Great staff! Enrique and his family are great hosts and are actively trying to make Bastimentos island an even better destination for visitors. Atmosphere is the nicest we had in Bocas! Wizard is one of the most beautiful and relaxing beaches in the archipelago (they are building a new track that should make it much easier to reach it). Big room with a nice air conditioner

This family run accommodation is amazing value for money with two kitchens, friendly & very helpful staff and right on the water with its own pier for water taxi collection. The accommodation has lots of tables and hammocks for relaxing and is very close to local restaurants and a small supermarket. It is a beautiful 20 minute walk through the jungle to get to Wizard beach and a short water taxi to Red Frog beach and Isla Colon.

The hostel Is super new, plenty of spaces and is super clean. The location is across the center of Colon so everything is close. The owner is a great person and it feels like a place where you can stay longer than usual. So highly recommended. Also the pancakes chef is a fantastic dude.

    Great location and if you like to party it is the perfect spot to meet new people. Also, everyday new activities and you should make sure to be at the Filthy Friday party (everyone around is coming and the whole hostel is packed!).

    The location is perfect, just one min away from Bocas town. The hostel got a lot of potential, keep in mind is a party hostel so it's very loud, but if you are looking to meet new people this is the right place.
