As we had done our homework about the location this hotel was everything we expected and didn't disappoint. As it has only been open a few months the room was very clean and fresh and of ample size. There was a nice choice of breakfasts and dinner items and a well stocked bar. We loved listening to the waves and wildlife noises and not much else to disturb the tranquility of being in the forest/beach location. Also very close was a good beach bar for a change of food and scenery.

Fantastic relatively new Hotel, incredible grounds, a lush green paradise. Rooms are great, Spa is out of this world. 2 pools, one by the sea and one in the middle of the jungle at the spa. Amazing. The sunrises are incredible, the sun comes up, surfers catching the first waves … what a sight.

LOVED our stay. Perfect location for a bit of peace and quiet. Pipa beach restaurant and a beautiful beach is a 5 min walk away. Carlo & his wife prepared us an amazing breakfast spread every morning and we're so sweet. Can't wait to come back and visit in BOQUETE 🩷 Thank you again!!

The place is amazing, it's a real hidden gem in the jungle of Isla Bastimentos. We were hesitant if we should stay at Isla Colon or go to Bastimentos because we didn't know how the transport between the island works, but it's really easy to get there and you can go to the beaches for a couple of dollars. Pierre and Manon were amazing hosts, they helped us with everything we needed and you can see they're doing everything they can fit their guests. The breakfasts and dinners were really tasty. The cabins are well equipped, modern and spacious. We were a bit worried about the lack of hot water but it was completely fine, I think we wouldn't use it even if it was available. All in all, the best place we stayed in during our trip to Panama, go there without any hesitation! Ask for cabin number 5 for the best view.

Had a great stay here. The owner sent an information brochure in advance about the accomodation and the island, really super! If you worry its far from the center…don’t. Its a bit over 10 minutes by taxi and only costs 2 dollars. In return you get an accomodation thats brand new and clean, including a nice bar/kitchen at the pool! The town Bocas itself is a bit messy in Jan 2025 with open roads/construction and a lot of dirt and water so it was a blessing to stay here. The bungalow itself has everything you need: good shower and bed, AC, etc. and is nicely decorated. Certainly recommend this place!
