Red Frog Beach Island Resort

Our first trip to Bocas del Toro was made even better by staying at Red Frog, which proved to be a fantastic choice. The property is well-maintained, with beautiful grounds and clean pools. We stayed in a Jungle Lodge, which was cozy and comfortable. It had a small but fully equipped kitchen, a comfortable bed, a TV with Netflix (including English options), and a lovely patio where we enjoyed listening to the afternoon rainstorms. The bathroom was spotless, with great water pressure. The only minor downside was that it stayed a little warm at night, even with the AC on, but that’s to be expected in this region. I’m glad we reserved a golf cart in advance, as getting around the large and hilly property would have been difficult without one, especially in the rain or at night. Just be aware that while the cart is advertised at $65 per day, our final bill came to $100 per day due to taxes and fees. One tip: stop by a market after landing in Bocas Town to stock up on groceries. We had planned to eat at the two on-site restaurants, but The Point Pizza Bar, which is still listed on the website, had closed months before our visit. The other option, La Rosa Beach Club, is advertised as being open daily from 8 AM to 10 PM, but one night it was closed by 7 PM. Fortunately, we had picked up some wraps and deli meat from The Red Frog Market on arrival, so we were able to make dinner back in our lodge. However, the market was unexpectedly closed two out of the three days we stayed, so don't rely on it for all your needs. It had basic items like beer, liquor, deli meats, and pantry staples, but the deli counter was closed during our visit. The beaches were stunning, quiet, and easy to access. At most, there were a handful of other people around, and we loved spotting the tiny crabs that popped out of the sand at Red Frog Beach. For a fun day trip, I highly recommend booking a boat tour with Crossing by Sugar. He took us on an incredible island-hopping adventure at a great price, picking us up and dropping us off right at the Red Frog dock. It was a highlight of our stay!

This was an amazing resort. The spa was the ultimate rainforest treat. I enjoyed a fantastic massage while immersed in the sounds of the rainforest. We enjoyed zip lining with our 12 year old. It was one of the best zip lining courses we have experienced around the world. The food at the main restaurant La Rosa was mediocre. But the El Palmar resort restaurant next door offered great food.

Stayed in a villa with an ocean view. Everything worked except the jacuzzi. The television was great as well as the beds and bathrooms. Looks like new owners at Redfrog. Lots of gossip in the grocery store. I hope they are people of character. I enjoyed the experience.

Excellent service from friendly staff. The property is located in a beautiful tropical paradise. We will definitely visit this resort again.

I have mixed feeling about this place. I have to give low scores to cleanliness and services because the toilet was yellowish. This should be a big no!no! to any guests. It took us almost 14 hours to get instructions to use wifi and drinking water situation. The restaurant experience at La Rosa, however, was very pleasant. Food was delicious and never failed to impress us. Staff were very accommodating. View there was amazing!

Great se luded place with an amazing beach. Our pool light was not working and they offered to change our villa (which we were very confortable) and since we refused they borrowed the golf cart instead for the full stay. Friendly staff and beach club. A bit far from the main village if you plan to go there for dinners, but there are 4 restaurants accesible and a market
