Just returned from a four-night stay at Cala Mia and don't have a single bad thing to say about it. I've read some of the negative comments here and it seems like those who wrote them should have skipped Cala Mia and gone to a boring, luxury resort somewhere else. Cala Mia feels like it's at the end of the... more

Cala Mia was nice enough but way too expensive! We stayed in places in Panama for half the price that were just as nice and provided better service. The snorkels were moldy, the food was extremely expensive for what you get and we found out that the other guests who were staying there at the same were paying half as... more

I couldn't find a bad thing to say about Cala Mia if I tried. We showed up there unexpectedly the day after a major rain storm. We didn't have a reservation and there were no guests there that night, so they were surprised when our boat showed up at the dock. Although a surprise, they were kind enough to make... more

We stayed here for 4 nights at the end of a fairly hectic holiday to relax in a secluded beach setting before returning home. We were on our honeymoon and the hotel staff greeted us with a complimentary bottle of champagne which we enjoyed on our terrace, and they had placed petals in a heart shape on hour bed -... more

This place is very nice. We came here on a detour on the way between Boquete and Santa Catalina/Coiba. Parked our rental car at the dock at Boca Chica and it was perfectly fine leaving it there. Setting is beautiful. Cabanas are great and comfortable. Service is excellent. We met two other couples and had dinner and drinks with them... more

This is truly a hidden gem set on a peninsula on a cliffhead--the views from each of the 8 cabins is spectacular. An infinity pool, a swinging bridge connecting to the massage rooms across a gorge, fabulous food and an incredible staff. Their Veranilla special is truly a bargain. At $299 for two nights for two people including 3 meals,... more

Cute little boutique hotel on the Pacific side of Panama. The hotel consists of individual little huts scattered either on the sea front or overlooking a little bay. We had a sea facing view which was nice and breezy with an idyllic view -especially waking up in the morning to the sound of the waves and birds. The huts themselves... more

I stayed here with my husband in December in one of the eleven bungalows, and I immediately started thinking about how to describe this place fairly to others. The rooms and setting are lovely, and the staff are very friendly and do their best. But at the end of the day, I don't think it's worth the $240/night. Maybe this... more

As we raised a toast tonight after recreating one of Cala Mia's chef, Juan Carlos's, yummy dishes, I decided that I must send in a review of this wonderful place. Cala Mia is definitely off the beaten path. We stayed there for 5 days during late February 2008 and we could have stayed there much longer. What a wonderful place!... more
