This was our first time living in a cottage on stilts over the crystal Caribbean and it was amazing. Beautiful sunsets off the dock down Saigon Bay each night. We brought our car but also used plentiful taxis and water taxis. The hosts are wonderful, friendly, professional but also personal. We will 100% stay here again.

I have never stayed in a place like this - it was so unique! Walking along the pier to the cabin is a treat. Lots of unique fish and colorful plants. And it is even better at night. We saw sea stars, neons, angel fish, barracuda, and a lot more. The cabin itself is both rustic and comfortable, which is hard to do. The two balconies offer amazing views of the bay. You can easily walk to a couple of places on the isthmus. It's about a 20 minute walk to the heart of Bocas town, or an easy cab ride that should cost about $1 per person.The staff were extremely nice. We enjoyed this very much.

The units are very basic and need repairs. We left two days early because the wind was creating so much noise from loose boards and furniture moving we couldn't sleep. Asked for a discount but received nothing. Also no car parking close by. Ended up having to park on the street and had 3 hubcaps stolen which ended costing $330! So much garbage in the water I wouldn't even consider swimming in it. Stay away!

Spacious. Nice kitchenette. Bottled water provided. Our cabin was one of the furthest out onto the water, so it had a nice view. Great deck. The property is a bit far from the main downtown area, about 20 minutes walk. Also the area surrounding the property is kind of sketchy. It's not a very nice walk to get from the main road to the property.

I hate to give a bad review, but I have to. Our unit was sparsely outfitted. There were no furnishings for your cloths. Hangers on the walls for your clothes and used bath towels would be an improvement. The biggest problem was the bed! The sheet was dirty, the kind of dirt you do not want to see. Under the sheet was even worse. Bad. The housing approaching the lodge is challenged. Depressing in some instances. It smells on some days. Some days there is trash floating in the water. These are things to owners cannot control. Panama should be better than this!! It is a nice place. The people are nice. Getting a taxi is no problem. I do not know how people give it a 10.

The cabins are beautiful, clean, and the staff is amazing. The location is a bit of a buzz kill. I was dropped off on a sidewalk and had to walk through a very impoverished area that felt a bit sketchy to get to the property. It was quiet in the evening but I was woken up a little after 4am by a boat bringing wood for a construction project followed by locals being pretty loud, followed by the neighbor yelling at his wife and mother in-law (luckily my son doesn’t speak Spanish because they were pretty harsh words). The owners have a great place and the things that aren’t great are out of their control.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The property was pretty, but my complaint is about the customer service from the attendant working the office during check-in. He offered to cancel one reservation for a room that we had next to the office and move us into the house over the water where my other friend was staying by himself in a large house with plenty of room where he already had a reservation. I paid $60.50 on my credit card at the time onsite and he assured me that the other original reservation I had would be cancelled and the money returned to my credit card, but it never was. So i'm still awaiting a refund for the room that I never used after paying more to move to the other house with my companions that had another reservation. Please refund the $60.50 to my Mastercard.
