Nice Italian managers. Very helpful, even brought me by car to take the ferry to another island. Also, the first time I stayed there they gave me a free upgrade to an apartment. A plus is that there's a kitchen for the guests en rooms with AC. Good price-quality ratio.

The best host ever, he helped me with everything even helped to organized my trip to the bribri community as I didn’t want to do it in a touristy way just wanted to connnect with the locals so he introduced me to one of his friends who is happened to be bribri. The accommodation itself is good for 2 nights, you have what you need, but no luxury. It will be renovated soon.

Nice quiet location, Bocas town can be pretty noisy but this place avoids that while only being 5 minutes walk from the centre

Nice, basic accommodation.

Nice location close enough to the main strip. An older property, but maintained satisfactory. A basic private room. It did the job for a few day visit to Bocas. A friendly hostel environment.

Excellent!

Unique vibe at Surfari Bocas. Lovely owners, clean and fully equipped kitchen. Cute decorated rooms with private bathroom. Location couldn’t be better! 5 min walk from center of Bocas Town but still quiet enough to not disturb at night. Price was very reasonable for everything this place offered. Will come back :)
