It was exactly what the reviews say, great town and ao easy to get around on water taxis. Loved the floating bar nearby too. We.left a few shorts and they sent them to us immediately in Panama City, great customer service.

2/10 Poor

The staff was truly some of the nicest people in the world. It hurts that the hotel itself was such a bad experience, because judgement on the people alone they were wonderful. Unfortunately, the hotel itself was not what apparently it used to be. There are roaches in one of the buildings (in one of our rooms), the showers were peeling or moldy with bad water pressure. The sheets on the bed were not always clean and the air-conditioning barely worked. The key cards to the doors easily demagnetized, and some rooms just wouldn’t open in general. We ended up having to get three different rooms (only 2 nights). The first room switch was because the staff couldn’t get us into the room, and the second switch was because we had roaches in the room all night.

2/10 Poor

I had a confirmed, non-refundable reservation for this property. The day before I was to arrive at the property, I get a notification saying that my reservation was cancelled, and instead it was rebooked for 3 days later. I couldn't believe that the resort and Expedia would do such a thing without my knowledge or consent. I wasn't even going to be in the area in 3 days, so for them to cancel a non-refundable, confirmed reservation and then willy-nilly rebook me for a night 3 days later without even asking me was appalling. Expedia should not allow its hotels to rebook guests at their own discretion, without the guest even knowing about it let alone agreeing to it. Just appalling. It ruined my vacation, since not only did I have to find another lodging for the night that they cancelled, I was stressed about them charging me for a non-refundable night that I didn't even book!

Quaint cabanas over the water. Great first time Bocas experience for the family. Restaurants within walking distance, swimmable beaches, sunrise out the back door.
