Nice hotel o the water.
The hotel staff are great. Breakfast is very good. There is a large sitting area outside over the water. The rooms is a decent size but could use a new bed. We would stay again if in Bocas.

Needs to be renovated.
This hotel was a 7 minute walk from the water taxi and a 5 minute walk to town. Hotel had a restaurant with good prices but we opted to eat elsewhere. Staff were kind and friendly. The room was a bit small for 3 adults and a baby but it was fine (we stayed in the multiple bed room). A/c worked wonderfully but there was a green light that lit up all night. It was bothersome. The ceilings can be remodeled as there are holes. The bathroom was tiny and had mold/mildew. Never got any warm water and the pressure was very weak. It was challenging to wash the sand off. Overall this hotel, in our opinion, should have been priced closer to $50 a night. Hotels.com couldn’t get us a partial refund and we couldn’t cancel as the deadline had passed. We made due and it’s fine if you’re planning to be out most of the day.

pleasant stay
We found this hotel to be adequate for our stay. The location is on the waterfront which was lovely for the breakfast as well as any time during the day to hang out. There was also a sitting area on the second floor which we used daily during our stay as the rooms were small and did not have seating. The breakfast was fresh and plentiful and the coffee was good and the serving staff was very accommodating. The wifi worked very well. The beds were ok and we did have a bar frig in our room. We didn’t use our balcony as it was small and overlooked a gutter. The location is good and Bocas del Toro is a very walkable town. We had easy access to restaurants, bakeries, grocery stores and other sites and services. The town seemed very safe And although we felt safe we wondered about the overnight security at the hotel.

No vale lo que se paga
Decepcionante ver un hotel que te den paños y toallas de manos desgarradas , televisión de vieja tecnología y con mensaje que se va a suspender por falta de pago, deberían avisar que no ofrecen almuerzo ya que un día bajamos a almorzar y estaba toda la zona cerrada,
