Loved it, only downside was the restaurant menu did not have a huge selection and often out of things… we went in off season though.

It has potential. Do not stay here until major improvements are made with customer service and infrastructure. Also don’
The beach club and beach was nice.
The staff other than the bellman (Dixon) were not very friendly! The little store always acted as if I was inconveniencing them by asking if they had bug spray or itch cream. They close early too. The food options on the island are ridiculously limited.  one night because of a rain storm. We missed dinner at the beach club by a few minutes and ate rice, cakes and peanut butter for dinner on our honeymoon. If we weren’t an adventurous couple already, I would say for most people, staying at the red frog would’ve ruined their honeymoon.  the marketing is very deceptive. Everything cost extra! If you don’t rent a golf cart, you will spend your entire trip walking through the heat around a hilly property. The golf cart that they force you to rent for $75 per day is rusty, old slow and a slap in the face.  we are originally booked a jungle bungalow for four nights because we wanted the experience of staying in a bungalow, but with the amenities that were described in the listing, such as full kitchen, air conditioning, patio pool, etc.  what we arrived to find, was a hot bug infested, dirty cabin in the middle of nowhere.  the room we booked was not the room we got as there were two extra laughs as if an entire family were staying there. I didn’t complain because I figured they gave us a bigger one than we asked for however, the little air conditioning units don’t come close to cooling the cabin.  if we wanted to feel cool, we had to get in the shower and then jump out and stand under the AC unit that is mounted in the corner of the little kitchen.  our first night in the jungle bungalow, was spent swatting mosquitoes and itching our bug bites. (For which there is no itch cream at the store to help with.) after being up all night wondering how I ended up in Panama in a hellish jungle cabin ruining our honeymoon. First thing in the morning I used the WhatsApp to ask front desk if there was snorkel equipment available for use/rent. She said no.

Very good
We spent 6 lovely nights at Red Frog Beach Resort and thoroughly enjoyed it! We were lucky enough to be upgraded from a lodge to a villa, because of construction work, thank you so much for that. It was very spacious and had an amazing view. Bastimentos is a gorgeous island with beautiful nature and beaches. We saw monkeys, sloths, iguanas, the tiny red frogs and lots of birds (including parrots!). The jungle is incredible, huge trees and various plants. The staff was very friendly and their included transport with golf cart worked very well. It’s a very big resort, so it’s great to have that option. They have a little shop at the reception, which we found very useful. The massage at their spa was also very good. Our freezer was stacked with ice which is a great detail in my opinion. The kitchen was also equipped with dish soap etc, and also laundry detergent for the washing machine. If you want to enjoy Bocas Town nightlife daily it might not be ideal for you, as boat rides at night get expensive. We were there for nature and quietness and usually had dinner at the beautiful villa. For lunch we had nice food at the beach at Palmar and Nachyo Momma or during a trip.
The biggest minus is definitely the beach club. A big reason for us staying there was the fact that they have their own beach club with sun beds and umbrellas, however the sun beds were in such bad shape I would be ashamed of it if I was the owner or manager. The sand is more comfortable than those work through beds. It’s so cheap to replace them and get some comfortable new ones. Also the menu lacks vegetarian options, which is why we never ate there. We had iced coffee once, however it was really not good. And for the original price of the villa some things could be improved a little bit. The pots and pans were very old, only one cutting board, no proper curtains in the bed rooms. Also water dispensers would be a good idea. The tanks wouldn’t have to be for free, but it would save on plastic bottles and no need to carry heavy water bottles. But these are no deal breakers.

Staff went above and beyond, have already recommended and will return.
Villa was spacious with fabulous amenities and marvelous view. What one would expect from a resort. Great to relax after the beach on the deck listening and watching the birds sing.
Beds were a little hard for my taste.

A memorable tropical experience
The Red Frog Beach Resort exceeded our expectations. The resort is a beautiful tropical paradise. Our beach front room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. The pool was so inviting and the view was amazing. The restaurant was great and the food very tasty. But what made this Resort rate 10 or above was the friendly staff that went above their normal duties to make our stay a very memorable experience. We highly recommend The Red Frog Beach Resort.
Loved everything

Beautiful stay would have preferred a more modern unit.
The wildlife, the views, the tropical setting, the beaches.
The distances from the unit to the facilities. Unit pool was freezing and always in the shade.

Poor experience
Location, swimming pool and beach access is great
Check-in experience is poor. They are understaffed at the reception for cost-cutting purposes. If you end up with others at the same time for checking in then you are doomed. We arrived 40 minutes before check in time. They too another 20 mins to process us. Paid, did docs and then told us to wait but were not clear that the room was not ready. Wasted our time before telling us that. The room was not ready until later in the evening. At check out they did not even offer us a late check out to compensate. The restaurant staff is really nice but really understaffed. The quality of the rooms and services are way overpriced for what they have to offer.
