Perfect place to stay. It was a lovely large suite with a balcony. The bed was very comfortable! Many shops and stores nearby, and the breakfast at their restaurant across the road was very good. All in all, one of the nicest places to stay in Bocas town!

Very friendly and knowledgable staff welcomes you at the hotel. The hotel is very well located, as it is very close to most restaurants and bars, but just removed enough so that it is quiet at night. The rooms are very nice and the beds very comfortable. The delicious complementary breakfast offered is at a restaurant very close by. The entire experience is easy, safe, and very enjoyable.

The staff was super sweet and the room was clean and huge. It was close enough to walk everywhere but not so much in the middle of town to get noisy outside. We loved our stay.

All great, handy location but none of the patio doors lock so had to lug all valuables and equipment around as room was not secure. Friendly staff at front counter.
