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.

Just perfect!
Posted 21 Feb 2024 on HotelsBrian 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!

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!

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.

Hard to leave and will be back!
Posted 28 Feb 2022 on HotelsWhat 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.

If you are looking for a Zen experience, then Dolphin Bay is your place. The amazing wildlife, fantastic tours, gourmet food, are all part of the dolphin bay experience. Very clean and comfortable.

Just a gem of a place and people! A little hidden corner of paradise. Didn’t know what to expect when we decided to end our panama trip on isla Cristóbal for a 3 night stay at dolphin bay.
We like all types of travel; we did the rooftop bars in Panama City, the hikes and coffee tour in boquete, the beach and exploring time in Isla Colón and party time in Bocas Town, but this ending was the cherry on top and a real raw and amazing way to experience just a beautiful place in panama!
I’ve never experienced something so personal... the food was amazing (tuna steak, shrimp pineapple rice, curry chicken!) ,
the service was amazing (Brian and Amy are the best, always planning and making sure everything is good, took us to great snorkle spots, gave us an educational tour in the jungle,..)
The place was a perfect mix of comfortable and beautiful, still feeling jungly and submerged into the panama jungle and ocean surroundings.
And just the bay, watching the dolphins morning afternoon, evening... it’s magical ! For me who is in love with dolphins, I can’t believe a place like this exists and everyone in the world who travels is not making a stop here !!!
This is a perfect place to relax, rejuvinate and explore a hidden paradise within panama! Highly recommended!
