This was an excellent location. Very friendly staff and ready to help. Rooms and showers were clean. Liked the advantage of having a fridge in the room and water coolers throughout the property. AC in room was working excellent. Included breakfast was very good and we liked the fact that the property was located conveniently to reach walking all in town amenities, but still in the quieter end of the main road. If needed, walking distance to airport.

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!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.
