Impossible to leave… tooo Nice place, atmosphère in this just one year old hotel ! You will appreciate the deck ( ponton in French ), the music, the vieW, the rooms ( I was in a dorm, perfect ), the yoga classes very close from the hotel , and if you wish to add some nights to the other bambuda ( bambuda lodge), your stay in Bocas will be full of different aspects and activities !

Great staff! Enrique and his family are great hosts and are actively trying to make Bastimentos island an even better destination for visitors. Atmosphere is the nicest we had in Bocas! Wizard is one of the most beautiful and relaxing beaches in the archipelago (they are building a new track that should make it much easier to reach it). Big room with a nice air conditioner

Location, and most of all the staff. Thomas is a great host. Super friendly, has some good tips and helped us out a lot as we were allowed to leave our bulky bags and bicycles when visiting the other islands.

The location is nice, near center of the town, and it is convenient to go to the central city. Surrounding shops, restaurants, bars are plentiful, locals live. The room facilities are sufficient. The water pressure was small and not very warm.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location and if you like to party it is the perfect spot to meet new people. Also, everyday new activities and you should make sure to be at the Filthy Friday party (everyone around is coming and the whole hostel is packed!).

    The location is perfect, just one min away from Bocas town. The hostel got a lot of potential, keep in mind is a party hostel so it's very loud, but if you are looking to meet new people this is the right place.
