The Tiki Lodge is an amazing welcoming place ! It has just been opened in dec 2024 and everything is new. It has 5 individual lodges with a nice terrasse and a swimming pool area. Everything has been decorated with lots of taste by the owners. The matress is super confortable and the hot shower is just great ! There is a ceiling fan and a/c. And the two owners, Claudia and Yann are amazing host who are doing everything to feel you at home in this wonderful place !! They speak french and italian as well. It.s a very calme place, ideal for couples and individual travellers, perfect for divers with two excellent dive centres near the beach (Scuba Coiba and Coiba dive centre). Tiki has its own restaurant and bar and the food is delicious. All the staff is super nice and helpfull ! No noise in the evening as the lodges are in the back yard and everything gets quiet anyways at 10 pm. Grazie Claudia, merci beaucoup Yann pour votre chaleureux accueil ! I had a wonderful stay at Tiki !

Very relaxing. Close to town for activities and the beach. Very quiet setting to live and sleep well. Restaurant at site was excellent. Dinner food was expensive though delicious. Breakfast was excellent and more affordable.

Incredible location. Throwing back the curtains each morning, the surfers (often including Ricardo - the owner) were out in the waves off the point. What a view for breakfast! Bungalow was beautiful and well looked after. Ricardo and his wife could not have been nicer or more helpful- they made our stay truly memorable (including the fabulous margaritas!), and left us more knowledgeable about Panama and with many stories to tell.

We loved everything. The place is charming. This is a small hotel (perhaps 8 rooms) so it feels friendly and casual but everything is really nice and well appointed and clean - pool, hang out spaces, resauant. We ended up eating here two nights and the food delicious. Our room (featuring a private outside shower) was spacious and the beds comfy. The location was good for us. 10 min walk to the town, 15 min to the beach, and 5 min from restaurants.

Perfect place for people looking for an hotel to relax and escape the daily stress. It is located in a quite area right next to the sea, where you can emerce yourself in the lovely nature. Our room and the outdoor space was wonderful, everything is very new, modern and stylish. I loved the fresh fried fish (I had red snapper) and the freshly made passion fruit juice from their restaurant, they were both delicious. The owner and the employees are super friendly, they even drove us to Santa Catalina by car for our diving tour (which you should do if you like diving because Isla Coiba has beautiful underwater spots with sharks, we even saw dolphins and a whale). If you like riding you could also do horseback riding with their own horses at the beach!

Wauw! It was such a pleasure and special experience to stay at Cabanas Sherrley. The host is incredible kind and the staff is the same. We felt like home at this place and we were welcomed in a warm bath. Also the room is super clean and all the facilities are provided, you won't miss a thing. The location is perfect and next door there is an amazing bakery where you can get your fresh baked homemade bread for breakfast or lunch. We would definitely recommend staying at this place!!! 😍
