"I have been traveling to Cosmic Crab for 9 years. It is one of my favorite places. The resort has a rustic Caribbean vibe with one of the best sunset views in Bocas. The pool is lovely. The restaurant has delicious food. I recommend the fresh fish dishes, burgers, and pizza. The bloody Mary's and margaritas are fabulous. The staff is friendly and helpful. Sometimes they host special events like a mosaic art workshop. They are now a Filthy Friday stop, also. You are just a quick boat ride from...

Red Frog Beach Island Resort

Red Frog Beach Island Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the resort, Esthefany and the entire staff were very accommodating and made certain that all of our needs were met. The resort offers a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere and the views were picturesque. We enjoyed a private boat tour of the island which included snorkeling, dolphin watching, and relaxation at the beach and we also participated in the zip line experience. Orbitz did not provide an option to add on the transfer from the airport to the boat tender (less than 5 mins away) but there was a gentleman from the resort that shuttled our group to the tender upon arrival. Great experience!!!"
