 Tropic
Star Lodge is a veritable paradise on the side of a mountain
at the edge of the Darien Jungle,
on the Pacific coast of Panama. The Lodge is
situated 150 miles south of Panama City. It can only
be reached by boat or plane, since there are no
roads within a hundred miles. A charter plane lands
on an airstrip in Piņas Bay. You then take a ten
minute boat ride to Tropic Star Lodge.
 The original owner's
home is known as El Palacio, or the Palace. It is reached by
cable car, or there are 122
steps up the mountainside! The Palace has three bedrooms with
private baths, and can sleep six. It has a sunken living room
and outside terrace, both with a beautiful panoramic view of the
bay and surrounding mountains.
Our spacious cabins and rooms are air-conditioned, with a
beautiful view of Piņas Bay. Each room has twin beds and private
bath/dressing room areas. A king-size bed can be requested. The
cabins have surrounding porches with chairs.
The Lodge has a fresh water swimming pool and bar. A jungle
trail has been cut across to La Playa Blanca, where you may
enjoy swimming, sunning, and shelling on the beautiful white
sand beach. Kayaks are also
available to enjoy the bay and Piņas river on your own.
 Each afternoon when the boats return to the Lodge, "fish
stories" are swapped while guests relax in the fresh water
swimming pool, or drink pina coladas on the veranda overlooking the bay, or in the
air-conditioned bar.
Multi-course dinners, complete with wine, are served in the
scenic bay-view dining room each evening. The chef prepares
various specialties, such as Baked Alaska, Cherries Jubilee,
black bean soup; fresh baked pies and bread, ceviche, and many
more varied and delectable dishes. A fresh "catch of the day" is
offered, as well as our regular main course selection.
Tropic Star guests are catered to by 80 employees, whose
personal touch makes your stay a memorable one! Since the
Lodge can only accommodate a total of 36 guests at a time, early
reservations are a must, otherwise you might have to be
wait-listed for a possible cancellation.
 Tropic Star Lodge enjoys a very large repeat client business. It
is known the world over as an exclusive fishing lodge where
quality and a quantity of fish come together in Pinas Bay! You
will find no telephones, fax machines, or newspapers at this
fantastic "get away from it all" fishing retreat! We have a
television and (VHS) VCR in the bar, used solely for the purpose
of viewing fishing videos. Please bring any cords or adapters
needed for your video equipment.
Weekly bookings consist of a 31-foot Bertram with captain and
mate, six days of fishing (Sunday through Friday), seven nights
lodging, and three meals a day, plus all fishing tackle.
Arrangements for less than a week can be made after May 31, or
on short notice due to cancellations during the prime time
season of December through May.
