About this property

Oceanfront Bluff Beach Retreat - Spectacular 65 Ft Swimming Pool

Imagine less than two hours after leaving Panama City you are sitting in the hot sun, on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world - sipping a Mojito!

Airlines offer many flights a day to the island and we will be there to pick you up.

Slice of paradise

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 LOVED the house at Bluff Beach. Our group of 5 women surfed, snorkeled, walked the beach, and dined fantastically every night. We loved the comfort of the house and the quiet away from town. We were in total luxury! And then if we wanted to get into town it really wasn't a hassle to drive and of course we had some fun adventures biking in and out. Ron and Christine are fabulous hosts!

Everything I hoped for!

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.

Wonderful beachside retreat!

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!!

A memorable trip!

We chose the Bluff Beach Resort for a special, family vacation in celebration of my husband's and my 40th wedding anniversary. Our daughter, son, daughter-in-law and 18 month old grandson accompanied us. We absolutely loved our trip, and Bluff Beach. It was a fabulous get away, that left us filled with extraordinary memories. I had been looking for what, in the end, seemed like an impossibility... a house directly on the beach, but with a pool. Bluff Beach has it all. It is across a dirt road from a beautiful, deserted beach (where leatherback turtles were nesting while we were there!). And we took advantage of the gorgeous pool every evening... a great luxury! The property backs up to jungle, so monkeys greeted us every day in the trees surrounding... not to mention a million hummingbirds, parrots, lizards, etc. Accommodations were excellent, although power was occasionally an issue, as it's an "off the grid" resort. We stayed in the main building, and had free run of the very well equipped kitchen. The owner helped with all flight and driver connections, which made our arrival and departure so easy. He was away when we were there, but this was not a problem at all, as the caretakers (a couple from the US) could not have been more helpful with connections to people, charter boats (to the little islands, Dolphin Bay, etc... suggestions of places to cycle, restaurants, etc. A great bonus was that Laura (the wife) is an experienced, fabulous masseuse. We all took advantage, and it was great! On the way back, we had a layover in Panama City that allowed us just enough time to see the canal and go to the museum there. A must. Thanks for an amazing, memorable trip!!!! We'd love to return!!!!

Fantastic Beach Retreat!

We went to Bluff Beach Retreat in April 2010 (now getting around to writing the review) and I have to say it was a wonderful experience. From the flight into Bocas del Toro to the 4 wheel drive journey to BBR. It got better when we arrived at BBR. It's located on a beautiful tropical beach with no visible neighbors, the lodging is immaculate and Ron is the icing on the cake. He was extremely helpful planning our daily travels (snorkeling, cacao tour, sight seeing, etc.) and dinner at various B & B's at night. I had doubts about going to Panama but this place rocks. All question marks were erased! And, it was not too hot. There were nice ocean breezes at night and you can hear the pounding surf. If you are looking for a very nice place, great value, something off the beaten track, this is it. I HIGHLY recommend BBR.

Best place in Bocas

We spent 6 nights here in October. Weather was great, with temps in the 80s everyday. The beach is very close and many times we were the only ones on it. Water was warm. Every morning, a huge breakfast was laid out and preparations were made with the help from the owner for various activities including snorkeling, boat tour, town dining and jungle hikes. The accommodations were top notch, clean and modern, and they had WiFi which is tough to find on Bocas. We had an excellent stay and highly recommend this place to any party traveling to the Caribbean..

Whatever happened to truth in advertising: This place is better than they say!

The Retreat at Bluff Beach is....well,...I'm afraid to say how satisfying the experience was for fear that the world will descend upon the place. This would be good, of course, for Ron Dennis and his warm, competent staff, but selfishly, we'd like to keep the knowledge of this little gem all to ourselves. We were there for eight days, 7 nights and had our schedules permitted, we would have stayed longer. I worried that there would not be enough for Rod to do "way out" in the jungle (have you traveled with a hyper person before?), but he was content to read novels, take daily naps, walk/run on the beach with Cassius, hike through the jungle, amble down to La Coralinas for cocktails (and that view!); , explore Bocas in all its quirkiness; talk with the interesting guests, Steve and Karen (the temporary managers) and Ron, "retreat's owner and developer. Nonetheless, eight days was the right enough time for each of us to really rest and relax. The photos that you see on this site are NOT an accurate depiction: the place much is lovelier! Downsides: 1 ) Fruit back "home" (in GA) pales in comparison to the fruit that you are served each morning at breakfast 2) somehow the hum of the A/C at night doesn't have the same effect as falling asleep to the sound of waves crashing against the shore a few hundred yards away 3) the beach needs more people! You wouldn't want to think you were in a postcard or something! Seriously: the waters are rough and needs to be respected!!--not for children or inexperienced, poor swimmers. Upsides: Breakfast at Bluff beach; meeting interesting brave people who know that there are alternatives to living at full throttle--and are trying it (in Panama); William the dependable, gregarious cab driver; living off the grid and sustainable tourism; breakfasts at Bluff beach-oh, I said that already; napping in the hammock in the mangrove trees on edges of the ocean; touring Ron's finca (farm) with Steve, Karen and Omar the farm's manager learning about the rainforest (but do wear the boots that they offer!!); experiencing the (still) pristine waters of Dolphin Bay (with Louis tour guide who is very proud and knowledgeable about the area)--we actually saw dolphins and ate fresh oysters that Louis pulled from the roots Mangrove tree. He opened them, squeezed lime juice (from limes picked that morning) over the delicacys and served them to us on the oar! On second thought, I think that part was a dream. Crystal & Rod

