The staff was great! Had a great time there. Will definitely be back!

Staff treatment

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.

I had a great stay at the cosmic crab, 5/5, Great location and great views of the surroundings. Staff was friendly and took time to explain all the services and hotel guidelines. Anyone who wants to have agreat time in Bocas should consider CC

Zero beach and/or swimming area. Garbage in the water. Cute bungalow over the water

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!

We stayed on a waterfront cabin. We stayed here for a night and did’t arrive until sundown. Our cabin was quite warm and musty from the dampness and lack of AC until we arrived. The design is carried throughout in the furnishings inside. Waking up to the water views in the morning was magical. Three things I wish were attended to: A plumbing smell which could be combatted with air fresheners. Only give the towels once guests arrive (as they were musty from the warm damp room before arrival). Complimentary bug spray/cream since we got attacked by sandflies and one of us reacted very poorly a day later without knowing. The family that owns the property is lovely and keeps that pot of complimentary coffee nicely filled in the morning (a nice cup to enjoy with the views).

Very nice property and friendly staff. We enjoyed our stay and enjoyed the wonderful food at the restaurant.

We stayed four days and there was no room service. We had to put the toilet paper in the trash can and it was never emptied. The beds were never changed or made. There is also no sandy beach around the hotel.

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.

Great location and has AC! However, the restaurant is closed Mon-Thu which is inconvenient and the water pressure is basically non existent. For $100/night, expected a little more, but overall a good experience.

We had the hotel to ourselves - very peaceful and we stayed in cabins right up to the water per hostess suggestion which was wonderful - great views and lovely sea breezes all the time

Joan went out of her way to help. June barman excellent. Resort was just coming out of covid so we wish them luck. Martin and Russ.

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.

Nice place to stop along the highway between Puerto Viejo and San Jose. Very friendly staff, great breakfast included. Air-conditioned and clean rooms.

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.

We were in Bocas Del Toro for one night and I feel as though we made the wrong choice staying here. The natural setting of the hotel is lovely, but the experience of staying here felt more like being a student at a summer camp than a guest in a hotel. The owner felt overbearing. Not good vibes. The restaurant is also a lovely setting over the water but, unfortunately, more than half of what we ordered wasn’t available. Out of many ingredients for food and cocktails. Also, Expedia says that breakfast is included but when we arrived we found that it is in fact not included. Would return to this part of Panama for sure, but would choose to stay elsewhere.Oh, and two more things. No hot water (at all) and is situated very near some noisy neighbors or a club who played super loud music until 330am. Our two daughters, 4 and 5 couldn’t sleep. Nor could we.
