“Paradise in Bocas!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 May 2013 via mobile

We spent 5 days at the Garden and were thrilled with every aspect of our stay. Kipp, Kelly and Matt went out of their way to make sure we were looked after and had everything we needed. The small size of the hotel made it a very personal experience and the fact that it's removed from the noise of Bocas... More

“An awesome experience!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 April 2013

My husband and I travelled to Bocas for two nights. We were so pleased with our stay - we went kyaking, fed the fish at night and got a lot of relaxation in. Most of all the company was great. Thank you Kipp, Zues and Evelyn for being wonderful hosts and great dinner partners. We will definitely be back once... More

“Wonderful and Relaxing”

My wife and I recently spent 4 nights here and had a wonderful time. Kip, Steve and Karen were great hosts, and always making sure we had anything we needed. They also made sure that any excursions were arranged, and made us dinner reservations in town. The property is wonderful, we spent a lot of time next to the pool.... More

“A very personal paradise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 April 2013

My friend and I stayed at GOE for 2 nights in the 'Bay View' cabin. We were looking for somewhere isolated, where we could relax and explore by ourselves. GOE was more than we'd hoped... we had an unforgettable time and regretted not staying longer. Steve, Karen, Kipp and Zeus were genuine, warm hosts and really helped us feel at... More

“Romantic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 March 2013

The managers Steve and Karen were very helpful and interesting to hear them talk about their life in Bocas. Evelyn was a gem, she is traveling the world on her own and was incredible to talk to her about her experiences. The food was very good and reasonable if you choose not to venture off the isla. We actually saw... More

“A great stay for some peace and quiet.......”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 March 2013

Awesome getaway....... Highly recommend "The Garden of Eden" for a peaceful weekend away if you are in Bocas Del Toro. Kip, the owner and Steve and Karen "The Management" are excellent hosts and make you feel extremely welcome (including Zeus, the pet dog...). The Hotel is isolated on a small section of Solarte, awesome views from the bedrooms overlooking the... More

The room we stayed in was very comfortable and clean. The food, all three meals were fabulous. The drinks prepared by Kip are excellent! And if you are a dog person, Zeus is a very entertaining dog, full of energy and playful! Kip does an excellent job of making you feel at home and is great to have conversations with... More

Enjoy the stillness of the Island, hopefully meet interesting... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
We are a small private island Bed and Breakfast located in a tropical setting of Bocas Del Toro, Panama. The resort offers a swimming pool, kayaks, snorkeling, game room with pool table, restaurant and bar. Don't go to the Caribbean to just rent a room, come here where you can rent an island. We can accommodate up to 10 adults very comfortably. Sorry no children. Close enough to Bocas to shop yet far enough to be as private as you want to be. ... more   less
