This is such a cool place! Beautiful surroundings and a unique experience. It is rustic, but a fun adventure. You must climb up and down quite steep stairs to get to the bedroom. Unfortunately, we had lots of rain, so took the water taxi into town and did some exploring. We went to red frog beach. Beautiful! Staff are nice. Food good. Not many vegetarian options, but overall good. We kayaked and snorkeled. Beautiful! I highly recommend.

Expedia sold me a "package deal" for flight and stay. Expedia failed to deliver, they only providing a flight to Panama and no flight to Bocas. Nor was any of this mentioned or disclosed that you would be responsible for the additional in the "package deal" I contacted Expedia 2-weeks before the trip to get this issue resolved. They were NO HELP. Then I contacted this resort directly via email and phone to try to change my check in date to accommodate the additional flights needed to get to Bocas and the resort. They NEVER replied, or answered the phone to provide help or to make the situation right, or even the common courtesy to email me back or answer the phone. I was taken advantage of, and ALL of the money I spent on this trip was down the drain. Very upset and disappointed.

This was the perfect ecolodge on the water! Maria, who owns and manages the lodge, always went over and above for our family to arrange day trips/boat rides to town and provided amazing travel guidance. We needed to charge our phones at reception but it was a small price to pay for a beautiful and unique Panama experience with great rooms and gorgeous views. We ate our breakfasts and lunches on site but preferred the restaurants in town for dinner. Our teens loved it and want to go back! Highly recommend!

It was very unique. I highly recommend it. Some suggestions to make it more unique include: allowing us to charge phones in our rooms; make it more eco friendly by having people fill up water bottles from a main dispenser rather than small single use bottles. We liked the fact that the kayaks and snorkels were included. More local food choices on the menu.

Hay que tener mucho cuidado. Lo único bueno de este hotel es la fotografía del anuncio. No hay aire acondicionado (la temperatura es de casi 35 grados y la humedad altísima) Cuando llueve, el agua se mete por los techos, mojando todo. Solo hay electricidad para un par de focos. La actitud del staff es muy negativa. Nada se puede! Yo tenía reservado por 4 noches pero sólo aguantamos 1 y nos cambiamos a otro hotel. Se negaron rotundamente a reembolsarme las 3 noches no ocupadas. Todo muy frustrante y desagradable!

A beautiful place to relax and unwind, the location is unmatched and a bit remote but there is a restaurant and great service from all the staff! It was a hut on the water if you want luxury accommodations you will need to go to a luxury resort, we enjoyed the rustic feel and the tranquility!
