Guest Reviews
- DeeAnne (10/5): - Beautiful ocean view and Alfuronso, the host, was so nice and helpful. Rooms were clean and comfortable.
- Didier (10/5): Séjour très cool. - Bon rapport qualité prix.
Très bien situé.
Cuisine fonctionnelle.
Grande Terrasse commune sur l'eau très sympa.
Water taxi sur place avec possibilité d'excursions et connexion directe depuis Bocas.
En résumé un excellent choix.
- Ibai (10/5): - Muy buena experiencia en el alojamiento y con todo el personal. Lo recomendaría totalmente.
- Erin (10/5): - N/A
- Eberhard (8/5): - .
- Sheily (10/5): - Tranquila el propietario muy amable y servicial
- Oriol (8/5): - Buena habitación mediana con AC y baño. La cocina está okay. Zona común es grande y con un bar.
Hay bastante ruido alrededor del hostal con música y gente trabajando en muelles con lo que puede dificultar el sueño.
- Emilie (8/5): Une bonne adresse - Localisation parfaite dans le village de Old Bank. Hôtel sur pilotis à l'ambiance très cool et sereine, comme un air de paradis!
Le personnel et le capitaine Andrew sont adorables et proposent de bonnes excursions.
Dommage, cette ile pourrait être parfaite si elle n'était pas si sale :-(
- martine (10/5): Lieu enchanteur - Séjour de 4 nuits fantastiques. Chambre très simple mais lieu magique face a la mer. Literie correcte . Personnel sympathique. Des excursions sont proposées.
Bien situé dans old bank. Point negatif …. Eau froide pour la douche
- Julien (10/5): - Top. Cadre super et bonne ambiance.
- GisA (8/5): Tolle Unterkunft mit kleinen Mängeln - Das Hostel ist toll gelegen. Direkt über dem Wasser. Wir hatten das de Luxe_Zimmer, mit dem wir zufrieden waren. Die Gemeinschaftsküche ist super durchdacht, die Ausstattung lässt allerdings zu wünschen übrig bzw. könnte teilweise erneuert werden. Andere Strände bzw. Orte auf der Insel sind teilweise nur mit dem Boot erreichbar.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - La ubicación era muy buena, la cocina estaba bien equipada y el personal amable. Podrían limpiar un poco la entrada trasera que daba mucha pena y muy mala imagen.
- Simone (2/5): Avoid - Just appalling and very very overpriced
- Nuno (8/5): - Hotel de ilha, boa relação preço qualidade. Oferece serviço de cozinha partilhada.
- Matthew (10/5): 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."
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Loved the staff and convenient to colon. Simple and clean.
- David (8/5): Clean, comfortable and friendly - Friendly place, great service, comfortable room. Would stay here again.
- Verified traveler (8/5): 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.
- Verified traveler (6/5): 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.
- Nicole (10/5): 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!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Beautiful view to the sea and relaxed lounge - It has a nice view to the ocean, has its own deck, very relaxed lounge with hammocks, it’s very clean, and the host are really nice.
