La habitación muy limpia y ordenada. La cama muy cómoda. La comida deliciosa.

El personal del desayuno si hubiera sabido que era así la atención de la mañana en el restaurante no hubiera incluido los desayunos para mejor desayunar fuera.

I would never go again. The staff just made you feel like you are an inconvenience. Even if you’re in the pool, you lite
Pros:

The property itself was nice. The rooms were good size.
The housekeepers were Pleasant did a good job

Cons:

The food was mediocre. The staff were ridiculously in different to anything you ask them. The Restaurant staff abysmal. After 45 minutes of asking for a coffee. I had to ask again. Three more times. And finally, I got a cold cup of coffee. The staff never smiled. They didn’t look like The enjoyed their job. The service was so slow. And every single meal was cold, there was seven of us, and not one of us got a hot meal

We would stay in Bocas Town again…but not in the main town area.
Pros:

Good location in town for those who want to have access to night life. Walking distance to places in Boca Town. Great breakfast included!

Cons:

The pool and spaces to chill in the sun were too small for the number of guests booked to be able to find a place to relax. The location is very loud being as it’s right by the water taxi stand (not their fault!).
