We stopped here for drinks twice on our vacation. The view from the ocean side of the restaurant is beautiful. Not sure about the food, what we saw looked good.Dear OttawaPixie,Thanks for your kind words. We're pleased you enjoyed the cocktails enough to return. We hope one day you'll be back in Bocas and find time to have some food. Thanks for mentioning our great view!

I read the reviews, was told by friends this was a must to visit, so we booked for 5 days, I think 2-3 days MAX. Very small area to navigate, variety of eating options, got bored fast. Spent evenings feeding street dogs and cats. The business community and owners who live here need to communicate and make a plan to: Clean up this town of garbage everywhere, have feeding stations installed in the Main Street to feed dogs (where visitors can contribute food as well)See pic.The repair and clean up of each property, a bit of paint goes a long way...right now...it feels like the whole place has given up! This affects your profit and reputation! Think about improvements and this could be an amazing place!We found the shop keepers too aggressive, let people see the choices...after 1 day we stopped looking in shops and businesses because of this!Limit the amount of garbage containers but most important...really limit the amount of plastics coming here. We will only return and recommend if changes occur. It is obvious these are issues here, as 1/2 the town has FOR SALE signs on...no one will buy here until changes happen.

This was a very pleasant restaurant with friendly staff. The food was 'ok' and the drinks were reasonably priced. They have some sun beds directly on the beach available for customers to use which were nice and quiet (unlike Starfish Beach around the corner).

Had the ceviche which had a unique twist with shoestring potatoes on top. Found it to be a bit tangy. Needed crackers to counter it. Lobster Mac and cheese was good. Wasn’t sure I would like plantains on top, but wasn’t bad. Pineapple juice was amazing!!!

Unbelievable, maybe one of the best meals of entire trip. We ended up at this little restaurant because our original choice had disappeared. Delicious, Caribbean and innovative with a Panamanian Indigenous chef/innovator. I had: Chicken breast wrapped in bacon and flaky pastry, covered in a smoked honey gorgonzola sauce. Hubby: grilled filet mignon served on a lava rock with herbs and sauce.

Reviewed By abbeywirth

This restaurant is definitely worth a visit while in Bocas.Fresh and delicious seafood on the menu. It was hard to pick, so we ate a lot and were not disappointed by anything we ate. Or drank for that matter, the wine was great and the margarita was tasty! The restaurant has a great view, so worth getting there before sunset, even if just for a drink out on the wharf. Even on a cloudy day it was great.They had live music too which was a bonus we weren’t expecting.

Reviewed By Melissa R

Skulls is nice because it is off of the beat and path but I was disappointed. For some reason I thought they would have cheap Panamanian food. It was all typical US food and expensive. A hamburger is cheaper at playa tortuga. The atmosphere reminded me of a biker bar in the states but on the beach. It just wasn’t my cupOf tea.
