This was a Fantastic experience!! We stayed in the private cabana over the water. Jordania was great! He took care of us the whole time we were there. The food was out of this world. The Chef was Cheppie and he made fantastic menus for each meal. My wife and I highly recommend this resort for a romantic getaway.

Azul Paradise exceeded all expectations, thanks to its impeccable accommodations, outstanding service led by managers Jordano and Ricardo, and the unbeatable location. Our bungalow was spacious, immaculately clean, and the panoramic views from the full wall glass windows were simply breathtaking. Waking up to the ocean waves and sounds of the tropical rainforest made us feel totally at peace. While drinking your morning coffee, you will likely see several different species of fish through the glass floor. My wife and I found ourselves with the privacy we needed to reconnect. Often, we were the only ones on the beach, or the only ones on the walking trail enjoying the sounds of nature. We highly recommend this resort, and we look forward to returning in the future!

If you want a relaxing, quiet, rustic getaway then this is your place. The inside of the bungalows are clean and well kept but the exterior does not look so great, in fact some areas are unsafe and the property owners need to invest in securing some of the aging wood planks on walkways and decks. The beach on the property was full of seaweed and is not worth calling a beach. There is clearer bleach just next door that we had access to so this made up for the seaweed. The logistics for getting to and from the airport to the property should have been better outlined in the property description and be included in the price instead of being extra. Overall it was a good getaway and I enjoyed the peace and quite.

We stayed in Bungalow #6. The view and the bungalow itself were stunning! During our stay, we were blessed with great weather! beautiful sunrise and sunsets. We would lay in bed and just look out into the water, It couldn't have been more relaxing. The staff were kind and attentive, and the best part was that there weren't any locals wandering around asking you to buy their goods. I noticed that it only happened when we would go to the beaches. Our first night at our bungalow was an unforgettable one. Throughout the night we could keep hearing this squeeky noise that was so loud it prevented me from sleeping. The next morning, I woke up and found droppings by the front door. My suspicions were correct- a bat. I mentioned my concern to the guy in charge, he seemed concerned and told me he would find a resolution and to enjoy the day. His initial fix was to downgrade me to a smaller bungalow, I was not happy since I chose this destination based on many things but the selling point was the bungalow. I pushed back and he eventually asked an employee to clean out the room. When I was told my room had been cleaned out, I asked if he removed the bat to which the employee shook his head and then proceeded to tell me it wasn't just one bat, but SEVEN of them! I was mortified! I appreciated them taking care of that because I really wanted to stay in the bungalow I had booked and I know things like bats entering my room at night was out of their control but they managed to make me happy

Off the grid Overwater Bungalows
While my stay at Azul Paradise overwater bungalow was indeed a dream, it's important to note that the water clarity can vary depending on the time of year. When I visited in September, I did notice that the water was a bit murky, which was a slight disappointment. This may have been due to seasonal factors or weather conditions. Despite this, the overall experience was still exceptional. The resort's staff went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and enjoyment. Additionally, the murkier water didn't detract from the beauty of the bungalow itself or the stunning views from my private deck. It's worth considering the timing of your visit if crystal-clear water is a priority. However, even with the water conditions in September, Azul Paradise remains a remarkable destination, offering a unique and unforgettable overwater bungalow experience.

If you want to disconnect from the chaos of the world and slip into other most laid back, beautiful, remote, and peaceful of settings, this is your place! AMAZING STAFF, great location! If you are the type that needs constant connection to the outside world or wants a party scene, this really isn't the place for you! If you want mind blowing views and complete peace, then it is exactly where you want to be!

