The hotel offers standard rooms with showers, but some are dingy and lack windows, which limits their usability. The service varies, with some staff being accommodating, while others are unfriendly and make mistakes with payments. The location is a bit far from the town but is a plus for those exploring the Island of Bocas del Toro. Dining options can be hit or miss, with some creative dishes but also limited and disappointing buffet selections at times.

My stay at the hotel had its highlights and drawbacks. The location was great with easy access to the beach and nearby restaurants. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but some lacked natural light and had uncomfortable furniture. The service was acceptable, although there were issues with communication and staff behavior. The dining options were a bit limited and overpriced. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement in certain areas.

6.6/10

The hotel had a sea view from the ground floor room, but lacked a window in the entrance, making it not very usable. A booklet on local attractions was missing, which would have been helpful. The service was a bit lackluster with staff seeming uninterested at times, though they were accommodating when asked to change rooms. The location was amazing with beautiful views of the bay and convenient access to town. The dining experience offered a variety of Panamanian options but didn't seem worth the price. Overall, it's a decent option for a stay in Bocas.

The dining options were delicious and varied, offering some nice Panamanian choices, but the pricing may not be justified.
