- Peggy Dunagan 3/04/2024My husband and I had the most incredible stay at Cala Mia Resort. The staff was amazing, anticipating every thing we could possible need or want. The rooms, events, meals and atmosphere was beyond our expectations. All the events that was lined up for us was extraordinary. We definitely will be going back next year.read moreread less
- Gianni S 2/07/2024My partner and I had an incredible experience at Selva Terra Resort. The entire team provided amazing service throughout our stay. The cuisine was exquisite, and it's clear they put in hard work to achieve excellent results. We particularly enjoyed the addition of pumpkin cake to the menu—it was a delightful surprise per request in the moment! The amenities were pure luxury, with a private beach, swimming pool, and personalized excursions. Samantha and David were exceptionally helpful, and we wish them both all the success in their future endeavors. Highly recommend! BUT I'm secretly hoping they'll add a chocolate fountain next time!"read moreread less
- Julie Kunz 1/05/2024This was our second family vacation to Cala Mia now rebranding as Selva Terra.We all can’t say enough amazing things about all the staff and the resort. As I told them, they are such “ yes” people, making all our requests possible.We fished three full days and caught five or six different types of fish. Enough to feed the resort, lol.We went horseback riding, two great hikes where we saw howler monkeys, exotic fauna, and beautiful butterflies. We loved the snorkeling and all the variety of fish and coral and even an moray eel.All 5 of us got the best massage by Gladys with the ocean breeze blowing in the open air spa area.The food is phenomenal from breakfast to dessert and everything in between. Incredible fresh fish options, fresh fruit and smoothies and of course the best drinks!We can’t wait to come back!read moreread less
- Michael McCutcheon 11/20/2023This review is long overdue! My sister and I stayed here and loved it. The property itself is epic. Perched looking out on the see, the restaurant bar is top notch, there's chill yoga space, an oversized chess court, and more, all tucked within the trees in a beautiful way. The staff is also super kind and helpful and whomever is working in the kitchen deserves a Michelin. We went diving for several days too which was amazing. Among other things we saw a humpback whale breaching the surface. Once in a lifetime. Also...shout out to the tall gentleman from Texas that we met onsite. He's awesome and has some amazing stories. Still remember him. 10/10 would recommend.read moreread less
- Tom P 5/01/2023A+ experience from start to end. We were pampered from the moment we stepped off the plane in Panama City. Get the VIP package, it is truly worth it! |Logistics: what can I say, everything ran perfectly to the second. From going through customs like a diplomat, being whisked to the your urban hotel and tour next day, travel to and from Cala Mia, every step they were waiting on us with smiling faces. ||Fishing: Most epic day of fishing I’ve had, not in shear numbers, but the hunt and type of fish. One day, we brought in a sailfish, followed by a Marlin that took 40 min to come to boat side, then a couple of jack fish while inshore fishing. You know the scenery with deep water ( although there was an island to break up the landscape!), but inshore fishing in the Seca Islands is not to be missed, just for the scenery, even if you aren’t catching any fish. Fortunately, we were able to land two beautiful jacks. Captain and Mate know what they are doing and will work TIRELESSLY to get you on a fish. When we caught our first fish, I thought they were more excited than we were. I think you can take some fish back home, our fish were all catch and release. ||Accom: Clean, comfortable, air conditioned, large for two, beautiful water facing patio. Not Four Seasons type luxury, but luxurious enough!||Food: simply Amazing. Every meal we had was well presented and absolutely delicious. You order lunch for the next day for your fishing trip, and it is very well throughout and delicious. Not just a sandwich and chips. For dinner you get a three course meal every night, with two choices for each course. We got one of each to try everything, and I am not BSing when I say everything we had was SUPERB. Plus there are snacks after you get off the boat at 5 or so PM. One day they had ceviche, and it was pretty much the best ceviche. Also, we had some type of seafood carpaccio, fancy. Trust me, the food is out of this world! Very heavy seafood lean. ||Grounds: beautifully kept and maintained. There are four resident dogs that roam the ground freely which was great because we were missing our dogs. Paddle boards, massage on an island, ping pong, surfing, hiking…I was wishing i had a few more days on the resort (and fishing of course). We went on an hour hike and saw Monkeys smartly resting in the trees in mid day (unlike us who decided to hike during middle of the Panamanian day). Lizards and iguanas on the resort, many tropical birds. Not many mosquitoes. ||People: Super friendly, our fishing captain Fred and first mate Michael were top notch. I would fish with them again in a heartbeat! Yaneth and Gladys are some of the friendliest folks around. Our guide who took us hiking (in midday) brought water for us to drink in a cooler! ||All in all an amazing experience and would definitely come back.read moreread less
