“A beautiful corner of paradise”
A beautiful corner of unspoilt paradise, with monkeys and birds in the grounds and a very calming atmosphere. The owners Sharon, Steve and Mark were super friendly and helpful with everything, and ensured we enjoyed our stay. Would have loved to stay more!

“Heartwarming stay in a beautiful setting.”
Kathe and Martin are the most friendly hosts we could ask for. They are helpful, very kind to our kids and know the area very well. Dama provided the best breakfast we had in Panama. It was a perfect start to our day.

“Lovely stay”
Breakfast each morning was amazing and every day we got something different, selfmade by Damaris. Katy organized everything for us, she booked all the trips and was just an angel. We had the best stay and loved also the house, with the garden and the pool.

“Great B&B to relax in Bocas”
Great location a few kilometers away from Bocas town. Easily accessible by bicycle or taxi. The house is very nice, with a big tropical garden and a very nice pool to relax. Breakfast was delicious, with a beautiful view of the garden. Very peaceful at night with a nice breeze. Didn't need AC. Marc and Sharon were very nice hosts.

“Very cute B&B with a beautiful garden and pool, and well located on the island”
Breakfast was great! The garden is very pretty and the accommodation itself as well. The location is very good, just a few minutes by taxi to Bocas Town which has a lot to offer. The pool is great and there is a small beach opposite the B&B. Kathe and Martin were great hosts. We were not feeling well during our stay unfortunately (nothing to do with the location) and they mad sure we could still enjoy our stay. Stayed here for 3 nights, but we recommend to stay at least for 4 nights since there is so much to do and to see in the area.

“B&B with a beautiful garden and lovely breakfasts.”
We loved the nice, big apartment we got. With a big porch with chairs, hammocks and a dining table. They have a garden which looks like a jungle, we saw beautiful birds and even got to see a howler monkey. Every morning Sharon and a lovely lady from Bocas made us a delicious breakfast. Our little boy got spoiled too by getting his favorite fruits. They have a nice pool where you can cool off.
