    Amazing concept. Nice property, loved preparing breakfast in the Al fresco kitchen with a sea view. Bianca she is a great host. Clean property, bit expensive, thought. Downside was the behaviour of the cleaning lady. Very disappointed.

    The host Bianca is extremely personable and pleasant. It is right across from the beach. Right between town and Skully's restaurants/bar swimming pool and rentals. Air conditioner worked extremely well and it was a relaxing, private jungle oasis.

    The noise from the road was annoying. The kitchen was not fully functioning during our stay so cooking was not an option.

    Many aspects were great, most notably the staff. Bianca was incredibly helpful during our stay, providing great suggestions for sight seeing and restaurants. It was conveniently located in that a nice beach/restaurant (Pipa Beach) was within an easy walking distance, and taxis were available right outside the door. Even town could be reached on foot if we wanted via the lighted bike trail.

    I'm not a smoker and many Europeans do smoke outside in the common areas.

    I loved the location of the property (away from the noise of town) and the relaxed vibe of the hotel. The staff, Bianca and Marilluz, are wonderful and truly care that you have a a comfortable experience. The place is a bit rustic but it's all part of Bocas. There were a few snafus, but the staff worked hard to find solutions and remedy and I couldn't ask for more than that.

    It's a bit far from town... you have to take a taxi since most attractions are not walkable distance. There could be more furniture or shelves to keep our luggage off the floor, and a second chair in the room would be welcome

    Cecilia, the manager is very helpful and told us all about the area. They have a well equiped common kitchenette where we can make our own meals

    There is a problem with taxis to the city. It's not so efficient as mentioned in some of the reviews. At one occasion we have waited for almost an hour to get the ride.

    Somewhere is a perfect property, well equiped rooms, efficient AC, with shared kitchen/cooking space. Location near the see/beach, we saw monkeys 50 m from the property. Extremely helpful staff.

    No big deal, but a set of chairs on the porch in front of the room would be a cool thing :)

    Very clean and comfy room, jungle view from the shower. We got woken up by the sounds of birds and monkeys. The kitchen in the common area is very well equipped and clean. Big fridge for your groceries. We had a wonderful stay, great place to discover the island. The owner gave us all the info we needed, e.g. his the bus works, good spots for food, places to rent bikers etc.

    Nothing, everything was perfect! Maybe, there could be a little more places to sit and chill (for example chairs at the private patio, or deck chairs at the roof terrace).

    The location is perfect. Beach and Jungle - best of both worlds. We could see monkeys there. While in Bocas Town it’s very loud and crowded and there is no access to the water, somewhere is a quiet nice place with the beach for a swim in front and the jungle behind, but you are still only a few minutes taxi drive (1$ p.P.) from the town, or a walk (~30min). It’s also half the way to some surfspots - however, taxi price is ~ 5$ to go there. Taxis are passing by frequently. There is also a special somewhere discount for renting motorbikes. There is a little street between beach and resort, but it doesn’t bothered us much. The room was super clean, spacious, new and nice equipped, the bed is sooooo soft and comforted, from the (warm!) shower you can look into the jungle. The manager, Ceci, is just lovely - she explained and helped us a lot and was always open for a nice chat (in perfect English). Another highlight was the beautiful outdoor kitchen. We usually avoid cooking in shared kitchen, but this one was so clean, so well equipped and spacious, we cooked here every day. Every room has its own space for storing stuff and there are two huge fridges. Coffee and drinking water was for free (luxury, because a bottle of water costs over 3$ at Bocas even in the supermarket). Because of the nice shared spaces, it was easy to connect with other guests and we had a lot of nice chats. There is also a nice roof terrace that is a great place for a yoga session.

    The walls between the rooms are thin, so if you're noise-sensitive, have some earplugs handy. A little bit out of town, so quieter however taking a bus or taxi is needed. Maybe after the road construction is done, it will be much better to walk or bike into town.

    Ceci is a wonderful host. She took individual care for each of the guests, arranging taxis, providing information about restaurants and beaches. The bed was comfortable, showers hot, well-equipped kitchen and refrigerator and stove. Excellent AC in rooms. Excellent wifi.

    The shower is mainly cold and whilst the hotel location is good to be out of bocas town to be prepared to wait for a taxi back on an evening as the taxis in bocas are far from ideal or regular.

    The hotel is located out of bocas town which is good. The hotel is comfortable and the host is very welcoming and provides a lot of information and tips on where to eat, visit and how to get there.

    Lovely quiet spot out of town with comfortable bed and pillows. Plenty of buses and shared taxis go past and it’s only $1pp to town. The shared kitchen well equipped and a fantastic space - some mornings we saw monkeys heading out for their day! The water cooler with hot and cold water was useful. The nearby beach was very calm and a pleasant place to spends some time. Cecile was very helpful and provided lots of useful information. There is a restaurant called Pipa which is a 10 min walk further away from Somewhere. The Saturno laundry in town charged $6 for a bag of laundry

    Did you always want to feel at home, even when you're far away from home? Then you've come to the right place: the owners, Cecilia and Marie (I hope I've got their names right?) are simply wonderful. They will help you with everything (even if you need eggs for your breakfast!), local tips, insider tips, and just everything. It's a paradise here! And the resident pet "Pancho" (be careful...hihi) is an adventure.
