The staff was very friendly and the location is just awesome! The sea was very very calm during our stay and the water was so clear. Definitely a great experience!! I recommend taking an external charger since there is no electricity except for the light in the cabins.
The food was a bit expensive for the fact that it only tasted ok. Also, when we wanted to check out in the morning there was nobody there. For us it was ok, since we weren’t in a rush and could have told them a night before - but it felt a bit strange to know, that there wouldn’t be anyone there in an emergency

The location about 20 minutes by boat from town, was magnificent! The snorkeling right off of our deck was perfect, and we snorkeled several times daily. The kayaking was also fantastic, and there is a nearly area where one would swear that they are in the Amazon. It is magical. The food was a bit TOO good, but the 2 pounds I picked up was well worth it! Also, the tropical drinks were amazing!
The nights were a bit warm, and though they didn't bother a vast majority of the guests, I was allergic to the mosquito bites. Most of the guests didn't even get a bite, but the mosquitoes, much like they do at my home in the states, loved me!

The location is perfect for those of us looking for peace and quiet, within a great natural environment. The entire hotel is literally on the water, with all small fishes going around and under in the crystal-clear water. We snorkeled and kayaked around the hotel. Staff were all very friendly. Food was great, most of the times we ate there. They have a free boat-shuttle with Bocas del Toro.
Water in the shower and tub is desalinized, and electricity is mostly solar, being so remote from civilization. BUT they give you enough bottled water, to drink and wash your teeth.

I liked the experience of staying there for 4 nights although my family said for 2 nights is max. If you expect just nature , silence and relax it is a good place. It is just water around so the activities you may do are reading, sunbathing and water activities ( swimming, kayaking and snorkeling but you may see no much underwater wonders there). No wifi in the lodges only in the restaurant area. You may charge devices only at the bar counter. It was doable for us so bring mobile batteries with you if you cannot survive without your mobile/tablet or laptop.On the other hand it is a perfect place to disconnect. The cleaning service was offered each day, bottled water delivered by cleaning ladies every day,Be aware that there is slightly salty water in the bathroom. You have to use the bottled water to brush your teeth. The place offers 4 times a day a boat transport to Bocas for free. Otherwise for a boat taxi to a nearest beach - star beach we had to pay 75$ ( 25 per person)- which I think too much for to and back - twice 10 min drive. They took advantage that you do not have a choice, no other alternative. Star beach, which is I think the nearest one was ok - do not expect the beach will look like from holidays brochures. No nice golden sand , plastic chairs everywhere , a lot of rubbish behind restaurant areas and no really place to put your towel and relax. I did not really like it although starfish beach - sounds nice, doesn't it? Many restaurants but the quality of food seemed to me very low- for me it was a risk to eat there- of course my very personal view on hygiene. We ordered in one but we did not eat what was served. Bring your own biscuits and order bottled drinks- my recommendation.
Restaurant is a nice place with music and drinks. Do not expect culinary experience there. The quality and taste of dishes will make you not to be hungry, that's all. The serving ladies could not even prepare a tea! They used to bring me lukewarm water and a tea sachet so of course the tea did not have a taste at all. I am a tea drinker so I found this a nuisance. Coffee as well was never served enough warm. But these are just details not so important for most of people.

The place is absolutely beautiful
The hotel is in the middle of nowhere, so you have to eat most of your meals there. The food is absolutely terrible, I would say borderline inedible. I understand this in part bc they don’t have a lot of electricity on site, but there seems to a total lack of understanding of what can be prepped in advance. So beyond being bad it is also extremely slow. The waitresses are also terrible. Also DO NOT STAY IF YOU ARE A VEGETARIAN, YOU WILL STARVE

The location on the water and the silence of nature are just perfect, like a dream coming true. The cabins are nice, simple, there is no tv and u can enjoy the sea to the fullest, just sit on your porch and watch the fish jumping outside the water and a group of dolphins passing by! The stuff is helpful and friendly and you can take snorkel equipment and a kayak for no charge. You cannot charge your phone in the room, only in the restaurant area. There are free boat taxis from town and to town on several hours, make sure to get informed before you take an expensive one to the hotel! Location is great, about 10 min to starfish beach and 15 to town.
The lack of AC is noticable but managable. It was raining at night and you couldnt sit on the porch because of how it is built. We r vegans and there werent many options for dinner (we should have told them in advance), food is average. Wifi not very good in the room, good in the restaurant area (also an advantage;)

The location is amazing. Snorkeling right off your deck. Amazing walk through the jungle. Kayaks and snorkeling gear are complimentary. Reception was able to arrange several tours for us. They offer three complementary water taxis throughout the day from the island to bocas del Toro. It is definitely a rustic setting was absolutely amazing
Due to the remote location of the property, I think there should be a complimentary coffee tea station. Also due to the remote nest of the location you are, relying on their restaurant for all of your food needs. go to town and bring back your own provisions. This isn't necessarily a complaint but I feel like you need to be prepared

Location was amazing. The hotel staff was really nice. The kitchen staff was outstanding.
Snorkeling equipment was old, and the rooms were hot. And I mean hot. The first night it was super uncomfortable to sleep. They need to do better job with fans or something. And the fact that there is no power in the rooms except for their small lights which to be honest isn't a lot, is kind of unacceptable. They need to install bigger or more solar panels for each one so that you can actually charge your phone. My husband needed a CPAP machine that he could not use

Our stay here was lovely. The property is beautiful. The rooms are not luxury which I feel is the expectation for overwater bungalows but people need to take into account both price and location when determining value. Bocas is an in-demand destination accessibly by direct flight from Panama City in about 40 minutes. The bungalow is spacious and clean, no TV but you're here to relax. The snorkeling was great fun and we enjoyed taking out the kayaks on an adventure. The food was decent, service is slow but that's general for Panama and the views and ambiance while waiting are pleasant so no complaints.
The frequency of the hotel boat shuttle could be increased, we would've been more inclined then to go explore Bocas Town or go out for dinner. I will note, the shuttle is available by request but then you have to decide in advance and can't quite be as spontaneous.

Great bungalows on the water. Feels like a real treat! Stunning views. Quiet and calm place to relax, soak in the sun and swim in crystal clear waters. Away from hustle of bocas town and all the motor boats. Snorkeling and kayaking from the doorstep. Great food and super nice and helpful staff! Recommended for relaxation and quiet place
Nothing ! But to keep in mind, on the flipside the remote location comes with higher prices (food, transport to beach/town etc) and takes a while to get places.
