El restaurante y la música ambiente

El pésimo internet y la mala limpieza dentro de la habitación

Wir haben 2 tolle Nächte hier verbracht. Das Hotel liegt direkt am Wasser. Das Zimmer ist gemütlich und modern eingerichtet (sieht genauso aus wie auf den Bildern). Unser Zimmer hatte zudem einen kleinen Balkon mit Tisch und Stühlen. Der Ausblick aufs Wasser ließ uns träumen. Das Bett war sehr gemütlich. Das hoteleigene Restaurant bietet ausreichend Auswahl an leckeren Gerichten. Wer das Frühstück hinzu bucht, darf ein Gericht a la carte wählen. Die Cocktails und Smoothies sind sehr lecker. Besonders die Scampi-Spieße und der Kokosreis sind zu empfehlen. Das Personal war zu jeder Zeit freundlich und hilfsbereit. Alles war sehr sauber. Vom Steg ist ein direkter Einstieg ins Wasser möglich. Zudem sind Schaukeln angebracht, auf denen man wunderbar die Sonne genießen kann Für das Schloss am Zimmer bekommt man einen Code, was toll ist, da man so keine Karte bei sich tragen muss. Einen Föhn konnten wir uns an der Rezeption leihen. In der Umgebung gibt es fussläufig ein paar Einkaufsläden. Per Wassertaxi kamen wir am Anleger an und wurden mit einem Taxi direkt ins Hotel gefahren. Die Abreise auf die Insel Bastimentos erfolgte am hoteleigenen Steg. Wassertaxis können vom Personal immer recht zügig geordert werden..

Es gab nur Zimmerservice auf Anfrage. Wir brauchten aber wenigstens neue Handtücher. Im Hotel gibt es Trinkwasser zum Abfüllen. Dieses ist jedoch nicht genießbar, sodass ich davon abrate.

Amazing deck, can swim directly from hostel, nice tunes and food. Welcome drink on arrival. Activities organised. Off the centre of town but not a bad thing as there’s currently construction in town.

The pod was like a small warm cave, personal fan doesn’t make much difference. The bathroom in dorm didn’t have air con so was very hot. Reception staff could be less corporate and more friendly.

The hotel has a nice quiet location in Bocas town, very nice sun & bathing platform, nice restaurant on the water, everything well maintained & very modern and clean. The staff was outstanding friendly, reception, housekeeping, restaurant- just great. The food with a Greek touch war marvellous.

We were really happy about the public places and then we checked in. We booked the smallest private category "Just right" with no balcony, because we only stayed one night, so our expectations were not high. But unfortunately they weren´t met. The small room was in the souterrain with a small window, which was not to open, and very less light, because the water tanks & their pumps were in front of the window, so not only less light, but the whole night very loud noises next to your head. It´s the same level like the hostel doorms and a very light door, so you have the noise from the young people at the aisle as well (we are in our 30s so no old people, but it was really much). We payed a 111 $ rate for the night and this is not comparable for such a room. The interior is also modern and it was clean, but we didn´t slept at all with all the noises and no fresh air around. This room is not more than a Budget/last room availability option and the price of this is cheeky.

I never leave reviews however this hostel was so disappointing I need to. This hostel was more expensive than my hostels in Australia and New Zealand (which are more expensive countries than Panama) yet the stay was poor. For my first two days there was limited water. They kept switching it on and off so we didn’t have access to water most of the time. A girl in my room had diarrhoea and couldn’t flush the toilet which was stressful for us all. This was not an island issue because my friends were in other hostels and didn’t have problems. The bathroom was always dirty. There were flies in the kitchen. For the price I paid I expect a good quality hostel yet it fell so short from that. The aircon in my room leaked and made one of the girl’s bags very wet. When she was washing it, she started feeling nauseous and short of breath. Turns out it was poisonous. They weren’t apologetic to her and didn’t offer her monetary compensation. I would highly advise against staying at this hostel. For the price you pay, it is not worth it at all. Other hostels in the area are better value for money.

O quarto com sacada para o nascer do sol é espaçoso, camas confortáveis, lençóis branquinhos, splite silencioso, banheiro espaçoso com vista, o shampoo, condicionador e sabonete para as mãos são ótimos. Área de restaurante é ótima, no cardápio tem opções deliciosas para o café da manhã/almoço/jantar. Os passeios para praias lindas foi maravilhoso, fizemos 2 dias de passeio. Um obrigada a equipe toda do hotel ( hospedagem/restaurante) pelo sempre pronto atendimento e gentileza. Meninas no restaurante sempre com aquele sorriso.

Infelizmente as ruas não são asfaltadas e falta saneamento na cidade.

Me encantó la habitación, muy bonita con su balcón y muy cómodas las camas.

Lo sentí un poco lejos del centro, pero no es nada grave.