Relaxing Quiet Getaway!

We had a wonderful time at the Bluff Beach retreat. The beach right in front of the property was pristine and beautiful! You could spend hours lazing on the hammocks! The daily freshly prepared breakfast is awesome. Ron, Steve, and Karen have genuine interest in sustainable tourism and this property is a live example - of course they are wonderful hosts and make you feel right at home.

This B&B on Bluff Beach in Bocas del Toro, Panama feels like a stage from the “Mosquito Coast” movie: miles of sandy, empty beaches pounded by powerful surf, mist of salty water suspended in the morning sun, the jungle coming within twenty feet of the water. To finish it off, a local Indian worker trotted by me on his pony, heading for his work in one of the hidden haciendas.It is a great place to enjoy a few quiet days dedicated to exploring the jungle (a great birding place), walking a wonderful beach and having some philosophic reflections on absurdity of city life.The accommodations are very comfortable in a newly built, sumptuous house and Ron, the owner-operator, is a friendly Canadian who will give you as much privacy or companionship as you desire. His big, goofy boxer, Cassius comes as a bonus. A trip to the resort is an adventure by itself; don’t try to drive there through the jungle yourself, let Ron pick you up.Thank you,Ron.Alex and Ania Modzelewski

ron and cassius clay, his boxer. are amazing hosts and exceeded all of our expectations. the property is stunning and the hospitality is world class. ron went above and beyond to make sure we had the best vacation possible. Every morning we woke up to a delicious homemade customized breakfast. Then you can either enjoy the miles of beautiful desolate golden sand beaches or hike through the jungle to the nearby tidepools. ron is always willing to suggest and set up many of the activities that bocas del toro has to offer. We often would eat dinner at the nearby restaurant 'la coralina'. the food and atmosphere were perfect for relaxing. we highly recommend staying here and having as great of an experience as we did.

Our family group of eight...

Our family group of eight, three adults and five children, had one of our best vacations ever staying at this beautiful property on Bluff Beach on Ile de Colon in the Bocas del Toros region of Panama. The house is beautiful and works very well in this environment where living outdoors and indoors are interchangeable - the expansive covered deck flows as part of the living space and the kitchen opens to the deck which accomodates a terrific dining space outdoors. Ron Dennis, the owner has put a lot of thought and effort effort into designing the property and the finishing details. The beach is beautiful and very private and although the waves prevented us from swimming per se we enjoyed long walks on the beach, boogey boarding and playing in the water. Ron went beyond our expectations in making sure our stay was an enjoyable one and facilitated our getting around and setting up day trips surfing, touring to see some of the local unique sights and circumnavigating the island by boat. We are hoping to be Ron's first repeat customers!

Super week long vacation ...

Super week long vacation for the two of us. Ron Dennis is a fabulous host, went way beyond expectations. Virtually empty beach for miles, right on the edge of the jungle. Parrots and other birds everywhere. Sloths in the trees, and monkeys howling during the night. Breakfasts were fabulous every morning we were there, days were hot and nights were cool with not a bug bite for me, but a few sand flea bites on Judy. We slept with doors and windows open, no screens needed. Highest quality furnishings and equipment including top grade high-speed internet, with big fridges for the Panama beer. Townies are very very friendly, very safe even at night downtown. Never once felt uncomfortable for our safety. The little bars are jumping, eclectic and full of locals and tourists just plain enjoying being there. The road to town is a real eye-opener - it is a jungle/beach trail which is essentially made up of a series of small ponds linked together. You will immediately understand why 4 wheel drive dominates in Bocas. Only one thing to do - take your time, and enjoy the way it is. We'll go back. Have a good time. Fraser and Judy Smith, Sidney, BC.
