Hotel Eclypse de Mar Acqua Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Really wonderful bungalows! It was great to swim right off our deck. Spacious, clean, and the shower worked well. Not many bugs, but lots of fish - especially at night. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We booked some really fun and affordable tours, ate at their restaurant a few times, and really enjoyed the breakfast in the room. The staff made it really easy to arrange water taxis. We also used the kayaks (free) and loved the nature walk around the property. There was a lot of wildlife - including some cayman in the pond. We were very happy we selected this place! Would highly recommend."

"an exceptional wellness hotel, small in size and giant in exceptional and Service and Luxury and the things you can’t buy like peace and quiet and freedom from screeching, ill-mannered young children. It was an added bonus to find out the hotel was child-free. We have stayed at some amazing luxury properties, but the bug bear is always the screaming children and I’m talking, screaming and howlering and racing around and hogging all the attention and the parents do nothing but look at their phones. The amazing wellness spa is incredible the treatments world class, the setting phenomenal. You’ll see this from the photos anyway but what makes this place truly special is the absolute passion and purpose behind its creation and the way that you are treated throughout your stay. The food at the restaurant is incredible and the complementary breakfast exceptional the only negative that I would say is that it like most of panama The resort doesn’t seem to have a care about no smoking and no vaping and that was unpleasant people smoking around you including they let people come for day passes so all sorts of nomadic people can come and use the pool smoke away and create content with their selfie sticks. I thought that the smoking was really unpleasant and quite surprising for a wellness property, but I understand not everyone will agree. I also love that there were no televisions in the rooms and the music was really Chillaxx and very pleasant to listen to not intrusive, I"

"Keeping in mind the value for money, this was our review of a 5 day stay in the over water villa. The Great: The property itself carries the weight of this resort. The villa was spacious with amazing views and the flexibility to spend 24/7 in your villa if you wished through room service, swimming, and water activities. Bar and Food were both great, from friendly staff to an extensive menu and flexibility to make substitutions. The spa is exceptional, situated in a tree house with breathtaking views and a variety of services. Seemless transportation from the airport. Where it fell short: Construction: While any property requires maintenance, the selling feature of relaxation and privacy in your villa is lost with workers consistently working on the decks around you or on neighbouring villas with loud power tools. No notice given or reparations for all the disturbances. Attention to detail: At this price level, and considering there are only 20 guests at any time on the resort, we had experiences like spelling my name wrong, dirty curtains in the villa, staff not following up. Additionally after 2 days of asking for hot sauce with breakfast, or sugar with coffee, it felt odd to have to continue to ask all 5 days. Consistency: I do acknowledge the resort on an island, and perhaps some ingredients are difficult to get. But ordering the same menu item or drink does get you the same thing every day. For example drinks blended or not, quesadilla meat flavour, and sides."
