The property is very centrally located close to everything. The rooms are small but we had a balcony which helped. The hotel is bright and clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good. The only drawback was we were on the top floor and there is no elevator so a lot of stairs to climb.

The hotel itself is conveniently located by the water taxis. So if you want to island hop, or are staying somewhere else - its super easy to get to/from. Close to local buses, the airport (within 7 min walking distance). Lots of restaurants and cafes nearby. The check in process was smooth- we got early check in. Hotel provides breakfast at a nearby restaurant which was fantastic. The hotel was clean. Its a little loud at night. The bed isn't the most comfortable, but for one night it was great.

The location is great. Friendly front desk. No elevator, so our 3rd floor water-view room kept us in shape. The main road is pot-holed, (big puddles in the rain,) and terrible, and is under repair. Not the hotel's fault. The view from the balconies is spectacular. We spent hours just sitting there, watching the boats go back and forth below. The Tiki Bar also offers that view at water level. Good Tiki Happy Hour drinks. The bar across the harbor (currently "Aqua,") was noisy until late, with loud music traveling far. (Not the hotel's fault.) Nice, comfortable bed. Minor points: the shower drained slowly, and we were worried it would flood the bathroom, but it didn't. Stingy amounts of complimentary shampoo/conditioner. We had to ask for more. Reeeely thick, firm, pillows the size of haystacks were a bit hard to get used to. Could trim them by half, and they'd still be fine. Overall, 4.5 stars. We'd happily stay there again.

We had an ocean view room on the 2nd floor. The room was amazing, great air conditioning with lots of room. The staff was wonderful, the food was delicious, Samuel, our bartender at the Tiki Bar was an absolute joy! For only $5 we were able to have our laundry done for us, and the private boat was able to pick us up right at our own dock at the hotel. BUT, the Aqua Lounge across the water was a nightmare. Almost every single night they blared music so loud that even a football field away you couldn't sleep. All the way to 4am one night. Earplugs will NOT work. Bring them and noise cancelling headphones for any hope of getting good rest. I wish I didn't have to include this but it's only fair. Residents and local businesses are trying to do something about it, but apparently the owners of Aqua Lounge will not cooperate. It's a shame really. Even school children have a hard time because they can't sleep at night. Yes, I would stay there again because we loved it, but not without headphones and ear plugs.

Overall it was good. The only downside was the hotel never got the reservation from hotels.com, but they were honorable enough to give us the rooms at the same rate. Even did an upgrade to one room because it was full.

The balcony really makes this hotel for us. It is large with a great view over the water, perfect for happy hour. It can get hot but the air conditioning works well. Shower is nice and bathroom large enough. Hotel is close to everything in town and lots of restaurants. Breakfast area is nice and breakfast was good. I recommend for a stay in Bocas town.
