Food and Meals
Group meals:
We do offer group meals on an 'almost' daily basis. The evening meal is announced
each day, as applicable. We put it on a white board in the Lodge every morning.
Typical dinners include spaghetti with meatballs, lasagna, barbecue 'something' - ribs,
burgers, chicken, pork, catch of the day, coconut/curry chicken (mild), panamanian
chicken dish (it's good). We've been told by patrons who've stayed at some of our
competing hotels that our food and atmosphere was the best in their experience in
Bocas.... We have also built kitchenettes in all the houses and apartments and
provided cooking utensils to allow you to cook at your own pace, or your own diet.
Breakfast is served between 7 to 10am - Pancakes, eggs any style, fruit, toast, coffee
- $7 pp.
Lunch is served between 12 to 3pm - Deli stuff, leftovers (1/2 price), grilled cheese,
soup of the day. The usual lunch stuff with chips, drink. - $7pp or less, really depends
on what you get.
Dinner is served at 6:30 pm, right at sunset. Price for dinner varies between $9 to $12,
depending on what is served - includes a salad, drink and dessert.
All meals you can prepay with your reservation, or prepay for a few meals only.
Our group meal options are now available as a prepaid service. Typical clients
request 'breakfast everyday, lunches half the time, dinner 75% of the time'.
This allows us to maintain a just in time stock/inventory. Please call our USA
numbers, if questions.
Shop when you get here:
If you prefer, upon your arrival, a taxi driver can bring you by a couple of preferred
shopping spots. There you can buy things for your stay. Please pick up some ice, as
we go through it quickly at the Lodge. You will have shared bank of cold storage space
available with your lodging. Each of the houses have their own refrigerators. The
apartments share two refrigerators.
Kitchens and Barbecues:
All the rooms have kitchens and cooking utensils. We also have gas barbecues
available in the ground floor patio for chicken, burgers, 'catch of the day', etc.
Restaurants:
There is a great outdoor seafood restaurant called 'Yarisnori' about 3 miles from the
Lodge. It's down at the end of the Drago beach. It has great food and great sunsets,
plus the beer is very cold....We recommend you try the restaurant once or twice in a
one week stay. They normally have lobster, shrimp and red snapper, plus the catch of
the day. There are also non seafood options.
Many people enjoy walking down, driving or bike riding to the restaurant and go right
around the corner to 'starfish beach'. The beach looks very "Gilligan's island". There
are starfish in the shallow water and the water is normally beautiful and clear. On your
way back, stop at the restaurant for dinner and catch a cab back to the Lodge. They
also have single and double kayaks you can rent by the hour. (One of our guests, last
year, was paddling with dolphins.)
Dinner in town:
There are a handful of restaurants that are worth the drive to town, namely 'Lemon
Grass', 'El Pecado', 'Ultimo Refugio' and 'Buena Vista'. These are our
favorites.....There are other local choices but the meals can be hit or miss and not
necessarily 'trip worthy'. It is worth dinner in town once or twice in a week stay, but try
and combine it with a 'boat tour' day and have dinner in town before you return to the
Lodge that evening. A taxi to town is $25 each way for up to 4 persons, more if you pile
in the back of the pickup also.....Often groups plan a town night together and
coordinate the logistics with one of our drivers or rent one of our vehicles.
Group meals:
We will continue to offer group meals a few times per week thru 15-Apr-10.
A typical meal could be 1) Italian (Pasta, salad, garlic bread), 2) Soy sauce and garlic
BBQ chicken, salad, bread, 3) Panamanian chicken, rice and lentils, 4) Coconut/curry
chicken, rice, salad, etc.....
