Summary: Brian and his staff provide an amazing vacation experience! This eco-lodge is very small (5 rooms) which allows them to provide very personalized service. You do not need to plan your activities in advance, Brian will ask you over breakfast "what do you feel like doing today?' and whether you want to snorkel, or go to a nearby beach, take a nature walk in jungle or take a kayak out in bay, the staff will help coordinate everything for you. you can also just hang out on the huge porch and relax and read or play games with a lovely view of the bay. The food is amazing with great variety and lots of fresh produce from the area. Several pods of dolphins regularly visit the bay and are fun to view from a kayak or boat. And you can see sloths, monkeys, tree, frogs, rays, and many birds everyday. If you like off the beaten path vacations in a beautiful nature setting then this is your lodge. We highly recommend DBH!

Summary: a special eco-lodge on a beautiful island. Beginning with the boat pickup in Bocas, a picturesque ride across to the lodge it was beautiful!! the owner was an amazing tour guide as he described the property. His knowledge of the fauna and other things we came across (insects, bugs, sloth, etc) teaching us about the area was very interesting. the food, all prepared on site, was delicious! anything we needed was provided. the room was spacious and clean. It is quite warm here and humid so you need to be ok without AC.

Summary: Dolphin Bay Hideaway is an experience in natural Panamanian beauty. The tour will immerse you in the flora and fauna this island has to offer. Meals are much like dining at that friends house that is the ultimate host. Kayak with the dolphins, then take an adventure to one or more of the neighbouring islands in this beautiful archipelago. The eco resort experience is about natural simplicity, not hotel luxury. Adventurous types will love it.

Summary: Brian and Amy truly made us feel as if we were family returning for a visit, rather than first-time guests. They did everything possible to make sure our stay was what we hoped it would be. Highly recommend doing a nature walk with Brian. The meals were excellent and we had a great time with the other guests around the table. A very relaxing stay!

Summary: Amy and Brian are great hosts! Beautifully nestled in a jungle setting on a calm bay. Brian gave us a personal tour of the property and showed us the good work he is doing to maintain and rehab the jungle’s flora and fauna! Had a great snorkel experience. Very peaceful and relaxing! Food was great! Highly recommend!

Summary: Definitely the high point of our trip to Panama. Brian and Amy are the best and their hospitality knows no bounds. They made us feel welcome immediately, as did all the other guests. The grounds are beautiful and our room was incredibly comfortable. We loved eating with the other guests and the food was just incredible. We'd love to go back to Panama and if we do we will definitely be returning to Dolphin Bay.

Summary: What a little treasure! We absolutely loved our hosts Amy and Brian and the beautiful eco resort they have created in remote Dolphin Bay. Our room was very comfortable. The food was great- no choice and family-style but consistently yummy. We were lucky and had a wonderful group we shared meals and snorkelling adventures and kayaking with. Brian took us to secret spots snorkelling and on nature hikes - we had dolphins come up to say hi, sloths, rare frogs, fish, coral, turtles. It was very hard to say goodbye.
