Hooked On Panama/ Hidden Oasis!

[TwoSailors]

This was our second visit to Hooked On Panama, a fishing lodge near Punta Burica. Another great experience! The beachfront property has a fantastic pool and lovely tropical landscaping. Full-service restaurant and bar. HOP entertains anglers from all over the world but welcomes even non-fishers for a chill beach get-away. Nice spacious cabin-style accommodations with A/C, Wi-Fi and your own private patio area to view the grounds and the surf. They specialize in seafood and tuna is always on the menu. Just ask, and the accommodating staff will fix you up with some ceviche and sushi rolls if they have fish in stock. It's off-season now until Dec. 1 so our fish was flashed frozen, but oh, so delicious. They cook a great breakfast, (killer breakfast taco) and the house special for lunch is tuna burgers made with Hawaiian poke-style seasonings. Full course dinner with appetizers, salad, entree, and dessert! For our stay, they also had chicken, burgers, and pork chops. Ricardo the bar manager can whip up some great drinks! The food and beverage prices are very reasonable and they do provide the jubilado discount on meals and lodging. Ask for the Boquete rate! This is a real sweet spot for a 2-3 night getaway. Best of all, it's DOG-FRIENDLY!!!  Dan, Mike, Gay, Connie, and Rex are the low-key and very welcoming owners!  Located here:

There is a great wildlife sanctuary and turtle rescue organization in Punta Burica.

Hi Judy,

Yes the owners of Hooked On Panama told us about that place. Being heavy rainy season they advised us not to go as the road is very difficult even with a high clearance 4 X 4. 

Will try on our next trip in Dry Season. Thanks for providing the link!
