We had a great time! The hostel is very close to the centre. The host is very friendly, taught us how to make the most delicous crab pasta! He gave us great tips on boat tours/ restaurants/ shuttles etc. The room was clean and a very nice bathroom. You can also swim at the hotel, and it has a spacious ‘chill’ area. Would definitly come here again!!.

The location is nice, near center of the town, and it is convenient to go to the central city. Surrounding shops, restaurants, bars are plentiful, locals live. The room facilities are sufficient. The water pressure was small and not very warm.

El Jaguar was the first hostel where I have arrived by boat; there are hammocks and loungers near the jetty where you can sit and look out over the lagoon. There's a well organised kitchen with huge fridge freezers and the staff are friendly and helpful.

Amazing deck, can swim directly from hostel, nice tunes and food. Welcome drink on arrival. Activities organised. Off the centre of town but not a bad thing as there’s currently construction in town.

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.

Enrique is an excellent host, so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. He even took our children out on a fishing trip. We were upgraded to the larger room with it’s own kitchen. The hostel is in a great location, and has a dock right in front. There is a mini market right next door, and some lovely restaurants nearby.
