It was great Jone the owner was awesome, the food was great. To get a water taxi to the property is not a problem.

Inexpensive for what you get. I stayed in a private over the water cabin with my own private bathroom. Conveniently close to Bocas Town. Host was friendly, patient, and very helpful. Has its own restaurant and bar, so really no need to go anywhere else. I would rent again.

It was wonderful. We just had some issues with the air conditioner, should be changed. Other than that, we had a very good time.

We loved this hotel. The staff are amazing and the location is great; only a 1 minute boat ride from Isla Colon which takes you directly to the hotel. The room was very spacious with comfortable beds and a small fridge. A half hour stroll through the friendly neighbourhood and you on the other side of the island. The only thing worth a mention was the air conditioner was a bit noisy but we found the nights were cool enough without it.

Great quiet location.
Easily accessable to water taxis to go to any islands.
The food and Bloody Marys at Cosmic Crab are so great. We stayed 2 weeks and ate multiple meals here and neither of us had a bad meal.
You can't go wrong here with location, food and cocktails.

We stayed three days and the room was not cleaned once. We also dined in the restaurant and would not recommend the lobster. The accommodations themselves were very unique and quaint however seasoned.

Overpriced, rooms are old, no breakfast, owner can’t be bored to open the restaurant, so you need to take a taxi boat into town, or walk through the poor and dirty neighbourhood, definitely a no go at night

The place itself is beautiful and the owner is nice. I enjoyed the view, ac, the comfortable beds and room (i personally find hammocks more comfortable than the wooden chairs they have but it’s a personal preference).
The island is gorgeous but FULL of Sandflies which makes it impossible to be outside for more than five minutes. It made me literally SICK, im still coping with the aftermath.

Would absolutely recommend Cosmic Crab for your stay in Bocas del Toro! Opening up our door in the morning directly to the ocean was amazing, and the breakfast each morning was sooo delicious. The owners are always available on property and are super helpful in booking tours, making local recommendations, and making sure your stay is comfortable. They even refunded guests who could not make the trip due to protests that ocuurred Panama during our stay, which is highly commendable and respectable. They truly have the safety and comfort of the guest in mind. Be aware that the rooms on the water are small, as they only have a bed next to the bathroom with no door (only a curtain) separating the two, and that the sand flies can be vicious at night, and that the restaurant is only open on Friday-Sunday, but it's too good of a price and location to pass up! It's only $1 and literally a one-minute boat ride to get to the main island, and all the boat tours pick you up right at the dock of the hotel. We had such an enjoyable stay and miss it already!

Great location and fantastic staff, really helpful and welcoming but unfortunately rooms were very basic. Felt like a bit of a shed if I’m honest, sorry. Bed was not comfortable. Didn’t feel that private with the very thin curtains that you could see people walk past.

The views were amazing, the owners were amazing, the rooms were amazing. Everything (literally) was super-close and accessible. I could not be happier that this was the place we chose to stay at.

Cosmic Crab isn’t really a resort as such so don’t come expecting typical resort service and facilities. That said, the food and cocktails are excellent, the cabins are small but otherwise pretty great and the staff and owners are exceptionally helpful. It’s a great spot if you want to be close to the action in Bocas while getting to relax outside of it (it’s a $1 boat trip across to the main island). I’d happily recommend Cosmic Crab.
