My wife and I loved everything about Eclypse De Mar! I had such a great time that, when I got home, I created a video I hope they'll use on their Web site. You can watch it here: http://blip.tv/file/1148847 We stayed for 8 nights during our honeymoon (we also spent 6 nights in Panama City) and we enjoyed every moment.... more

This place is advertised as an exclusive eco-lodge. For the $150 price tag, we were expecting a bit more. Granted, this place would have been fine for around $100 or less. We booked Eclypse del Mar after viewing the property on its website. It looked amazing. However, things were a little different when we arrived. We booked 2 bungalows for... more

Eclypse de mar is a perfect place with very nice people such as Malena and Chango, the owners.They worked very hard to make our stay pleasant and fun.The service is 10 points! Loved the bungalows with their large, comfortable beds, modern baths, and relaxing in our hammock. With regard to food, our dinners at the restaurant was really good and... more

While often on vacation you want to stay longer, but this place really defines a special spot. The resort on Bastimentos is about 20 minute boat ride from Bocas Town on Isla Colon. The over-the-water bungalows with private patios and see-thru "windows" were awesome with great beds and a lot of stylish design touches inside; the owners / staff (Malena,... more

We just returned from 3 nights at Eclypse de Mar and wish we had stayed longer. Malena, Chango, and Elaina worked to make our stay pleasant and fun. Loved the bungalows with their large, comfortable beds, modern baths, and relaxing in our hammock. The only downsides were the morning breakfast which includes hard bread/jams and coffee or tea (anything else... more

I heard about Eclypse de Mar from Trip Adviser. Malena, the owner, was very nice as I called to reserve the room. She uses a cell phone and seldom leaves the property. Malena will do her very best to make your stay memorable on the positive side. She and her staff are great and very personable. They will make the... more

We fell in love with the hotel as soon as we spotted it from the boat. Stylish interior designed wooden chalets built over the water with spacious verandahs and hammock. This is the ideal place to relax! We had a bedroom with four-poster bed, separate lounge and bathroom, all beautifully designed with home comforts. Malena from Argentina runs the hotel... more

Traveled to Bocas Del Toro from Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica. After a 1 1/2 bus ride, customs & immigration, 1/2 hour cab ride, a 45 min. boat ride, and another 10 minute water taxi to reach this resort, we could not have been more happy with the beautiful accomodations. As other reviews state, everything was fresh, fairly private, and welcoming.... more

WE LOVED THIS PLACE ! It's a close, convenient, lovely little spot with great hospitality! My husband and I and another couple stayed there for 4 days, and didn't want to leave ! The owners (Malena and Chengo) are a lovely young couple from Argentina that live on premise upstairs in the main part of the hotel/restaurant. The place is... more
