Basic hotel, simple, but with everything you need. We had the suite with two rooms and a great view to the sea. One of the beds was broken, but replaced on request. We had an amazing lobster dinner! We rent a boat for a half day, great to come to deserted island in the pacific ocean.

After a few days in the mountains it was good to get back to the sea and what a great place to do it. The reception area, bar and retaurant are high on a point with great views back to Boca Chica and out to the other islands in the pacific. A short boat ride gets you to a scluded... More

This property has so much potential...very cool setting, open restaurant area, beautiful view; but, the room was dirty and in need of repair. I really don't have high expectations for luxury when traveling on a budget in Central America, but I do expect that my room will be clean and that the property will be reasonably well-maintained. This property is... More

I stayed here for two nights with my wife and two girls after 3 days in Casco Viejo in the city. It was a beautiful and restful retreat and we had a fantastic time just walking to the beaches, watching the howler monkeys, paddling to the surrounding islands, and enjoying the food - which is mostly excellent and remarkably reasonably...

We took the water taxi over to check out the island, do some hiking, have some lunch, etc... and we had a great visit. The views are amazing and there’s a little area where guests can just kick back in hammocks, enjoying the breeze. Chatted with the owner for a bit, he's very funny and knowledgeable, and then headed off... More

We stopped here a day prior during a beach outing and did not notice anything unpleasant. The restaurant and bar is in outside setting and was comfortable. The food was good. Not well kept but prices are good. The room was not clean but the bed comfortable. The beach is not great but you can get boats out to other... More

This was not what we were expecting. Our room was very dirty, the ceiling was falling down in our room, we walked in and the floor was covered in rodent feces. I know we didn't pay much but I would expect some cleanliness. At times there was no water and when there was it was cold only, no hot showers.... More

My first impression when arriving at this resort was that it was beautiful... the breeze flows through the restaurant and communal area swinging the hammocks. The view is gorgeous. I was somewhat disappointed that there was no beach to speak of at the Hotel but we did walk to one which wasn't too far off but it was nothing special.... More

We showed up in Boca Chica with no idea where we were going to stay. We made no reservations anywhere for our 7 day cross country road trip. We drove 7 hours from Panama City as this was our first stop before we followed the pacific coast line back to Panama City. We were greeted by Captain Jack Sparrow -... More

I don´t know why some people fuss about this place... I had a great stay. I stayed in the basic room, very clean, great beds and the view when you opened the door... fantastic! And all that for next to nothing. Can´t say anything about reservations because we just rocked up. Restaurant, bar etc. all in the open, they did... More
