    Conveniently on the beach for easy access, free kayak rentals and the pool lounge area is also nice. We didn't know the weather is opposite here than... in Panama City, so it rained and was overcast most of the time which was disappointing but we still enjoyed it. We were there right after Easter (Holy Week/Semana Santa) so it was pretty dead, and more of a family resort. It's a short cab ride ($2/person each way before midnight) into Bocas town where all the shops and restaurants/bars are, but away from the noise if the town was raging. The room smelled a bit funky but I'm used to all Panama places being like that due to the humidity + AC + beachfront locations. Breakfast isn't very good but I was happy to have yogurt, scrambled eggs, fresh fruit and porridge just to get my day started. by Sandra S  from Oakland, CA on 04/05/13

    This is a nice property. Not great like we expected from the photos, but its nice. The pool was dirty and stagnant, the water level wasn't even reaching the filters and it was filled with bugs. The service was awful, with the exception of Yvette and one other person at the front desk (can't remember her name). They were great, but everyone else barely […] said anything to us, looked away as we passed by and didn't seem to know much about anything. We had an awful dining experience our first night, the food was tasteless, overpriced and cold. My wife and I were so disgusted with everything after our first night (the a/c in our room didn't work either) that we wanted to take a 5 hour bus ride back to The Haven in Boquete where we had just come from. Yvette promised to make everything better and she did help. She upgraded us to a suite and gave us a few amenities, so we stayed. The whole experience was just alright. From the website we expected a lot, but the place didn't live up to its hype. Just be forewarned, don't expect what's in the photos. Read more

    The delux suites stay in a "common" balcony, one can actually see the neighbours' beds and not even robes are provided; it took 1,5H to deliver a cheese burger 8and then it came without cuttlery); booked smoking room, all non-smoking; impossible to organize excursions the night in advance (and terrible manners of the tour desk); far from center (and […] few shuttles provided); all the pool is devoid of ANY shade area unless you want to sit in a table); limited dining options and poor menu; mini-bar was empty; wi-fi goes up and down, one can hardly go through with a Skype phone call; all the internal phone numbers don't work except the poor girl in the front desk; the one hotel EVER not to offer a bottle of water upon arrival; there's no manager available to communicate; airport transfer (1,5km away only) is free on pickup but then charged immensely (given the short distance) on drop off!

    El hotel es bonito, la atencion es simple pero buena, hay algunos detalles de la habitacion que hablan de poca mantencion del lugar (puertas que se caen, bano con occido etc), falta atencion en cosas simples como muchas moscas en el desayuno y no hacen nada para sacarlas. Pese a todo creo que es uno de los mejores hoteles de Bocas del Toro.

    Room was clean and stylish, sheets were nice. We could have the air conditioner on at all time if we wanted so there was no problem arriving at a nice could room after a day at the beach. Electricity could also be left turned on even though no person was in the room. All you needed was to leave one of the keys. Cleaners did not touch it. Nice! The room […] was a bit smelly as humidity caused some mold attack. The front desk gave us an ozone air purifier which we had in our room for the rest of our stay (turned off when in the room. turned on when out). Read more
