    Excelent choice in Bocas Town. Very good location. Close (by walk) to main boat docks and restaurant and bars. In pool area is very good chilli vibe. Staff is really nice and helpful, especially on recepcion. They organized everything for us, even the tours and boat took us on the hotel pier (so you dont need to negotiate with locals on street).

    Brilliant stay here, Thomas is a great host, available with lots of information and tips of how to get to places and where to go. Kitchen was clean and two fridges were available so you never fought for space. Free coffee everyday and hot showers. Laundry was done at a good price for a full basket. Daily cleaning of the room was a lovely surprise too!

    Very beautiful, safe and calm location, design, arrangement, atmosphere, nature (you can observe parrots and hummingbirds while relaxing at the pool), outstanding food (even with good vegetarian options), amazing hosts (Benoit and Fabienne were so friendly, approachable and helpful - we felt as if we were staying with a host family), possibility of renting a kayak for free. We also liked the concept of a slower lifestyle in harmony with nature.

    The location is great, being located on the water and a short walk from restaurants in Old Bank. The room we stayed in had a good view of the bay from the balcony. Luis was a great host who gladly attended to any of our needs and helped to organize activities for our stay in Bocas del Toro and our excursion to Red Frog Beach.
