Family hotels and homes in Tierra Oscura

What's not to love at Eden Jungle? Magnificent views, excellent food prepared with much care, attention to detail - we went with teenagers and they set up a pool table, foosball table and more-, possibility to visit a Cacao farm, see how it's made and served in different dishes, kayak adventures and boat trips, and last but not least two great hosts that care for nature and the community where they now live. We truly enjoyed meeting Judith and Fabrice.

peaceful, surrounded by nature (you can even hear the monkeys), spacious and bright rooms with great finishes. the property is very big and very well maintained with beautiful trees and flowers. the owner is lovely and always happy to help. she cooks great meals herself in a very family/friendly environment. this is the perfect gate away if you want some tranquility after Bocas town or busier islands. super easy to also do usual tours such as sea stars beach, dolphin bay etc we did an excursion at an organic chocolate farm which was amazing and that I highly recommend. her staff/family is as nice and helpful as the owner. If you still do want to party in bocas this also possible as you are only a 20min boat ride from bocas town. i highly recommend this charming lovely place!

very nice hotel surounded by beautiful tropical gardens. excellent and very welcoming hosts who have great advice what to do in the sourrounding area. delicious breakfasts. we have stayed here for our stay in Panama twice and can recommend the garden view bungalow.

We visited Panama for the second time, and once again, we absolutely loved it. While looking for a beautiful place to stay, we came across this little hidden gem 💍– and what a find it was! Arrival & Welcome We were picked up by a private boat and warmly welcomed. The boat ride took around 45 minutes and was truly enjoyable. Along the way, we received interesting information about the surrounding islands – and even spotted dolphins! Upon arrival, we were greeted with a delicious welcome cocktail before our first meal. Such a lovely touch!☀️😍 Room The room was spacious and very comfortable. We’ve seen a lot of bathrooms throughout Panama, and many of them lack a proper shower. But here – the shower was fantastic! Great water pressure and lovely hot water – such a treat. :) Breakfast Breakfast was amazing. The host really listened to our preferences, and I was thrilled to have my fried egg every morning – along with fresh fruit and avocado. A perfect start to the day! Lunch Lunch was absolutely delicious – we had shrimp with coconut rice and plantains. A real taste of local cuisine that felt authentic and lovingly prepared. Dinner The highlight of our meals was definitely pizza night on our last evening! It was such a fun, communal experience with homemade pizza in creative and tasty varieties. So cool – and honestly, unforgettable. Surroundings The water around the property was crystal clear – it felt like swimming in a private aquarium. We saw a small shark, a stingray, colorful fish, and more – all right in front of our room. I’m usually a bit hesitant in the water, but here, I felt completely safe and at ease. The trees, the light, the tranquility – I can’t even describe how beautiful it was. Truly one of my personal highlights – such peace and connection with nature. Activities The hosts’ children were incredibly kind and welcoming.

I do like boat Hauses... you sleep here with the waves... the house itself is decorated by Claudine an artist from Montreal... ver, warm welcomed and had a fantastic stay

We loved everything about our stay. The island is beautiful and the hotel is clean and comfortable and charming and our family loved sleeping over the water. We saw dolphins, pelicans and pufferfish (and lots of other fish) right off the deck - amazing. Breakfasts were delicious and Mandy, JP and Ariel went the extra mile to ensure we had a perfect vacation including suggesting things to do and where to eat and organizing a boat for us. Our kids loved the very well behaved dogs and the extra touches like the snorkels, kayaks, paddle boards and board games!

Super nice staff. So helpful!!

I had an amazing stay at Tierra Verde! A 3 minute walk from Caranero town and the closest supermarket, it is peaceful, and still only a 1 minute boat ride away from Bocas town, from the hotels own boat deck right out the front! The surf breaks are a 10 minute walk away! The room was homey and clean; and had all amenities one could need, towels, great AC, hot water, a wardrobe, a smart TV and even a key lock box on the door so keys can be stored safely when heading for a surf or swim! There is a beautiful garden with sea view and pool right out the front and a fully equipped kitchen to use for guests! The breakfast included is fresh, filling and delicious! But most of all, the manager Edgar and his whole team are extremely lovely! I felt welcome and well taken care of from the minute I arrived:) Will definitely be staying here again when returning to Caranero!
