Selina Red Frog

Imprescindible este hotel, es muy barato, las habitaciones son geniales y el servicio también

The teepee with jungle view was exceptional! Glamping at its finest!! The AC cranked! And the rain kept us cozy, fueled with wonderful food from the restaurant! Great staff! That double cappuccino changed my world! **SUPER IMPORTANT!!** ****Get there during the day!!!****

The staff was impeccable and so kind. It was such a beautiful space next to the rainforest and beach. I could’ve have been happier with my stay.

Nice helpful stuff. Perfect location in the jungle. We saw sloth, red frogs and Kapuziner monkeys near by. Beach is just 5min. walk through the nice jungle. Food is okay, little pricy. But don’t forget that it’s a remote island! Movieroom is very nice!

Loved the TeePee huts in the canopy. Pure relaxation and pristine quiet. Staff was topknotch and always involved with the guests. Worthy of a redo but we will fly into Bocas next time. Driving to Almirante was challenging and lengthy.

Me and my wife stayed here for a few days just after Xmas. Is it perfect? No, did I love every single minute? More than a review can say…. We had a private bungalow, it was exactly that, private. It looks like something straight off an Instagram post, but the reality is just as good. You get a good space, with air con and your own bathroom that overlooks the jungle! Amazing! The water pressure was good, and water was lovely and warm! During dry season you can only use the water at certain times… was this a problem? Hell no! It’s a remote island and you’re in a jungle, just having running water is a miracle! There’s LOADS of wildlife to see, from sloths, to hummingbirds, to monkeys.. it’s perfect for nature lovers! Tomer, is so knowledgeable about all the creatures, and does a night walk around the hotel and shows you al sorts of creatures! The hotel provides loads of tours at really good prices, the staff will recommend the best ones! The path to the beach is amazing, me and the wife must have walked it over 20 times day and night! Water taxis are plentiful and have great drivers. Food was good but they do run out of certain items fairly regularly but don’t let that spoil anything, go for a walk to the other bars etc! Loved it! So much!

Crazy that so few people in Isla Colon know about this place. Initially, I thought I'd visit Red Frog for a day or two-- and i ended up staying at the Selina there for 6 months! The volunteers working there were super helpful to accomodate guests and they organize activities EVERY day. Nature walks, coconut workshops, live music, game tournaments, etc.... and a lot of different tours to explore the islands around. Amazingly, you can see slothes, monkeys and big iguanas all around the island, and the beaches are absolutely fantastic. Surf is seasonal, but snorkeling is always a valid way to spend the day. Ideal destination for nature lovers, free-spirited travelers, or anyone working remotely who needs a break from the constant nagging of civilization. People who stay at Red Frog Selina are usually super friendly, interesting, fun, and often open to spirituality. It's a great place to reconnect with oneself or with the Earth, and to make new friends. Watch out for low/high and dry/rainy seasons - they will impact your stay depending on what you're looking for. Keep in mind the island is prety remote, it's wild! I fell in love with the place within the first two hours I stayed there.

We have stayed in Selina before, and we chose the Selina Red Frod because we thought it was going to be a nice experience but unfortunately it wasn’t the case, for the following reasons: 1) We paid for a bungalow with private shower and we ended up having to take a shower in the common area because there was no water pressure - unacceptable when we paid 100$ more for privacy. 2) Half of the menu wasn’t available due to lack of supplies, we had 3 limited options. Funny enough when we went to Isla Colon the supermarket was fully stacked. 3) The environment at night is almost dead all 4days we stayed, so one night we went to Isla Colon. In the reception they have a boat schedule where we bought tickets. This is not only expensive because you to go Isla Colon for 28$ (round trip) to have dinner but in the return the pickup boat was supposed to pickup at 11:30 and he ended up arriving at 12:45am. The walk from the boat deck to the hotel is really scary, not many lights. We don’t suggest staying in Selina Red Frog if you’re a couple looking for fun activities.

I love Selina Red Frog - very beautiful jungle location and great decor. Have stayed here at least 3 times when visiting Panama. Not right on the beach, but the A/C makes it worth it. The service at the restaurant was ridiculously terrible. I do not have words to describe how indifferent, slow and rude our waitress was. But don't let this stop you from staying here. Eat somewhere else.
