We stayed at the Tree Cabin room and I enjoyed laying on the hammock on the deck and listening to the sounds of the birds and monkeys of the jungle. There is no AC but you don't need it in this room as you get plenty of breeze and have a fan in the room. Mosquitos were not a problem either. Rooms are super cute. Dave lets you use the bicycles for free to ride around town and the included breakfasts were delicious!! We always looked forward to starting our day eating breakfast and drinking coffee and smoothies on the breakfast deck. I wish we never had to leave!

  Our stay was incredible and we would recommend this spot to anyone who is looking for a great location outside of the business of town! We were immersed in nature,... read more with tucans and howler monkeys right off of our balcony! Waking up to the sound of rain some mornings and animals every morning and then throwing on a pot of coffee is the best way to start a day! There’s an excellent wave about a 3 minute walk away too which makes it very ideal for anyone who surfs! Directly below is a place you can buy surfboards, have one custom shaped, or have repairs done too so that’s convenient! I would suggest renting an atv or bicycle to explore further on the island as apposed to taking cabs. This is a very central location for surfers especially. Dave was extremely accommodating to us and he’s a hard guy not to like! If you have any questions I’m sure he can answer them for you. You really feel like you’re on vacation there!! More

We appreciated the fact that our room had a fridge and a functional kitchen. There was no AC but it was not a problem because of the wonderful ocean breeze!
We saw so much wildlife, there was a monkey family in the trees right in front of our deck. We even got to see a baby monkey! So cute! The location was perfect, we were able to walk to the beach and get food easily and we biked to town several times with the free bikes.
David, our host was great! He helped us arrange whatever we needed and gave wonderful recommendations. The free breakfast was delicious! We had yogurt with fruit, smoothies and hot breakfast every morning to start our day! My favorite was the Elvis Presley French Toast, a must try! Menu was different every day which kept it fun as well! I would highly recommend this property to anyone that wants a fun beach meets jungle adventure on Bocas! We will definitely be back!
