“Great place”
The view is amazing. The owner showed us around, he invited us for a coffee and we had a great conversation in the morning. I would go again, lovely family business and I wish them all the best.

“Nice place, friendly English speaking owner”
It was one of the few Hostals near Almirante so we could drive to Panama in one day. Owner drove us up the steep hill twice. Very kind

“Reliable and conforting. Caring people.”
The hosts were super nice. They were super available for anything, such as driving us up there in their pickup van, when we said we didn't had food for dinner, she offered to cook us a meal for a reasonable price. Everything we needed, they were there to help. Also they were considerate to guarantee we could get a "colectivo" bus when we left (it was easter friday and we were not certain they were running). Really cool place.

Perfect for our needs! We were looking for a one night stay near Almirante to be able to do the Oreba chocolate tour in the morning and take a water taxi to Bocas. The road to the house is not suitable for regular cars but we were picked up by the main road and driven to the house so we didn't have to climb the hill. Patricia, a woman living at the property, cooked a fabulous chicken dinner for us for $10 per person (home made lemonade included). We met her young son, dogs and chickens. All in all, it was a very pleasurable night.

The owner was very friendly, the view from the spot was perfect and it had everything we needed. It was kind of unique experience to be there. Great for stopping by before going to the ferry to Bocas del Toro.

the place is up on a small hill. i almost gave up on this place the moment i found that the road was not paved. we decided to give it a try with our suv and that was a good decision. the room was clean, the view was fantastic, and the owner was friendly. the facilities were not perfect but that is the case for everyone's life. if you want to experience local life and natural environment, this is the palce.

A most warm welcome on arrival. It's a spacious cabin with all the luxury you need. The garden is stunning and the view over the sea is even more spectacular. As a bonus there were sloths in the trees!

“Jungle home”
Amazing owner and a great and beautiful place to stay for example before leaving to bocas. About 15 till 20 minutes from the ferry. The view and the apartment was really nice and everything was there what you need.

“You have to stay there! Best views with the best hosts!”
The location is just fantastic (THE VIEW!) and Jorge and his family are the perfect hosts who go out of their way to make you feel at home. We really enjoyed our stay there, it is such a relaxing place. The cabin had everything we needed for our stay and Pati was kind enough to prepare a very delicious dinner for us one night. Jorge was a great help with booking our onward bus and even dropped us off for the very early morning departure (THANKS!). I wish we could have stayed longer!

“tropical forests in Mi refugio”
Great accommodation, great apartment, owner a nice guy. A bit more difficult to access for 4WD only. Absolutely great is the seating area in front of the apartment (if you have a table and chairs there).

“Best place to stay before going to the Ferry to Isla Colón”
The view from this place are absolutely amazing. Jorge are a very nice man what life the dream. Be aware ts a place in the Jungle with a fresh Coconut in your hands. The road up there are a bit challenging so its better to contact Jorge via whats app and exchange the positions. Than you arrive on this place there are 2 parking slots there you can park. If you walk up some meter up the hill you can contact Jorge via Whats app (Phone reception). Once you contacted him, he will than come down with his vehicle to bring you up to his place. Please support this Man he deserves it.