- Tina Smrkovski 4/18/2023From the second we arrived in Panama, all accommodations arranged by Yaneth have been spot on. Everyone we encountered has been courteous and timely. The island is beautiful, the rooms comfortable, the food and service were both amazing. We enjoyed our time there and will recommend it to others.Enjoy yoga, kayaking, beach, fishing or pool. It was all great! The island dogs were very friendly!read moreread less
- Ryan W 2/06/2023Cala Mia is paradise, pleasure, and happiness. David and his team (Gladis, Yaneth, Gube, Tati, Mykal, and more) are the most attentive, caring, and fun team. They made sure that our group of 4 had everything we needed for a great stay from meticulous meals, massages, tours of the island, and just great people to chat with.The fishing also delivered. We were able to catch one blue marlin, two black marlin, dozens of snappers, rainbow runner, etc. Tati is a world-class captain, Gube is easily the best deck hand / first mate I’ve ever sailed with, and the boat is all around comfortable. If you want the best offshore fishing in the world, come to Cala Mia!We will miss the Cala Mia Resort and team. We cannot wait to return!read moreread less
- Wade Underwood 1/23/2023Simply Phenomenal experience. Unfortunately, the Marlin bite wasn't on for us, but the entire staff including ownership and management went out of their way to ensure our little group was attended to. The food was great, resort itself fantastic, service second to none, boatsfishing equipment is well taken care of and the captains spare no expenseeffort to get on the fish. An to kick it all over top, the staff made a birthday cake for me after finding out I was there to celebrate with customized decorations. We'll be back.read moreread less

- Angie Fisher 12/14/2022From the second we arrived until the moment we had to leave, we were taken to paradise! The resort is breathing. The people made it even more special. Michael is the MAN! And the owners were so gracious! World class food imo, 4 of us loved every meal! Fishing was excellent, an amazing time on the Pacific we won’t soon forget! Chumbo, Michael, Fred & Kevin from PNC will get you on the fish! Hope to return again one day 🙂 Thank you for having usread moreread less
- Mike Thomas 1/21/2022If you like hard-core fishing but still want to enjoy fine food and very nice accommodations, this the place for you. From the moment we arrived to the time we had to leave, this resort took care of everything. The fishing was awesome and the food far exceeded our expectations. I can't wait to go back. The resort is very nice and well kept. There is plenty to explore when not fishing.read moreread less
- Keith Aurzada 12/21/2021Our stay at Cala Mia was 5-Star from the start to the finish. The experience begins with tremendous communication and organization. But, then the most amazing things begin. This resort has all-star service, great food, and world class fishing.With respect to the fishing, the boats are top notch. The captain and mate (Antonio and Michael) were amazing. They put us on fish every single day, and we caught every kind of fish imaginable including marlin, mahi mahi, and others.It is hard to say enough good things about our stay here. It was a trip of a lifetime and we will be back!read moreread less
- Tomka-Aviation 2/05/2020Un endroit absolument paradisiaque où nous avons passé quelques jours de rêve. Un personnel sympathique, attentionné toujours souriant et aux petits soins. Une cuisine savoureuse ! un grand chef !!! Important pour les français que nous sommes et qui apprécions même au bout du monde la gastronomie. Nous avons apprécié la magnifique piscine, le bungalow comfortable , le jeu d échec géant et les balades sur la colline avec la vue panoramique et le hamac pour en profiter au maximum. Merci à toute l équipe.read moreread less
- Sabine Borowsky 2/05/2020Nettes ruhiges Resort. Allerdings völlig überteuert. Man hat keine Möglichkeit als immer dort zu essen,, die Gerichte sind nichts besonderes.Das besondere daran sind die Preise.Keine Möglichkeit dem zu entgehen, oder man verhungert.Familienbetrieb. Kein geschultes Personal. Das Essen wird einem einfach weggenommen, obwohl man noch nicht fertig ist. Richtig schlecht.read moreread less
- Linda DeMuro 2/05/2020Outstanding Resort! What does Cala Mia not have cars, TVs and lot of people. What does Cala Mia have... great food starting with fresh island fruits and fish fresh from the ocean along with home-made pasta and to boot they will contact you prior to your stay so they can ensure they have what you want! An Amazing detail which begins the top notch customer service you will receive during your stay. The staff is simply gems of the Pacific, outstanding staff! Endless activities from relaxing in the infinity pool over looking the massive Pacific Ocean to enjoying the beach with it's hammock under the palms and soothing warm ocean water. We rode horses, went off-shore fishing, diving, snorkeling, kayaking in the mangroves and tour a coffee bean farm. Best most of all made more great family memories and made great new friends. thank you Cala Mai for creating such a great family vacation!read moreread less
