The place surprised us as it was better than we guessed from the pictures. We had a very comfortable apartment with bathroom and small kitchen. The needs were comfy and the airco much appreciated.

This family run accommodation is amazing value for money with two kitchens, friendly & very helpful staff and right on the water with its own pier for water taxi collection. The accommodation has lots of tables and hammocks for relaxing and is very close to local restaurants and a small supermarket. It is a beautiful 20 minute walk through the jungle to get to Wizard beach and a short water taxi to Red Frog beach and Isla Colon.

    Great location and if you like to party it is the perfect spot to meet new people. Also, everyday new activities and you should make sure to be at the Filthy Friday party (everyone around is coming and the whole hostel is packed!).

    The location is perfect, just one min away from Bocas town. The hostel got a lot of potential, keep in mind is a party hostel so it's very loud, but if you are looking to meet new people this is the right place.
