Hostal Bocas Tropical Paradise

The hostel has a family atmosphere, perfect to rest. The room was clean and had more than expected for a hostel (minibar, microwave, private bathroom).

The sky was cloudy this weekend 😅🌥️

nothing. there is literally nothing good to say about this place. i have no idea why it’s on booking.

where do I begin? The area itself is grotty and out of the way of anything that is going on in focus town. You can’t really flag a taxi down from that area and to walk in the heat is extremely uncomfortable-as we found out. On entry there were cockroaches in reception, and when we went into the room the smell of mould was almost unbearable. Unfortunately we had paid for two full nights at this hotel and weren’t in the position to just leave immediately. I got in touch with booking and told them about the conditions and was able to have one night refunded. However, we did end up staying in the room for one night and the mould that covered the fridge and bathroom left us both extremely breathless and feeling very poorly the morning after. As mentioned previously I have no idea why this property is on Booking.com as I wouldn’t even let my dog spend the night here. If you have any sense (I booked in a rush and didn’t read!) Read the reviews. They all say very similar things for good reason.
