The food was absolutely amazing. Out of 4 nights we dined in 3 times because we wanted to try everything on the menu and every single dish we ordered was delicious. Nadia is an excellent host, our apartment was very comfortable and clean. The atmosphere was very relaxing and the view is amazing, ocean view. The location is perfect to get away from Bocas Town yet close enough to take a cab in town (we rented a car to explore the island during the day. I would definitely recommend Mosana Reef.

We stood at Mosana for 3 nights while in Bocas. It was the most lovely B&B. The house is surround by gardens and the ocean is front facing. The rooms are comfortable. I was initially concerned with not having AC during our stay but we were fine with the fans and at no point were we hot. You can purchase large containers of water from them as well. Nadia is very attentive and quick to respond to our messages and answer all our questions. The breakfast and dinner are amazing, make sure to try them. They help you get taxis when you need them, it’s about $20 to the airport and $15 into town. Playa Buff/escondido is a 10 minute walk and further down the beach there is a place to rent chairs and have lunch. I highly recommend staying it’s a jungle paradise by the ocean.

Everything was perfect

Great accommodation between sea and jungle, away from the city hustle. The only sound you hear are the sea waves and birds. The room was spacious and comfortable, the patio with kitchen was a huge plus, especially during rainy days. We loved that they changed our bed sheets every 2 days, which nowadays doesn't happen even in 4 or 5-star hotels. Nadia and Salvatore go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. They gave us a lot of tips for our tours and ways to explore the island. I can definitely recommend this place and would book it again!

Nothing

Everything was so great. Nadia and Salvatore are such great hosts; the food was amazing. The room was really nice and really quiet with the ocean really close. I will 100% recommend it

It is a rustic lodge. Don’t expect fancy, and if you are renting a car, get a four wheel drive.

The views are out of this world and the hosts, Nadia and Salvatore are wonderful! The restaurant was amazing with great Italian inspired cuisine. Was a great place to be in nature and hear the waves.

We had a rental car and wish we would have known about the stream of water we had to go through. We had to time our passes to low tide. The last 1.5 miles is gravel/sand with many potholes, narrow and along the ocean.

Loved hearing the sound of the ocean waves. Amazed to see a sloth munching on tree leaves right off the 2nd story veranda. Although no beach access at the property, Bluffs Beach is a 5 minute walk.

Stayed in February 2025

The property is simple but tastefully decorated. We especially enjoyed our huge balcony with its great view. But best if all are the hosts: Nadia and Salvatore. They did everything to make us welcome and happy. They’re extremely friendly, helpful and careful of details. Salvatore and Nadia’s cooking is simply exceptional. Everybody should try their restaurant!

Right on the sea, you go to sleep to the noise of the surf. Nadia and Salvatore are great hosts. Food is excellent. There are not many places to stay directly on the sea but this is one of them. Don't miss out.

Lovely terrace to check out the wildlife. Great, kind couple running the place with an excellent italian menu.

The road is very bad in Mosana/Bluff beach, but under construction, so hope it will be better soon. But it is not the fault of the accommodation, they are in a perfect place between jungle and sea.

Hospitality from the owners are incredible! Thanks for everything! The house, the room is exactly as on the photos. The restaurant is amazing! Cats are lovely! We are perfectly satisfied with everything. Kitchen was well equipped, bed is comfy, internet worked well. Hot water in the bathroom is a big pro!

Stayed in January 2025

Few places where the sea was swimmable (although we found them), also, not really a problem for us, rather something I had probably missed was that the bathroom to our room was through a corridor.

The remoteness of the place, the piece that one can find there, the nature/wildlife (we saw sloth right next to the path), the food, the attentiveness of the hosts, the build/decoration and surroundings - everything was done in the traditional style. Opportunities for hikes and experiences not far from the place (Bluff beach, La Piscina beach, etc.).

We had a great stay and the food was delicious. The property is a few minutes from the town, in a lovely setting. The hosts worked hard to make a great stay for everyone.

Nothing, I loved it.

