10/10 Excellent
"The staff is very helpful and attentive, the hotel is beautiful, sparkling clean and the garden is lush. I need to mention that entry with a vehicle can be be difficult because the gate can be opened only from the reception and if no one is available, there is just no way to open it. And it is a longish walk from the gate to the hotel, which we had to do under pouring rain to get to our taxi outside. Other than that, the stay was amazing and even better than expected for the price. Honestly great."

"This was our favourite stop on our 3 week trip. This property is a piece of paradise. The bungalow over the water was amazing - clean and spacious! The breakfast was wonderful and the lunch and dinner options were also amazing. We loved the nature trail and we made good use of the paddle boards on offer. However, the best thing about this hotel is the staff. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel like family. All of the staff were so kind, friendly and helpful. They were wonderful with our 16 month old. Special shout out to Rafia (sorry if this is spelt wrong) - he was brilliant with our son! This hotel will always be our favourite holiday destination. Thank you so much everyone, we hope to be vac one day!"

"We really did not know what to expect going to Bocas del Toro for the first time. We could not have picked a more perfect spot. World class surfing out the front door, million dollar room views, a beautiful beach and snorkeling that rolls up onto the beach bar. Staff is extraordinary, in fact, everyone was incredibly friendly, kind and helpful! The property is beautiful. Very clean, safe and quiet. The lodge staff and owners went over and beyond to accommodate any requests we made. 12/10! We are already planning a return trip! Highly recommend!"
