Simply Beautiful!!
Reviewed By fsimon05Stayed at this beautiful place for my birthday escape . The views from the private balcony in the front and back for the bungalow are something out of a magazine. Hearing the different birds and sounds of nature in the near by rainforest was an experience you don't get when staying at a more busy accommodation. Imagine seeing dolphins swim pass you as you lay in your hammock over looking the water . The owner Pilar and her staff were very sweet and always willing to make sure that all of the guest were comfortable. Looking forward to returning soon.

Clean and big comfy bed
Reviewed By AnnieMack21A great little place if you want to stay in Bocas Town. Clean and with good aircon, we took a room overlooking the ocean as recommended by previous trip advisor guests. We knew that they were renovating and were out of the room during the day anyway, so it didn’t bother us. The hotel went out of their way to make sure we knew about the renovations. We were welcomed by Lacey and she was very warm and helpful as we arrived. She directed us to the supermarket and the water taxis and made recommendations for both. The bed was super comfy and huge. The view was ok but it’s a shame that they’ve built the new bar at the front as it does obstruct the view a bit and I imagine when it’s finished, it may end up being just as noisy as the street side. But Bocas town does seem to be a party town. The only disappointment we had, was when requesting a later check out. Lacey’s attitude changed and became frosty and she absolutely wouldn’t budge for even half an hour which put a bit of a dampener on the whole experience. But still a good place and nice and clean and not noisy when the doors were closed to the balcony.

Dirty beach
Reviewed By annewZ7592DVMy bf and I did a day visit to red frog beach as we were staying elsewhere on the island. I had read much about the luxurious resort and beach. However, it turned out to be awful. We paid $5 each for admission and hiked our way to the beach via the jungle path . Upon arriving what a disappointment. The beach was littered with sea and jungle debris and old washed up fishing nets and rope. The sand is dark. The chaise lounges are filthy and broken. The beach restaurant had absolutely no atmosphere and poor service from a disgruntled young man. I would not recommend bocas del toro at all but red frog was the worst.

A good place overall
Reviewed By kinoxlOur first day was a rough one. There was a large downpour ahead of and during our arrival. This knocked out some power and our room had a musty smell. We asked for a different room but were told they all would probably smell like that due to the humidity and rain, Our room was an adjoining room and we could hear the other guests at night. The pool was freezing and dirty. We thought about leaving. I'm glad we didnt. The musty smell went away the next day, the pool warmed and cleared up and we got creative to block noises from the other room. The front desk was very helpful including Yvette, who was there every day. She even assisted our son with a scrape on his foot. (she's a former pediatrician) The rooms are worn, but beds comfy. The pool is huge, but not used that much as people leave during the day. There's a volleyball court with soccer goals and that was a hit with our son. There's ping pong and you can also use the kayak's. Taxi's are plentiful outfront. It's a 5 minute ride into downtown and equal distance to restaurants north of the hotel. Wifi is strong throughout the hotel, which is a big plus. Breakfast buffet is good, but lunch and dinner service are slow. Happy hour is solid. Overall, if you're looking for a place outside of downtown that is spacious with a pool, lots of open spaces and good service this is a great option.
