La ubicación era muy buena, la cocina estaba bien equipada y el personal amable. Podrían limpiar un poco la entrada trasera que daba mucha pena y muy mala imagen.

Señora Simone, si el lugar fuera tan espantoso desde el primer dia hubiera cancelado la reserva y se hubiera ido a otro lugar se quedaron por 4 noches y nunca se quejo de la habitacion,usted dice que es muy caro nadie puede ir a su pais y decir cuanto van a pagar por los tours o lo toma o lo deja y el tour era de 25 dolares por persona y se lo dimos a 15 dolares cada uno por los problemas que tuvimos por el tiempo aunque nosotros no controlamos eso. Saludos y que tenga hermoso dia.

Super chill
Really great vibe and very chill. Can't beat $1.50 beers and $1 happy hour special. Beers are on the "honor system" because as three part says when you arrive, "you are family now."

OK for the one night I needed. Owner was very helpful and friendly. Nice deck with plenty of hammocks. Conveniently located next to the water taxi station for access to the other islands. Soap in room but no towel ,but provided upon request.

Great Stay
Upon arrival, we were greeted by hotel staff and volunteers. They helped us out of the water taxi and getting our luggage to the reception area. We were given a brief summary of the hostel dos and don'ts right away. The hostel was clean, so was our room and bathroom. Definitely a great experience!

Tolle Unterkunft mit kleinen Mängeln
Das Hostel ist toll gelegen. Direkt über dem Wasser. Wir hatten das de Luxe_Zimmer, mit dem wir zufrieden waren. Die Gemeinschaftsküche ist super durchdacht, die Ausstattung lässt allerdings zu wünschen übrig bzw. könnte teilweise erneuert werden. Andere Strände bzw. Orte auf der Insel sind teilweise nur mit dem Boot erreichbar.

Une bonne adresse
L hôtel est simple , bien situé au centre du village mais il est bruyant à cause du fait d être proche de l embarcadère et des va ret vient incessants des bateaux à moteur . La structure bois simple peut difficilement être efficace aussi contre les clients bruyants ( enfants qui courrent , personne qui parle fort ). Sinon , la literie est bonne . Le cadre , et l'environnement sont très jolies, le personnel est sympathique , l accès à la cuisine un vrai plus . Une bonne adresse.

Sehr gute Unterkunft direkt auf dem Meer
Wir übernachteten im private Room A/C mit eigenem Bad. Es war hier alles super und die zu unserer Reisezeit deutschen Angestellten waren sehr nett und jederzeit hilfsbereit. Das Hostel ist auf Stelzen ins Meer gebaut sodass in allen Zimmern das meeresrauschen zu hören. Es gibt nur kaltes Wasser in der Dusche was aber in Bocas del Toro ganz normal zu sein scheint. man braucht aber wegen des heißen Wetters auch kein warmes Wasser. alles in allem passt hier alles und die Unterkunft ist sehr zu empfehlen.

Good cheap and clean hostel with friendly service
El Jaguar oli hyvä hostelli todella edulliseen hintaan. Palvelu oli ystävällisiä ja apuja ja neuvoja liittyen lähialueen tutkailuun, ravintoloihin ym sai varmasti pyytäessä. Huone oli siisti ja jaettu kylpyhuonekin ihan hyvässä kunnossa. Yhteinen keittiö- ja oleskelutila oli toimiva ja maisemat mahtavat. Tunnelma oli rento ja baarin juomat halpoja. Majoituksesta ei siis jäänyt mitään hampaankoloon, mutta itse saari Isla Bastimento ei meille avautunut. Paikka oli todella likainen ja luonnollisesti kaikki mereenmenevät ulosteet ym jätteet haisivat huoneessammekin. "Kylä" vaikutti turvattomalta, emmekä siellä mielellään liikkuneet pimeän aikaan. Ganjaa koitettiin vähän väliä myydä puoliväkisin. :D Venetaksin sai kuitenkin helposti muille saarille ja suosittelemmekin touria Caya Zapatilloon tai muille paratiisisaarille. Yleisesti Bocasin aluuella oli melkoinen rahastuksen maku ja varsinkin tullessa järkytti venetaksin hinta, kun sen väitettiin vakiona olevan Bocas Townin ja Isla Bastimenton välillä 5 $ per pää vaikka todellisuudessa se olis 2-3 $. En keksi syitä, miksi suosittelisin Bocasin aluetta kenellekään, mutta kyllä siellä ilmeisesti jokin oma viehätyksensä on, kun se suosituin turistikohde Panamassa on.
