  I stayed in the private cabin and it's very very good. the mosquito net is in well state, the breakfast are amazing. We still keep doing it at home. We... read more ate tacos a couple of time and they are good and not very expensive.

We use the bikes that David has and it helped a lot to go to the beach or the center.

It's better to take taxis on the road as they are cheaper. Or try to catch the bus on the way, otherwise, it's 5e per person from the place itself. From the road it's possible to play 4 or 3.5.

The beach in front is a bit harsh to swim but taking the bikes and 5 min away, you can find very nice beaches. Better than staying in Bocas directly.

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!
