    My favorite place to stay in Bocas.. Jaguar and his staff are super friendly and helpful… The 3 hour happy hour is great, the two kitchens are greatly needed when it’s busy and the location over the water is perfect for relaxing in the hammocks…...

    The owner was always available for assistance and there was always someone at the front desk/bar with a smile. The lounge/kitchen area with tables and hammocks overlooking the ocean and islands was such a nice place to relax.

    Prices and location were great, I did an amazing tour of bioluminescent algae (which was 50% the price of places I found online).
