Spending Time At Red Frog Beach
Q: If the resort is located on an island, how will I get around?
It is easy to get around Bocas Del Toro region. They call this area the Venice of the Caribbean for a reason, it is very easy and inexpensive to get around by water-taxi. From the Bocas Airport it is only a two minute - $1.00 - taxi ride to the boat dock and a 10 minute boat ride to the Grand Red Frog Entrance. Once on the island, the sole means of transportation will be electric cart. Because of the pristine environment, cars are not allowed on the island.
Q: Will I feel isolated living on an island?
No! Remember you are only 10 minutes from the resort town of Bocas which has most everything you will need (population 10,000). We think you get the best of both worlds: the security and privacy of a beach front community at Red Frog, and quick access to nightlife and inexpensive amenities. This is not to mention the 68 islands and keys to explore in the surrounding region and the 11,000 foot mountains about thirty minutes away on the mainland.
Q: How far away is Bocas Del Toro from Panama City?
It is a 55-minute flight (about $130 round-trip). To drive from Panama City takes a full day (although the drive is beautiful).
Q: How far is Red Frog Resort from the mainland?
About a 30 minute boat ride. Interesting fact: we are only about 30 miles to the border of Costa Rica.
Q: The forecast for Bocas always looks rainy?
Since long-term weather forecasts for this area are so difficult to predict and due to the lack of weather detecting equipment in the area, most internet weather forecast sites just leave a forecast as rainy all year long. However, that is simply not true. Ask anyone who has been there. Generally when it rains, it can rain hard and then will clear up. Often times, the rain comes in the evenings after 9:00 p.m.
Q: When is the rainy season and when is the dry season?
Technically the Rainy season is May & June and again November & December. Our experience has been there is little difference between the rainy and dry season. Some of the sunniest times of the year there are in the "rainy season." Temperatures are year-round about 82 degrees. Many people compare the climate of Bocas to the Hawaiian island of Kauai (although the water is warmer in the Caribbean).
Q: What is the beach like?
The sand is fine and white, perfect in our opinion. The water is very warm and most of the year you can wade out into the water 30 yards. FYI: While the beaches are truly amazing, everyone underestimates the beauty of the Rainforest at Red Frog-the canopy of trees and wildlife will amaze you.
Q: Will there be lifeguards at the pool and beach?
Yes. There will be lifeguards at all the pools and beaches.
