Great view, there was some saftey concerns with loose boards, concrete pillars not making contact with the walkways, and some nails here and there. Its a beautiful place but be ready to spend a few extra dollars. Transport from almirante to bocas is extra. They only provide from bocas to their space and its limited times. Restaurants had good food but portions were small.

A beautiful place to relax and unwind, the location is unmatched and a bit remote but there is a restaurant and great service from all the staff! It was a hut on the water if you want luxury accommodations you will need to go to a luxury resort, we enjoyed the rustic feel and the tranquility!

The place is very tired and not well maintained. The amenities are not user friendly - e.g. getting into and out of the kayaks from the high dock is very challenging - my daughter fell into the water. There is a shortage of amenities. They were very late picking us up.

Beautiful ocean property, great for snorkelling right off your own private dock. Super relaxing listening to the ocean waves right outside your window. The staff were friendly and very efficient. Highly recommended!

Punta Caracol is a little slice of heaven. The cabins are very quaint and comfortable, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the views are spectacular. Staying over the water was like being on top of an aquarium. If you love nature and sea life, this is a must see! We loved every minute!

It was very nice and very serene. Nice little getaway. The water right outside the porch your private porch is great. If you are looking for peace and quiet this is your place. No TV, no fridge no outlets so I just suggest bring some power banks and you can charge at the front desk. The staff was nice and I believe the owners were there too and were super nice. We also got to see a few dolphins swimming close to our bungalow a couple of times.

Beautiful location and customer service was outstanding. The only issue we had was mainly the location and inability to charge devices in your lodge - devices needed to be left with reception to charge. While they had set times for free water taxis into Bocas Town, if you needed to leave outside of these times, it could cost anywhere from $15-$30USD/person for a one-way trip from local water taxis (well beyond the typical $1-$5USD/person for travel if you're in town). If you're looking to do lots of exploring and island hopping it may be a bit more of a hassle, but if you're looking to relax and disconnect, this is the place for you! Major shoutout to the staff for being so accommodating during our stay :)