Checking into this property was a big hassle. When I got there I basically had to rebook the entire reservation, First red flag was my receipt that I signed said $1100 total but Expedia charged me $1410, when I asked Jordiano about this, the guy that works the front desk he could not tell me why I was being charged more and to call Expedia to figure that out. Then when I reached out to Expedia they tried to put it back on Azul resort. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!! The resort was ok but not worth the prices they are charging. If you’re going to spend this type of money I would go to the better over water bungalows like at sandals resorts. The food options are very limited and they so called take a tab for your meals and drinks which are hand written receipts and at check out they will try and overcharge you at the end of your stay, and the only way to get off the island where the overwater bungalows are is by boat. So if you have an issue with your tab for food/drinks they act as if they are not going to take you back to the main island where the airport is located to leave. So between being overcharged for my reservation and being overcharged for the only food options available, I would not recommend this place. I would recommend staying in Bocas town if your a single traveler because the boat only goes to the mainland from the bungalows at certain times and is very expensive like $30 each way. Oh yea and the boat ride to and from the bungalowsis not included in the reservation

What a gorgeous, off-the-beaten path, island that serves as a great spot for much needed R&R. Azul Paradise is a handful of private bungalows situated over the Caribbean Sea's warm waters, complete with a tiki bar and full service dining led by an amazing chef. The staff is truly one of kind -- and works to exceed expectations every step of the way. They will work with you to coordinate transfers between the airport, Bocas Town and the island for a small fee, making it easy to get back and forth. One note: We learned after the fact that while in Bocas Town, the transport company which did a great job, is a separate organization. You do not need to book island excursions through them. You can or you can book directly with the staff at Azul Paradise and let them show you around the islands. Communications before the trip were easy though not always perfectly clear. Wifi can be spotty, and the team shared in advance that the resort is eco friendly using solar power during the day, and a generator in the evenings. The generator powers the AC, which means it is only run during the evenings. It does get warm and very humid but with a dip in the sea or day out on a boat fixes that. The island isn't designed to have every amenity so if you need that, you may consider a different destination. This is a lovely location, great people, tasty food and some adorable island pups to make your stay. Bring plenty of sunscreen, bug spray and a few good books. It'll be perfect.

We personally felt that for the price and the fact that the accomodation is so far away, the transport on water to the accomodation should have been included in the price. $120 USD to get to and from the accomodation is crazy expensive and should be included in the price of staying because guests have no other option. Also we had to wait 3 hours to get onto the boat to get to the accomodation after travelling 40 hours to get to Bocas town. That left a really sore taste in our mouth

We absolutely loved our stay here. The staff was amazing and made sure we got the full experience that we wanted, including taking us out on a snorkel and private island tour. The accommodations are truly beautiful and the water is perfect to swim or relax all day. The only thing to note is there are no nearby restaurants so all of your meals will be at the hotel, but the food there was great so we had no issue with that.

Once we arrived we were told there’s no air conditioning until 630pm to 10pm. We were missing a toilet seat and a mirror from 1 bathroom. There was no water outside to clean yourself before coming in so sand was an issue. There were stains everywhere, walls, beds… no safe or dresser for that matter, 1 door would not close. There’s a kitchenette with no utensils no paper towels or napkins provided. One option for food. Power kept going out! No cushions for the 4 beach chairs. Couldn’t get clean beach towels, we had 3 for 5 people. No curtains if you want privacy. Furniture was definitely never sanitized. No local store or basic supplies available if you forgot sunblock or bug spray….. there’s more but I’m tired of typing

Beautiful location and very remote. Stayed in the deluxe bungalow that offered the most privacy and space. Water was clear and they provided kayaks, snorkeling gear and water boards for free. The bungalow was clean and spacious for 2. Food selection is small but they will try their best to accommodate and alter recipes. The food is also over priced but we enjoyed all of our meals and drinks. If you are going to eat all 3 meals I recommend purchasing the meal plan. Each lunch/dinner meal we had range from $15-$26 with dinner being the most expensive and breakfast being the least costly (under $10). The staff was friendly and recommend doing the village red frog trial tour for $8/pp. it’s a bit walking intensive but really nice to see the village and contribute to the cause.
