"Sobresale la limpieza del lugar y sobretodo la amabilidad del personal, tienen mesa de billar que es un súper plus, también tienen habitaciones privadas con baño privado"

"Place is not ideal if you want to have a quiet night "

"I like the nature around the area, fun place."

"The beach is tiny but pretty. Accommodations are clean, restaurant is good, and staff is friendly. Bring your rental car so you have some options. 20 min walk to starfish beach. "

"Great cozy rooms with beautiful balcony"

"Decent place to stay outside of the town center. Pretty clean place, a house with a family, not a traditional hostel. Hit and miss whether it will be a party hostel or not, depends on the current guests. 11am check out means leave the property, can not leave your bags there or stay inside, you must leave. Ive traveled the world extensively and never heard that before. Not even from hotels. I personally would stay somewhere else. Breakfast was $8. Extremely expensive in my opinion. "

"Bad service front desk did not know how to charge by credit card no running water for an hour later of check in no toilet paper 2 dlls to rent a towel bad,bad,bad experience no drills understand but for the same money chose diferent place"

"We had a great time at the Twin Fin Hostel. It’s a really nice place, perfectly positionated on the island, with really a fiendly and accommodating staff. Thanks a lot to them !"

"La estancia fue buena y el lugar es limpio y adentrado en el mar, desde donde vimos delfines. La gente del pueblo es un poco ruidosa y nos dio la sensación de que están como enfadados todo el día. En la zona tiene una playa gratis para la Red Frog tienes de gastarte 10$seguros."

"Looked this place!!! We originally booked 1 night and ended up staying longer. Wifi works throughout the property. Swimming pool is an added bonus. House is gorgeous. Chris the host was amazing and gave us some great tips for a day out to estrella beach. Highly recommend "

"The wifi didnt work the last day. There was nos staff besides this one lady that cleaned the house. The hallways to get into the house was very dark and sketchy. Also this place was a bit far from the town."

"Leidi, was helpful at check in with a bright, cheerful smile, and provided with a walking map of the area.."

"This is a great place to stay if you need privacy and tranquility. There’s a pool in the back to use and a small food market close by. It’s nothing fancy but very well kept with a great, comfortable bed, hot water and privacy. "

"A real guest house in Bocas with a homely feel. Only 10 mins max to the action but so nice to come back to peace and quiet and the wsves across the road gently splashing away. Breakfast is superb and plentlyful. Everything cooked to order and tastes that way too.I find this place fits my needs and budget perfectly."

"We had a short but wonderful stay! The two concierges, Sergio and Stephanie could not have been more friendly and welcoming and both were extremely helpful in addressing every question and need we had. When we arrived, there was an issue with our room but they quickly addressed it offering a free upgrade and amenities to ensure our stay was as good if not better than what we had originally planned. Everything was lovely and we all had a wonderful time (family of 5) "

"The staff was amazing. The food was good. The room was beautiful. I stayed in one of the above water bungalows. The only downfall is there is very little to do nearby. You are pretty much stranded on this island unless you arrange some kind of transport or tour. If you’re looking for a vacation where you can totally check out from the world this is it. If you’re looking for a place to do lots of activities, this is not. Management took care of everything I asked for, including an unexpected early arrival. "

"This was a our first stay and we really enjoyed ourselves. You can walk to multiple restraunts without getting a water taxi, when you need a water taxi it's a short ride. The breakfast menu was great. If you're a light sleeper you may want to bring ear plugs. The boat traffic can start early. Overall was a wonderful experience."

"This was the perfect ecolodge on the water! Maria, who owns and manages the lodge, always went over and above for our family to arrange day trips/boat rides to town and provided amazing travel guidance. We needed to charge our phones at reception but it was a small price to pay for a beautiful and unique Panama experience with great rooms and gorgeous views. We ate our breakfasts and lunches on site but preferred the restaurants in town for dinner. Our teens loved it and want to go back! Highly recommend! "

"This property is a gem! We stayed a week in December and had an all around lovely stay. The bungalows were clean and so relaxing. Everyone on the staff was friendly and went out of their way to accommodate the guests. We went out several times on excursions with Alejandro and had A experiences. Don't bother booking water excursions in town. You can just book thru the resort. In December it was still raining most days, which made the water at the resort murky. However, Alejandro took us to clear locations for amazing snorkeling! We will definitely return. "
