Independent Isla Colon hotels

"3.5 star Beautiful property. The grounds were well maintained. Room was nice. We had some minor maintenance issues like a leaky toilet but only a minor inconvenience. Food was pretty decent we had lunch while we waited to check into our room. The beach club is about 10 minutes away was nice with pretty good food and a great beach. Cons: No beach near property really. Minor con because the beach club was really fun. The biggest problem is the fact that they nickel and dime you. An example is that the property has a driver and vehicle. We went to dinner 10 mins away and they charge you 20 dollars plus tip each way for a mile each way. That should be complimentary for guests less the tip. But ok, if you’re going to charge at least be in line with what a cab would be which is 1/2 that. And the spa….i mean this was a little eye opening. 200 for a 1/hr basic massage. That’s double what we paid in Panama City at a luxury hotel. And look, I’m a capitalist charge what you want but at least disclose the prices. No pricing on the menu and nothing stated up front for a very expensive service for what it was. It’s cheaper at the Four Seasons in most markets. Overall, place is nice. I think they need to clean some things up because we left feeling taken advantage of. But I also want to be supportive of what the area is trying to become as it has a lot of potential. We won’t stay there again but I wouldn’t deter someone from staying there."

"Great hotel for the area. We had the balcony and was really cool. Loved sitting out there and watching the boats. Can get a little loud"

"We can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was at Oasis Bluff Beach! The staff made us feel at home and attended to our every need. Our room opened to the front deck overlooking the beach and ocean. What a view for our early morning coffee as well as for our evening cocktails...truly peaceful. We went on nature hikes both on our own and with a biologist and saw monkeys, sloths, dart frogs, birds and lizards. The restaurant on site is fantastic! We ate so much fresh ceviche! All of the food is delicious and the drinks are very yummy! They even brew their own tonic for wonderful gin and tonics. We will definitely be back."

"Our stay at Lula's was nothing short of wonderful! The hosts were extremely friendly and incredibly helpful. The property is located perfectly on the edge of town...close enough to walk to town and far enough away to feel quiet and relaxing. The patio upstairs was a great place to unwind in the cool ocean breeze. We also loved having access to a guest kitchen complete with our own labeled drawer in the fridge."

"This was our first time living in a cottage on stilts over the crystal Caribbean and it was amazing. Beautiful sunsets off the dock down Saigon Bay each night. We brought our car but also used plentiful taxis and water taxis. The hosts are wonderful, friendly, professional but also personal. We will 100% stay here again. "
