Nice, basic room with delicious breakfast. AC and WiFi worked well. I didn't have hot water, but it was so humid I didn't need/ want it. Lovely hammocks in the shared spaces (though a bit mildewy). There's no drinkable water available except for water bottles ($2/bottle). Very nice people working at the lodge! They're starting to build hike guides for guests, which is a nice touch, but could use more images/ instructions. I ended up getting severely lost on 1 hike (3 crosses), so just be careful if you're not an experienced hiker. I'm a birdwatcher and came specifically for the birds (pelican migration time of year), and the birding was just okay. There are no bird watching guides available on the island for guided tours. Looking back, spending the extra time in Soberania or Metropolitan park would've been better from a birding perspective. I did a boat tour around the island and stopped at one place to snorkel and it was pretty good (maybe a 6/10). The island itself unfortunately has a major issue with plastic and garbage all over (water, sand, streets), so you really have to leave the town via boat or hike to get nice nature exposure.

There are not enough stars for how highly we’d like to rate this place. Staying here was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made as a family. From the first phone call, Cynthia put me at ease regarding check in concerns and questions about the island. Because we had a baby with us she helped us arrange transportation to cerrito tropical. She also got us a pack and play and let us check in early so our daughter could nap which was the whole reason we were able to make it to toboga. Cynthia helped us arrange the most epic boat ride around the island where we got to follow dolphins through the ocean!!! It was so cool!!!!! She arranged massages for us at the eco lodge and told us about cool local beaches as well. When we ordered food, Cynthia made sure everything was cooked to perfection and she spent time getting to know our family, and connecting with our baby. Also the breakfast here with the pineapple jelly was literally the best thing I ate the whole time we were in Panama. Overall, at every turn, Cynthia went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. Their restaurant Calaloo Beach fishbar & grill was also delicious!!!!! We had one of our favorite dinners ever as a family there and got the lobster and shrimp!! So good!!!!! Seriously. They treated us like royalty and made us feel so at home. If you’re looking for somewhere to stay, look no further and just come here. Such a great place!

A good and peaceful place to enjoy this beautiful island. Not just for the location and value but for their expert guidance and hospitality.

Recommended!!! Thanks for my 3 nights stay! ♥️ Amazing people and place on Taboga Island. Vicky and Hiddo made my stay to a great memory for me in Panama. Lovely view, food, pina colada, other guests and a great vibe. Hope to see You all soon! Thanks again! Tom

We had an awesome time here! The owners and staff are super nice and friendly. They take care of you to the fullest and couldn’t be more nice. I highly recommend. And don’t forget to try the pizza, it’s homemade and was absolutely amazing!

We had a wonderful time here! The scenery was breathtaking, the staff were so helpful and kind. It was such a relaxing experience, I would definitely stay here again!

My partner and I stayed here for a few nights while visiting Taboga island. The proprietors, Hiddo and Cynthia are lovely! Very accommodating, excellent knowledge of the island, and they run a delicious restaurant down by the beach as well that we went to dinner at every night. If we needed anything beyond the basics, they were always willing to work something out with enough heads up. This is not a luxury resort experience, but it is a lovely and affordable place to take in Taboga. The rooms were totally fine, A/C was perfectly cold, shower was fine but no great shakes, but if you're staying at an eco lodge and expecting more, that's on you - this delivers as a fantastic eco lodge! Breakfasts were SO tasty! The pool is teeny tiny and very chilly, which was perfect for the hot days. The hammocks are wonderful places to relax or nap. Great place, great people, highly recommended!

Wonderful B&B. We stayed two nights and really enjoyed it. Comfortable and clean. The breakfast was very nice. Would definitely come back ❤️ the owners and staff are all very nice and welcoming

I absolutely loved my stay at Cerrito Eco Lodge. So peaceful and quiet. So clean and comfortable. Staff so friendly and helpful. Owners Cynthia and Hiddo always on property and constantly checking in with me. I felt like I had been there forever and then had to leave too soon! I am happy to give 5 stars and highly recommend. Thanks so much.

I totally recommend this place! Great price, location, peaceful and polite. I will be back for sure.

We stayed here when we decided at the last minute to spend a night at Toboga while visiting Panama City. We chose it because it had a two room suite available that suited our family. The two room sweet was on the top floor and had an excellent view of the ocean. Cynthia, the owner, was very kind and accommodating, doing everything she could to make our short stay wonderful. We look forward to visiting again when we have more time to partake of the many tours and activities they offer.

We loved this hotel! It was the last stop of our 10 day visit to Panama. Our hosts, Cynthia and Hiddo were very helpful. We upgraded to the suite and had a wonderful view of the bay. The plunge pool was very refreshing. We had Cynthia's awesome pizza one night, delish! Cold drinks were offered to us as soon as we checked in. Hiddo prepared a lovely breakfast for us on our last day. I highly recommend the Cerrito Tropical Eco Lodge.

This was our first time to the island and we were traveling with my mobility limited mother. The hotel was very accommodating and helped us get our snorkel tour, beach spot and walking tour set up. They helped us call cabs when we needed it and overall it was hands down our best days to date in Panamá. The views from the hotel are beautiful day and night. We are all looking forward to visiting again.

Very nice people. Cozy hotel. If you stay here, you must order Miss Cynthia’s homemade pizza. It is to die for!!

Great location for staying when visiting Taboga, away from noisy bars closer to the pier, with great views of the sea and next to the island rainforest. You can eat at the lodge or next to the beach at Calaloo Dog friendly!🐕

the place was a dream-- had stayed here back in 2011 and came back in 2022 and it was just as lovely if not more! The room was great, the breakfast amazing and the facilities have everything one could want. Amazing view and a bit of a hike to get there but so worth it. Would definetly recommend and come back!

Beautiful and restful place, bird song and flowers around in the gardens, great breakfast, helpful and friendly staff. The owners Hiddo and Cynthia, and Paola, made us feel at home. Don’t forget to order Cynthia’s homemade pizzas- absolutely delicious! Lovely dipping pool and terrace to relax after a hot day on the beach! Only 10 minutes walk to local beaches and restaurants. We look forward to returning again one day! Highly recommended!

Excellent customer service! 6 stars!!
