Beter kan niet!
Pros:

Echt geweldig! Prachtige locatie, super mooie bungalows en een hele vriendelijke eigenaar die elke dag heerlijke ontbijtjes maakt. De prijs is echt top als je het vergelijkt met andere locaties. Meer dan genoten!

Cons:

Alles was perfect. Alleen een tip: goed smeren tegen insecten!

Adorei, valeu a experiência.
Pros:

Hotel muito bom, muito bem localizado, com todas as condições de limpeza. Fácil acesso através de táxi boat (1 dolar p/pessoa) partir de Bocas. Charmoso, com um design admirável. O quarto espaçoso, confortável e mantido impecavelmente limpo e arejado durante toda a nossa estadia. A casa de banho ampla e com um chuveiro excelente. Zona muito tranquila. A receção com atendimento descomplicado. Lugar decorado com muito bom gosto e com espreguiçadeiras donde era possível admirar a vista espetacular sobre o mar, ótimo para poder descansar e relaxar. A cerca de 15 minutos a pé da melhor praia da ilha.

Cons:

O pequeno-almoço simples e com pouca variedade. Apenas um restaurante aceitável nas proximidades. Todos os demais ficam todos em Bocas, pelo que é preciso apanhar um táxi boat. (*) Ter em atenção que os restaurantes encerram o atendimento para o jantar as 21:00hs.

Excelente, para repetir la experiencia.
Pros:

La ubicación. El encanto del lugar. La limpieza del entorno y el agua del mar.

Cons:

Quizás tener en cuenta que los lunes se hace difícil encontrar un lugar para cenar, pero se puede tomar una embarcación y en cinco minutos estas en la isla principal.

Cabañita sobre el mar con vistas espectaculares
Pros:

El desayuno es espectacular. Las vistas de la casita son brutales! Hemos pasado unos días magníficos! Es un alojamiento perfecto para vivir la vida tranquila y calmada de la isla. A 15 minutos andando se encuentra una playa espectacular, la típica de fotos de postal. A los alrededores también encuentras restaurantes y un supermercado.

Wunderbare Unterkunft mit toller Lage
Pros:

Unser Aufenthalt in der Unterkunft auf dem Wasser war einfach traumhaft. Die Lage war perfekt und bot eine besondere, ruhige Atmosphäre direkt am Wasser. Für 1 $ kommt man jederzeit mit dem Wasser Taxi innerhalb einerinute auf die "Hauptinsel" wo super viele Restaurants, Bars und Geschäfte sind. Aber auch auf der Insel selbst findet man Essensmöglichkeiten. Unser Gastgeber war außergewöhnlich freundlich, herzlich und jederzeit hilfsbereit, sodass wir uns von Anfang an sehr willkommen gefühlt haben. Insgesamt eine wunderbare Erfahrung, die wir jederzeit wiederholen würden.
Liebe

Nice place if you want to be close to Bocas town.
Pros:

We stayed in the Deluxe Family Room. This is not overwater, but just on the side of the land with a porch that extends over the water. I specifically chose this property and room as we needed space for two parents and two teenagers. The cabin has two bedrooms (one queen and one with two twins). The lower level has the bathroom (small but fine) and a small living room/kitchen area. There is no AC on the lower level, but that was ok. You can easily get a water taxi to Bocas town for $1/person day $2/person night. The breakfast is cooked to order, which was good. The owner was accommodating for our minor requests.

Cons:

There is a lot of noise from the water taxis and from Aqua nightclub.

Keep in mind that Carenero has *a lot* of tiny sand flies and we all got bitten up (even with using bug spray). So bringing insecticide is a must.
