This place was the best spot on the island in my opinion. Our dogs loved it and the staff were really great. Felt safe and welcome. Great location on the island with easy access to taxis whenever needed. Highly recommend if staying on canenero island.

There are limited dining options - the first day we arrived the both restaurants were closed - breakfast took over an hour each day which is too long - dinner was great the lobster with passionfruit butter was well work it. It is a cute spot but you do need to take a water taxi anywhere you go, the rooms are small but okbjust for sleeping

Just a quick boat ride from Bocas Del Toro to a super cute small waterfront resort with pool bar and restaurant ! Staff was very helpful with tours and directions to give the water taxis for what piers and so on

It was awesome from the minute I arrived. Family owned business that went out of their way to ensure every detail was covered. Helped book excursions, gave suggestions on things to do. The food was incredible, everything I had and I had at least 2 meals there a day was delicious. The waitresses were friendly and responsive The bartenders were all so much fun with great personalities. Gave average rating on noise but learned turn AC on and that drowned it out.

We stayed here for 2 nights and the hosts were great. The rooms were great as well. I only wish the bar was open later and on Wednesdays seems like they do not open at all. For a hotel I would think guests want to have drinks by the pool while they are on the property. You can jump right off the docks into the clear water and see all types of fish. If they ever change the restaurant/bar times I will go back for sure.

Is a beach property. Nice, the owners receive you and make you fell like home. The workers of the restaurant need to have a better treatment to the locals. But in general nice please to go with the family or couples.

Don’t look into the corners. One week was too long. On the bright side - hot showers were good and the bed was comfortable. Sink was loose and toilet third world. The bar staff (Ana) was the best😁

Inexpensive for what you get. I stayed in a private over the water cabin with my own private bathroom. Conveniently close to Bocas Town. Host was friendly, patient, and very helpful. Has its own restaurant and bar, so really no need to go anywhere else. I would rent again.

Great quiet location. Easily accessable to water taxis to go to any islands. The food and Bloody Marys at Cosmic Crab are so great. We stayed 2 weeks and ate multiple meals here and neither of us had a bad meal. You can't go wrong here with location, food and cocktails.

10/10

I had a great stay at the cosmic crab, 5/5, Great location and great views of the surroundings. Staff was friendly and took time to explain all the services and hotel guidelines. Anyone who wants to have agreat time in Bocas should consider CC

8/10

Great Owners & Staff. Welcoming and inviting. Property is super cute. Swimming pool with swim up bar. Bungalows over the water and on land. AC doesn't cool well and it stays humid in the room area. Other then that great place to come for food, music and swimming with friends or family. The Caribbean water is clear. You can walk the docks and see starfish, stingrays, fish and even nurse sharks. Water Taxi costs $2/pp from Bocas Town each way. The owners beautiful art work is for sale on site. Come & visit or stay for awhile. Stop at the market prior to coming to the island.
