen

It had such a lovely aesthetic about it, it was beautiful to sit outside in the garden area and relax during our stay. The location was fantastic - everything was a 2-5 minute walk. The staff were friendly & really helpful.

The food is good there. I do like the breakfast. It has changed hands in the last year or so and the relaxed vibe is gone. But overall not bad. Just not as good as it was.

A nice getaway from the city, there are relaxing spots and party spots. You can walk the whole island in no time or take a golf cart where you want to go. Overall the island is very dirty though and might not be the right vibe for some. Most of the beaches have trash everywhere and many trash containers overflow. Folks will tell you the trash come from the city but there is plenty generated here on the island. Honda beach seems a bit cleaner but when the tide comes in about 90% of the beach disappears. For a good meal in and a fantastic view visit Villa Capriocha, its costs a bit more bet definately worth it.

I advise to stay min for 2 nights as it is truly different when all "one day tourists" come and go and you have all island to yourself. The city itself is faced the sunrise so you can start you day early and enjoy it and till 10 am there will be few people and the crowd mainly leave at 15:45, hence you back to quite again.
Although not many restaurant are opened after 19:30 but you can always enjoy your drink on the beach to in the hotel + to be in quite with yourself.

The island has a lot of potential for tourism.
The island has a lot of potential for tourism. Right now they need to invest more in their beach facilities, maybe a better "food court" or food area with better chairs and tables. Also they need to make sure visitors pick up their trash after them.

The beach is lovely...its worth walking along the sandbar and rest on / near the little island. Lots of cheap food and drink on offer at the beach and some shopping. A few other good places to eat near ferry point. I loved Mundi's. Evening options limited. This is really a beach and walking location (if you start early in the day...Hot!). There is limited offer for food, drink, shopping. But thats the beauty of the place.....

Taboga is a lovely spot for soaking up the sun.
Taboga is a lovely spot for soaking up the sun. It's only 30mins ferry -$24 return- from Panama City and charming. If you are doing a day trip make sure you have booked your return in advance particularly on the weekends when it is a big hit with locals too.

Taboga Island was very relaxing and quiet.
Taboga Island was very relaxing and quiet. My favorite place to go there was the cafe in the church plaza. Also, on low tide, you can lounge on the beach that stretches to the small island nearby. Unfortunately, most of the restaurants and water activities do not open every day or sometimes at all on the days that they are supposed to be open. It can be hard to find food at night so it is a good idea to make reservations at the callaloo restaurant. And make sure that your hotel is not next to a chicken coop because of the noise. We had a very positive experience staying on the island. We went for a very long hike and got lost on the way down but it was very worth it for the view. It was very nice to get out of the city and go to the beach on Taboga Island. The ferry that takes you to the island for $10 each way is called tabogaexpress and they also do snorkeling tours. They are very friendly and were so accommodating to us. It was a great experience!
Really relaxing outdoor area with different seating options, hammocks and a small plunge pool. Made us stay an another day just for relaxing.
It is a quite steep hike the last 100 m to the hotel, but if you are reasonably fit it is no problem.
The room had a working aircondition and fan. The beds were not too comfortable, found them quite hard.
Breakfast good, with fresh fruit.
More than a hotel we felt we were visiting family. David and Maria were great hosts. Their cocktails and conversation were superb. He even went to say bye to us at the Ferry, when we left early. The view from the pool was great. It was good to be there a Sunday (less people in the pool and town). They are serious about keeping the place spotless.
This hotel is a little slice of paradise in paradise. It's lovely, extremely clean and well built, and the views are amazing. The staff was so friendly and nice. I don't know if I can go back to being a beach-goer after experiencing the luxury of enjoying that view while floating in a clean, temperate pool 😄
A beautiful property on a tranquil island only 40 minutes from bustling Panama City. Beautifully decorated and appointed, this hotel is a great get away. With its restaurant, Villa Caprichosa is the only place you need to go in Taboga. But visit the town and enjoy its laid back charms.
Cynthia was always in contact with us since we made our reservation. Gave us al the important tips to get to the island and to the hotel. Marleny also took care of details and answered all the questions we had. The view from the hotel is fantastic and our room was spacious.
charming boutique hotel located above the town overlooking the ocean a short ferry ride from Panama City. Very gracious owner Diane Burn, attentive staff, delicious meals, delightful accommodation with European flair. Perfect place to relax.
Lovely property. Staff are great and Vicki was amazing. Breakfast was great and they also have a deal with a local restaurant that delivers to the hotel. Rooms are very spacious and next time I'll go for two nights instead of one!
Our stay was truly a small taste heaven. I consider myself somewhat of a hotel snob, and even I was blown away by the uniqueness of this special place. Service was absolutely pleasant, and the space is peaceful.
The property had beautiful views, was super clean and accommodating. The owners were always around and always eager and willing to ensure that your island getaway was as special and relaxing as possible.
Beautiful hotel and room with private terrace, relaxing pool environment from which to watch the world go by. Very helpful staff and chatting with Diane (the owner) made us feel very welcome.
Breakfast was good (though charge extra $2 for things like bacon etc which is strange. Dinner good. Beautiful and interesting view (ships waiting for Panama Canal). A special hotel
Wonderful little hotel run by lovely Dave. Great location close to ferry and the beach. Very nice pool area. Beach much better than some older reviews: clean, no rubbish.
