What a cool place! It’s part hostel and part hotel. We stayed in one of the hobbit homes and it was beyond cool. Everything was new and updated inside the home. It was a very nice, but casual environment around the hotel. It had a great vibe of young and older adults. The dining area is large and a great hangout for all visitors. The views of the mountains were fantastic. The staff was very helpful and even had a laundry service for us. The food was great. It was a very fun and unique place to stay. We really enjoyed it and would book there again.

Amazing staff...Amazing view
Stayed in Cocobolo "hobbit house". So cute and unique. High ceiling, sliding door w screen. Birds everywhere in the garden. Amazing view. Shared basic kitchen with fridge. No coffee maker...but a tea kettle. Restaurant on site that is actually open 7 days. Pool and hot tub. Lots of hiking nearby. Better to have a car to get to and from town...but taxis are a few bucks. $30 shuttle daily 8am gets you to bocas del toro. $20 Uber from David. Staff are extremely helpful and all speak fluent english. Great recommendations for restaurants in town...plus where to shop for bakery, veggies and gifts. There's a little info book on all to see and do in the area. So very helpful! Loved this place. Would stay again in a heartbeat
