Tranquil jungle-beach oasis!
Pros:

What an amazing experience! From the ease of the check-in process, to the special request item (i.e., champagne) to start our anniversary off, and not to mention the wonderful staff, meals, room, and breathtaking views of the beach and sounds of the jungle! Chef's kiss - perfection!

Cons:

Wish we could have stayed longer!

Lovely and paradisiacal. A place to return to.
Pros:

The Hummingbird is a gem. With beautiful and comfortable rooms, our stay was peaceful and relaxing. The property has been carefully planned and is well maintained, with lush tropical gardens and access to the jungle, where frequent sightings of monkeys, sloths and colorful birds are quite amazing. The pool is nicely surrounded by tropical trees and flower plants with hummingbirds visible from time to time.
Key to The Hummingbird are the very attentive hosts, Betsy and Gary, and their fantastic staff. The restaurant is a big plus, with delicious food and a great bar.
The beach is a few steps in front of the property with soothing sounds from sea waves.

Great hotel for a relaxing break to enjoy nature - highly recommend.
Pros:

Our stay at the Hummingbird was perfect, Gary and Betsy were great hosts. The room was big, clean, comfortable and set in the gardens with nature all around, which we could enjoy from our decking area. The Hummingbird is situated out of town in a beautiful and quiet location with direct access to the beach and able to hear the relaxing sound of waves breaking from our room. A different high quality breakfast on offer everyday, served by a friendly and attentive team.

Cons:

We liked everything

So dissapointing : we booked for 4 nights , stayed 3 nights as we couldn't find flights earlier
Pros:

some wild nature, saw few birds and one agouti, large room, terrasse, had one dinner ok; wild large beach nearby for walking, unfortunately no swimming because of high strong waves, staff ok except Olivia who hates guests

Cons:

Property in the middle of nowhere, almost all neighborhood for sale or under construction, basic room, no coffee maker, no hair drier and other restrictions in the name of eco-friendly, but plastic bottle for water or metal bottle for sale, seamed to me everything just cheap, little natural light in the room, no activities, abandoned pavilion with ancient broken books and games, small garden cannot walk beyond; the most unpleasant was Olivia - the one in charge there, owner? - who made us feel unwanted ( even we didn't complain at all); still, she didn't forget to calculate the tip

Very friendly atmosphere from the hotel owners, surrounded by beautiful nature
Pros:

This is a family-run eco-hotel located on a beautiful and romantic beach. Before the trip, I looked at many hotels and reviews and was prepared for the fact that the road to the hotel (about 15 minutes) was quite challenging, and swimming on the beach was not recommended. But we really wanted a secluded island experience surrounded by nature. And our expectations were more than met!
Listening to the sound of the surf and birdsong, watching hummingbirds having breakfast, and sometimes seeing a sloth in the evening – it was magnificent!
Transportation was easy; the hosts sent a trusted taxi driver directly to the airport, who then drove us around the island. Finally, for a change, we rented a small jeep for a trip to the gorgeous beaches on the other side of the island.
The dinners at the hotel were excellent! And most importantly, the hosts were incredibly welcoming! It felt like visiting close relatives who really missed you!
Thank you so much for the wonderful atmosphere at your hotel!

Perfekte Unterkunft am Bluff Beach
Pros:

Sehr freundliches, zuvorkommendes Personal und sehr schöne Unterkunft in der Natur in direkter Strandnähe. Menschenleerer Bluff Beach ist traumhaft schön und lädt zur Entspannung ein. In der Unterkunft sind die Wellen und Tiergeräusche zu hören.

Cons:

Der Weg zur Unterkunft von Bocas Downtown führt den längsten Weg über eine unbefestigte Straße, insbesondere bei Regen ist die Anreise schwierig. Wenn man Trips zu anderen Inseln plant, dauert es und man muss Taxi fahren oder sich einen Scooter etc. mieten.

A casual but luxurious stay between the beach and rainforest.
Pros:

The accommodation is on the track from town to the gardens of the Bocas island, set between the beach and the rain forest. This means lots of bird sounds in the morning, hummingbirds and the occasional howler monkey call and Sloths nearby.

Despite this isolation the bedrooms/bathrooms are luxurious, the pool a good size and the food at the casual restaurant excellent.

Cons:

Nothing comes to mind.
