Perfect place to stay. It was a lovely large suite with a balcony. The bed was very comfortable! Many shops and stores nearby, and the breakfast at their restaurant across the road was very good. All in all, one of the nicest places to stay in Bocas town!

We stayed in the penthouse suite which was lovely! We had two bedrooms with two separate bathrooms which is always nice when traveling with young children. The room was very clean and breakfast is very good and made to order. This hotel is also in a great location being within walking distance to the airport and very close to water taxis, shops, tours, restaurants and more!

This hotel is very conveniently located in Bocas town-across the street from one of the water taxi stands and a 1 minute walk to Bocas Dive Center. It’s on the quieter side of town, which we appreciated. The breakfast restaurant is not actually on site-maybe a 4 minute walk away, but is lovely. We had issues with the wifi being inconsistent but I’m not sure if that was an issue with the hotel itself or an issue due to being on the island. We enjoyed the view from our small balcony and the fact that there was a big water station to refill water bottles since the tap water is not recommended for drinking.

This was a gorgeous little hideaway in the middle of town. I was fortunate enough to have the ground floor room with my own secret garden patio, totally secured and had a hammock and patio table/chairs. Bed was comfortable, and had 4 total different customizable pillows (some huge and fluffy small and firm) exactly what I needed to get comfortable! The bathroom was well appointed with hot water, shampoo, conditioner, soap towels! Always important the wifi was very strong! The affiliate restaurant is about 300 meters down the street towards town (Buena Vista) and it was so great I ended up eating all my meals there, not just the included breakfast!

Very friendly and knowledgable staff welcomes you at the hotel. The hotel is very well located, as it is very close to most restaurants and bars, but just removed enough so that it is quiet at night. The rooms are very nice and the beds very comfortable. The delicious complementary breakfast offered is at a restaurant very close by. The entire experience is easy, safe, and very enjoyable.

The staff was super sweet and the room was clean and huge. It was close enough to walk everywhere but not so much in the middle of town to get noisy outside. We loved our stay.
