I loved the hospitality, the value for money and the great vibe in the hostel. All the people were amazing and we ended up going on a private boat tour with everyone from the hostel. Wonderful memories, I highly reccomend.

The hotel and the entire surrounding landscape are a true paradise. The operators of the hotel are extremely friendly and very helpful and are available to answer any questions with competent answers. They also gave us tips for leisure activities. The hotel itself leaves nothing to be desired and offers every comfort. Some people have written in their reviews that there are no shopping facilities in the immediate vicinity and that it is better to stock up on drinks before travelling. It is true that there is no shop nearby, but water is available free of charge at any time of the day or night. The drinks in the hotel bar can also be bought at a really fair price. And actually, you know before you book that you've chosen a hotel in a secluded location, so that shouldn't be a problem anyway. And to be honest, it's the location in the middle of nature on the beautiful beach that gives the hotel its special flair. The food in the restaurant was very tasty and we always enjoyed it. The breakfast was included in the room rate, was very good and you could also choose from different variations. We really enjoyed the hotel and will definitely be back. Thanks a lot for the great days and your excellent hospitality! Oops, I almost forgot, you can also watch sloths and howler monkeys from the hotel. Really cute to watch :)

Wow! Just wow! This is a dreamer's paradise. Our room was like a fairytale. Sound of waves lulled us to sleep. I kept wondering about how much love was poured into building this work of art hotel. This hidden gem made our trip to Bocas 100 times better

Had a great stay here. The owner sent an information brochure in advance about the accomodation and the island, really super! If you worry its far from the center…don’t. Its a bit over 10 minutes by taxi and only costs 2 dollars. In return you get an accomodation thats brand new and clean, including a nice bar/kitchen at the pool! The town Bocas itself is a bit messy in Jan 2025 with open roads/construction and a lot of dirt and water so it was a blessing to stay here. The bungalow itself has everything you need: good shower and bed, AC, etc. and is nicely decorated. Certainly recommend this place!

Everything! The cottage is beautiful...large with big bedrooms. The kitchen/ sitting area was spacious. The outdoor balcony is wide with a dining table and a view of the jungle...along with jungle sounds! The cottage is all wood giving it a real comfortable relaxing feeling. Close to the beach and several restaurants. Fabulous...if we ever get back to Bluff we would absolutely stay again 😊
