    I was missing only any type of coffee machine or small kettle. It would help a lot in the morning.

    It was very clean, spacious room with great terrace. Also very central location and kind host.

    We only stayed for one night, but we absolutely loved it! Very spacious room, aircon worked really well, all the towels and everything were folded in different shapes (swans/flowers) which we loved, the bathroom was lovely, lots of wardrobe space, and the location was perfect! Right in the centre of town. Would highly recommend this hotel to fellow travellers! Annies was great and super friendly as well! :D

    The party venue is close to the hotel, so the noise can be heard in the room to some extent, but it doesn't bother too much. Please note that there is no air conditioning in the room. However there is a fan. The outer door/gate is locked, which improves security. However, you need a key to open it, so it can be a risk in an emergency. So make sure you know the location of your key.

    The accommodation was really nice and clean. The location is great and you can see the sea from the balcony. The beds were comfortable and you could get more towels by asking.

    The noise at night is loud, there are a lot of bars with loud music and also there were a construction during the day.

    The room was ok, the Bed was confortable. They change towels and clean the bedroom everyday, So the room was always clean. Internet is very good, we actually can work from there. Any was very kind and helpful.

    For 2-3 days it is nice to be accommodated here.

    The outdoor entertainment venue right next to the hotel blares music until dawn, and it is almost impossible to sleep even with the windows closed. There is no breakfast at the accommodation, they give you a coupon for the bar of the neighboring hotel, where you can choose from portioned menus (you STILL HAVE TO pay 5 usd). The breakfast is not very rich for this amount of money, it is better to look around the city (and highly recommended!)!

    The common kitchen is well equipped (fridge, microwave, coffee maker, cutlery, plates) and some coffee and clean water is always available for free. The area is very safe, the staff is very friendly.

    As all places in Bocas, especially on this island, it is a bit smelly and noisy and you cannot drink the tap water. Not a complaint, but just to go in with realistic expectations.

    The property is a short walk from the ferry terminal and is very close to where you can do boat trips to the other islands. Restaurants and shops are close by. The room was small and older, but comfortable and clean. The shared living space and kitchen were clean and handy. Also very close to the airport. Drinking water provided in the kitchen and a discounted breakfast at an adjacent property.

    I think you can not use the deck because the owner lives downstairs and there are big dogs. But other than that, everything was great and besides, you don't spend too much time in the room. You are always away on tours to other islands or out to eat.

    No AC, just a fan but it has a great location and you are only there to sleep. Hang out upstairs patio was nice and had a view of the island. There is an equipped kitchen and free water. The owner was very nice!

    Good Night, use the dock out front to sit on after 5 o'clock. As they had to aggressive dogs and early in the morning and in the evening, they would come out and s*** all over the deck.

    The beds were comfortable, the staff was wonderful.

    No Air Conditioner in the rooms, with only a fan on top, It’s a nightmare to sleep in. The room had a window, which had to be kept open to at least have some air in the room. The window was located right across another hotel’s walkway, and the windows had see-through curtains, so you have no privacy, have to hide, if you don’t want people peeping into the window. The Hostel is located right next to a local bar that has Karaoke nights that last til 2 AM, and with windows open - impossible to get some sleep. The sink had no water and was leaking a little bit. The shower head was broken. Also noticed hair on the toilet when we first arrived.

    The location is okay, on the main street, but still a walk to the main action of the town. The owner was friendly and responsive

    Smell of sewage lingered. Room was very small. Solo traveller. No where to store possessions. Next time I'd spend the extra 5 or 10 dollars and get somewhere nicer in same area.

    Location was very good. Right in the middle of town, so it was safe for walking to/from. Secure/private entrance.
