Great location - you can’t beat staying on water and being 15 min from a beautiful tropical beach! Also, Jesse and Steven are very welcoming and attentive hosts. They gave us good advice what to do and how to get there. We liked their breakfast, it’s quite filling.

This place was the best spot on the island in my opinion. Our dogs loved it and the staff were really great. Felt safe and welcome. Great location on the island with easy access to taxis whenever needed. Highly recommend if staying on canenero island.

6/10

There are limited dining options - the first day we arrived the both restaurants were closed - breakfast took over an hour each day which is too long - dinner was great the lobster with passionfruit butter was well work it. It is a cute spot but you do need to take a water taxi anywhere you go, the rooms are small but okbjust for sleeping

Just a quick boat ride from Bocas Del Toro to a super cute small waterfront resort with pool bar and restaurant ! Staff was very helpful with tours and directions to give the water taxis for what piers and so on

It was great Jone the owner was awesome, the food was great. To get a water taxi to the property is not a problem.
3-night trip

8/10

We stayed here for 2 nights and the hosts were great. The rooms were great as well. I only wish the bar was open later and on Wednesdays seems like they do not open at all. For a hotel I would think guests want to have drinks by the pool while they are on the property. You can jump right off the docks into the clear water and see all types of fish. If they ever change the restaurant/bar times I will go back for sure.

10/10

It was awesome from the minute I arrived. Family owned business that went out of their way to ensure every detail was covered. Helped book excursions, gave suggestions on things to do. The food was incredible, everything I had and I had at least 2 meals there a day was delicious. The waitresses were friendly and responsive The bartenders were all so much fun with great personalities. Gave average rating on noise but learned turn AC on and that drowned it out.

Don’t look into the corners. One week was too long. On the bright side - hot showers were good and the bed was comfortable. Sink was loose and toilet third world. The bar staff (Ana) was the best😁

2-night trip

10/10

Inexpensive for what you get. I stayed in a private over the water cabin with my own private bathroom. Conveniently close to Bocas Town. Host was friendly, patient, and very helpful. Has its own restaurant and bar, so really no need to go anywhere else. I would rent again.

Zero beach and/or swimming area. Garbage in the water. Cute bungalow over the water
3-night trip

4/10

We stayed three days and the room was not cleaned once. We also dined in the restaurant and would not recommend the lobster. The accommodations themselves were very unique and quaint however seasoned.
3-night trip

10/10

We loved this hotel. The staff are amazing and the location is great; only a 1 minute boat ride from Isla Colon which takes you directly to the hotel. The room was very spacious with comfortable beds and a small fridge. A half hour stroll through the friendly neighbourhood and you on the other side of the island. The only thing worth a mention was the air conditioner was a bit noisy but we found the nights were cool enough without it.
1-night trip

8/10

The place itself is beautiful and the owner is nice. I enjoyed the view, ac, the comfortable beds and room (i personally find hammocks more comfortable than the wooden chairs they have but it’s a personal preference). The island is gorgeous but FULL of Sandflies which makes it impossible to be outside for more than five minutes. It made me literally SICK, im still coping with the aftermath.
1-night trip

2/10

The website (expedia) photo are very diffrent. Room has a bad odor, noisy ac, and sadly a very poor neighborhood with houses with poverty on a garbage field. All the dirt are floating on the sea. I wish i could read the other comments. Expedia helpdesk didnt help me at all. This is my last trip with expedia, asap its over i will cancell my account!
