Oceanfront Bluff Beach Retreat - Spectacular 65 Ft Swimming Pool

Outstanding staff looked after us

We had a great time with our group of 16 on and around the property. The staff is outstanding and set up all transportation and activities and were happy to share information about the local area. This was a really relaxing vacation. We could not have asked for more!

We rented the entire retreat for a family reunion for Xmas 2021. It is a beautiful property in an area of Isla Colon that is much less developed than I expected- pristine beach, beautiful jungle vegetation everywhere. We rented 4 golf carts to get to and from town which was a neat experience- golf carting on sandy roads- added to the mystique. We had family members ages 10 to 79 and everyone had a blast! The rooms were clean and really nice with open air feel- you could hear monkeys and birds. Saw lots of wildlife all over the property. You can hike up the coast from the property which is essentially a jungle walk. You can sometimes swim in the ocean if calm or just golf cart or bike to a nearby calmer beach. But just hanging out at the property/pool was really nice- wonderful atmosphere. The managers were very nice and available but not overbearing. The cook (we hired her as a chef for the week)- Nicole- was AMAZING. We have gone to Costa Rica 3 times as a family staying in villas but I preferred this experience because it felt more authentic and less touristy. Highly recommend!!

I just got back from a fantastic Panama Vacation! The 4 day stay at Bluff Beach Resort could not have been any more enjoyable! My girlfriend and I stayed 2 nights in the secluded Las Palmas Casita and 2 nights in the main beach house Las Olas master bedroom. If you prefer to be a little isolated away from the main house, then Las Palmas is the way to go. There is no AC in any of the rooms but you really don’t need it with the nice ocean breezes and fans. The sounds of the jungle mixed with the waves crashing on the shore were just surreal. The property is gorgeous and fits so naturally in the surroundings. I especially love the how the paths were lit during the night. It gave such a magical walk through the tropical vegetation. A beautiful, quiet beach is just steps away from the front of the property. On the way back from the beach, I showered outside and took a dip it their fantastic pool then sipped cool drinks with fresh limes from their farm under the thatched umbrellas. We also took an afternoon ride on the horses that were available. The horses were beautiful and well behaved. The guide was very considerate of my girlfriend who had never ridden a horse. We stopped for a refreshing dip at a beautiful secluded spot on the far side of the island. On the way back our guide even pointed out a monkey in a tree that we would have never seen! The inn keepers, Steve and Karen, really made a huge impression on me. I have stayed at other B&B in the past but Steve and Karen stand out as the best! I felt more like family than a guest. They went above and beyond hospitality by picking us up at the airport, taking us shopping, arranging local tours and taxis, and offering rides when going into town. They were always willing to share their abundant knowledge of the area with stories that entertain as well as inform. Steve even got up in the middle of the night to help a stranded Taxi driver that was stuck in the sand on the only road on our side of the island. I was also very impressed with how respectful they spoke and interacted with the local workers, who did not speak English. You can tell how everyone loved their jobs by how clean and well maintained the property is. Needless to say, they are just wonderful people that will make sure you enjoy this beautiful place.
