This place is a dream come true! Over the water, beautiful space. Fabulous breakfasts. Easy access to the main island...just wave down a water taxi from the dock. We saw so many fish, eels, stingrays, etc. right from our balconies! Best fish and chips ever at Bibi's, a short walk up the beach! Only downfall was the little no-see-ums. Not anyone's fault. Just bring bug repellent! Loved this place!!

We liked our stay! The houses are very nice, directly over the water, each house is with its own terrace. Breakfast is delicious. People are very friendly. There was one restaurant opened in the area and we visited it every evening, the dinner was wonderful. Or you can take a boat for 1 USD and in 5 minutes you are on the main island where you can find everything - restaurants, supermarkets, tourist information. If we come to Bocas one more time, Faro del Colibri will be surely the first choice!

“We had a great 3 nights here, relaxing, swimming. walking with excellent restaurants near by .”
The location was excellent just over the water from the main town.1 minute boat ride. The views from the overwater bungalow, across to the other islands was stunning.

Cute little bungalow over the water - we stayed for one night and it was a nice little getaway from the mainland- privacy but close and easy to get water taxis elsewhere - enjoyed our stay and they offer breakfast in the morning for all the guests

“Cute place but very outdated”
- The location is excellent - The idea of the houses on water is really cool - The views from the houses - Calmer and prettier island than the main island
