Oasis Bluff Beach

My husband and I spent 7 nights at this beautiful hotel and loved every minute of it. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, Elias and his team went above and beyond to make a milestone birthday celebration one I will never forget. The new owner's brother Michael and his lovely girlfriend Alexandra stepped in to help run the resort while he was out, and they handled the task like seasoned professionals. The View restaurant offered a varied nightly dinner menu, and it did not disappoint. I highly recommend the Yellowfin tuna and mahi mahi, absolutely amazing. Specialty drinks were made perfectly, and they have the coldest cervesa in town! Our room was very comfortable and clean, and the balcony provided the perfect spot to watch the sunrise. Steps away from the beach, the sound of crashing waves lull you to sleep. Hummingbirds fluttered about all around the property, sloths hanging out in the trees and daily visits from howler monkeys were a treat! I would highly recommend this beautiful hotel if you're planning a trip to Bocas. We look forward to returning for another adventure in this piece if paradise!

This is the third time I've been to Oasis Bluff Beach in the last 5 years, and when we showed up, we were a bit surprised to find that the wonderful previous owners Simon and Wendy has sold the hotel to a new owner. But any worry we had quickly dissipated, as Paul, the new owner, kept up the same great service we had come to expect, along with some modern renovations to the hotel, including adding air conditioning to some rooms (not really needed at night, but it's helpful during the day). All of the touches remain the same, from the great English style breakfast (with some Panamanian options added as well), to the amazing and affordable View Restaurant, which is the only place you'll need to eat on the island. Paul and his manager Elias went the extra mile to meet all of our needs, including booking us a private boat tour and coordinating our taxi transportation to and from town. Paul really went the extra mile to ensure that the hotel had a TV set up for Super Bowl viewing, something that my wife and I really wanted to enjoy. He and his team were running around the resort, hanging wires and ensuring everything was working to get it up and running in time for kick off. There really aren't any negatives of Oasis Bluff Beach, just a few things to know before you go to make sure it's right for you. The first is that Bluff Beach is about 30 minutes from town. To get to and from town, you can take a pick up truck taxi. The road is rough though, so be prepared for a bumpy ride any time you want to go into Bocas Town. The second is that Oasis is a B&B for people who want a relaxing experience and to enjoy the quiet. By 10pm-11pm, everything is shut off at the hotel and everyone is in their rooms or asleep. If you are a late night party person, this probably isn't the right hotel for you. But for us, the quiet and seclusion is a big part of its charm.

Oasis is phenomenal. Great clean rooms. Amazing food. Friendliest staff. One of the most serene and relaxing family trips we’ve ever had. Highly recommend to anyone looking drop out for a few days in the jungle! Tip: rent a quad and trek to Blue Lagoon and La Piscina for some swimming like no other relaxation.
