La habitación posee ventilador, pero la ventana carece de mosquitero. Destaco la atención del dueño y la encargada que a pesar de estar haciendo refacciones no cancelaron la reserva y permitieron que nos alojáramos como únicos pasajeros en el hostel. Excelente la excursión a Cayo Zapatilla con Randall y Amir, el budín de Tita imperdible!!

Super chill

Really great vibe and very chill. Can't beat $1.50 beers and $1 happy hour special. Beers are on the \"honor system\" because as three part says when you arrive, \"you are family now.\"

Good for a quick stay

OK for the one night I needed. Owner was very helpful and friendly. Nice deck with plenty of hammocks. Conveniently located next to the water taxi station for access to the other islands. Soap in room but no towel ,but provided upon request.

On the water

This accommodation is not on the beach it is on the water. It's basic. Good if you want to do water sports.

Great Stay

Upon arrival, we were greeted by hotel staff and volunteers. They helped us out of the water taxi and getting our luggage to the reception area. We were given a brief summary of the hostel dos and don'ts right away. The hostel was clean, so was our room and bathroom.

Definitely a great experience!

Die Unterkunft ist sehr rustikal aber hat alles was man benötigt. Das Personal ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Die Küche ist immer sauber gewesen und der Outdoor Bereich mit den Hängematten war sehr schön. Man konnte Ausflüge deutlich günstiger vom Hostel aus buchen. Wir würden wiederkommen, da das Preis Leistungsverhältnis für bocas del toro sehr gut ist.
Geht unbedingt den Wizard Beach besuchen, er ist traumhaft!
