everything was great -no complaints whatsoever

A slice of paradise with wonderful hosts, personalized care and great tours to explore the area. So much appreciated the efforts towards conservation and community engagement. An ideal place to disconnect and relax.

You can swim off the dock but not the best.

The food was delicious and good variety. Brian’s knowledge of the forest made our hikes so interesting. We saw sloths, monkeys and also dolphins all on a from their beautiful property.I loved all the different areas where you could relax with nice comfy furniture. The bed was also very comfortable.

What an amazing place! A real hideaway in the nature. Brian is so kind and authentic, he does everything to make sure his guests have a great time. Amy cooks the most amazing meals, super delicious! It was great to get to know them, and get to know the other guests. This was the highlight of our trip to Panama.

The hot water can be a bit intermittent and be prepared for no AC - they do have fans and dehumidifier - but it can be quite a sticky night.

What can we say about Dolphin Bay Hideaway that hasn’t already been written!? Brian and Amy are doing amazing work hosting guest and running a nature sanctuary. Brian’s infectious knowledge and passion for this conservation work is a must see. And Amy’s hospitality, drinks and welcoming is the perfect compliment. Kayak with the dolphins, go in one of Brian’s walks and eat their delicious food. What more do you need.

Right place for spending fantastic holidays away from the crowds of Bocas del Toro. Nice, colorful clean rooms, view over the bay where you can see dolphins jumping. Brian and Amy are just marvelous hosts that offer very interesting tours (snorkeling, dolphin spotting etc.) at fair prices and excellent food (on a long table with the other guests). It is not only called Dolphin Bay, there are really a lot of those noble creatures, apart from sloths, frogs, humming birds etc. Highly recommendable if you look for sustainable tourism (no plastic, renewable energy and careful usage of water).

Absolutly nothing!

We really loved our stay in Dolphin Bay Hideaway. It's one of the most beautyful places we ever visited. Brian and Amy are great hosts. The food was absolutly amazing (the best we eated in our on month stay in Panama). Brian took us on two jungle walks where we saw a lot of different plants and animals. The room was really nice with a comfortable bed and lovely equiped with everything you could possibly need like beach towels, bottles for drinking water, a dry bag and beach bag... Additionally they have kayaks, a kanu and paddleboards that you can use for free. We could go out in the bay with the canu and paddle with the dolphin wich was an amazing expierience. We are really happy that we stayed there and would recomend it a lot! Thank you for your amazing work!

More fans or one room with air conditioning would have made for more comfortable sleeping.

Wonderful owners and staff. Loved the home in stunning location. Screened deck was amazing! We ate all of our meals there. Great added value to include use of kayaks and paddleboards.

There wasn’t anything not to like. For us it was perfect.

We liked everything about this property. The rooms, the views, the wildlife, the food, the owners, and their amazing staff team.

As you are so far from civilization, you should realize the only way to get there is with water taxi, so you can not be that independent traveler. Fortunately, Dolphin Bay has kayaks and their own boats to take you any direction if asked.

Outstanding owners and staff. We have been helped every step of the way. Individual approach, so much personal attention given to us. We felt very special and taken care off. Various tours offered so you never get bored. Amazing food and drinks. You find yourself in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by pure nature, which turns out to be an exact place you should have been. Brian and Amy our respect for all that you're doing, hope to see you again!

It is a true paradise. You stay in a Bungalow surrounded by tropical plants. There are dolphins in the bay and you always can just put akyak. You will get served amazing food. All people who work there are amazing. There are interesting tours you don't want to miss.

The location was perfect. It is about a 20-30 min boat ride from Boca town. All the islands, snorkeling, dolphin and wildlife sightings we all within east reach. It was quiet and relaxing. At night the lack of light pollution resulted in a star show of a lifetime!

super friendly staff, the place is perfect to chill and relax, and Brian and Amy are running the place in a super eco friendly way, and we have loved that!

Stayed in January 2023

Hosts were super attentive. Lots of things to do like snorkeling or jungle trip with Brian (small extra fee) while Amy and her team take care of the great food. A wonderful place away from (mass) tourism on Bocas‘ main island. Free SUPs and Kayaks. Good internet.

Wonderful, calm place. The perfect getaway… Brian and Amy are fantastic hosts and the food is a dream!

The property is located in a beautiful bay with neighbours hidden by the jungle. You can swim, you can hike - but the nicest option is to just plain relax. The couple that run the place take care of all your worries and go the extra distance to ensure that you have pleasant stay. Great food and smoothies to keep you full and happy. In short, you can safely book here.

We are grateful that we found this place. going to bocas del Toro and not stay at Brian and Amy is like going to the beach and not get inside the water. If they have rooms available don't waste your time searching for someplace else in bocas. They are super welcoming, the food is excellent and they always make sure your day is full of adventures.