Nadia and Salvatore are such gentle and joyful persons. And they have created a beautiful place. I cannot even remotely imagine how much work they put in this place everyday. The house is large and has several terraces surrounding the rooms. You can either enjoy the gardens or the sea and rest there for some time. The two cute cats roaming the premises also add to the homely athmosphere. House, garden and restaurant are designed with love to detail, it is very tasteful. By the way, the romantique restaurant, in which Salvatore and Nadia cook themselves, deserves a Michelin star. They serve the best italian food in all of Panama in a cozy athmosphere right by the sea. Thank you for letting me stay with you there for 5 days, you have truly created a glimpse of paradise.

We really enjoyed the loving and hospitable nature of Nadia and Salvatore during our stay at Mosana's. The accommodation is furnished with great attention to detail and Salvatore's cooking skills are phenomenal. All in all, we can highly recommend a stay at Mosana Reef and Garden B&B.

Restaurant is to be paid in cash only (no cards). It is a quiet location, but far out of town. You are dependent on the mini van (2 $) or call a taxi everytime (15 $). If you know the hours of the mini van, and plan for it, it works OK in most cases.

Hosts Nadia and Salvatore are kind and helpfull hosts. The villa has a 20 liter water bottle for you at cost price. Large terrace, covered from sun and rain. Strong yet quiet portable ventilator. Outdoor kitchen. In the garden is a small restaurant, with a pretty sea view. Food was excellent there.

Water front, small and quiet place! Wonderful balcony facing the water with chairs and hammocks. Clean, nice room and lots of hot water. Managers were the best ever...arranged transport, gave great advise on adventures. And the food was absolutely the best. The breakfasts, fresh fish and Italian food were some of the best I have ever had. Chef is Italian! Dining was also water front. We saw toucans, parrots, sloths, monkeys etc just walking around the area. Not a crowded tourist area! Short walk to several great beaches. We enjoyed watching the surfers.

As Nadia knows, I prefer stronger coffee…

We loved every minute of our stay at Mosana Reef. Nadia and Salvatore are perfect hosts. We stayed in the two-bedroom apartment upstairs - very spacious, with private terraces front and back, one with great ocean views, especially at sunrise. The kitchen is sufficiently well-equipped if you want to cook - we didn’t, as Salvatore is such a great chef! Playa Bluff is a 10-minute walk and another 10 or so minutes brings you to a number of beach bars and restaurants. Playa Bluff itself is very beautiful and remarkably unspoilt. Mosana is such a relaxing place to stay, it was very hard to leave. Thank you so much, Nadia and Salvatore, for a wonderful visit.

Sometimes it is difficult to catch the bus going to the town of Bocas del Toro, which is about 7 kilometres away. There is no bus schedule available neither on site, nor in the town of Bocas. If you do not have a rented bike, or car, the only other way to go to the town is taxi, which is not so cheap, especially for a solo traveller.

Everything went in a smooth way, no complaints, absolutely. The property is surrounded by a quite and very interestning environment amidst beautiful nature right on a beach. Much better beach - the Bluff Beach - is just a short walk away. Nadia and Salvatore are kind and helpful hosts and Salvatore is in addition a great cook!

Absolutely nothing to complain. Nada.

My stay at this marvelous place was nothing short of exceptional. The hosts were incredibly kind, and the spacious, clean, and quiet accommodation offered an excellent view of the beautiful sea. The highlight was undoubtedly the restaurant – the linguine was the best I've had outside of Italy. I highly recommend guests to indulge in this culinary delight. A perfect blend of comfort, hospitality, and gastronomic excellence!

Sound of the ocean was great for Chilling. Super delicious food! Very friendly Service Bluff beach Just around the corner, great for a lonesome strawl on empty sands and palm trees

The location is outside the town of Bocas, watching the surfers catching the waves is a nice way to relax. The food is absolutely amazing, made from scratch by the hosts with care everyday. Nadia and Sasa are dry kind and make you feel at home immediately.

Nadia and Salvatore are a great team and will make your stay most enjoyable. Salvatore is a great cook and Nadia will make sure every detail in running smoothly. Nice location right on the beach front. Lots of vegetation in a quite location - check for the residents sleuths in the trees. Lots of room.
