Our stay at this boutique hotel on Isla Colón was absolute perfection. Nestled between the jungle and the sea, right by the gorgeous Playa Bluff (not ideal for swimming but stunning nonetheless), the setting is pure paradise. With only 10 rooms, the hotel offers a peaceful, intimate vibe. Our spacious room featured a large, comfortable bed and a private balcony — waking up to the sounds of howler monkeys and birds was unforgettable. The swimming pool was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The service was excellent — the staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay. The food was delicious, making it tempting to dine in often. It’s about a 30-minute drive from Bocas Town, so I’d recommend having a taxi contact handy. One of our highlights was renting ATVs to explore the island — an amazing way to see more of the area (including the incredible beach “La piscina”) All in all, a 10/10 experience. If you’re looking for tranquility, nature, and a bit of luxury, this place is a hidden gem.

It is exactly as the photos show with a lovely pool with lots of very comfortable lounges both in shade and sun. No aircon but surprisingly didn’t need it in February. This is a long way from shops or restaurants but luckily the meals here are excellent and even though there is no menu the food is delicious at every meal and varied. We were there for 7 nights but always something different. The boat ride to go anywhere is from $10 per person or $15 to redfrog beach but then you have to pay $5 entrance fee. If you want a quiet but comfortable stay this is the place. Benoit and Fabienne are great hosts

Pierre and Manon are excellent hosts with a wealth of information about the local area incl things to see and places to eat. Dinner is optional at their place and the food was excellent both nights we ate there. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of space in the room. Kayaks are available and there is snorkeling right in front of the property. We were also fortunate to see a sloth waIk thru the garden. I would recommend staying at Ataraxia

Due to a big delay we arrived late, but they were very responsive and arranged everything. We wanted to stay one extra night, not a problem at all. Also on our last day I had a dive in the morning and they let me shower in the room afterwards! Breakfast is great and also very nice you can borrow bikes, snorkeling gear or the kayaks to go to one of the floating bars nearby.

We stayed a Hostal Hansi for 3 nights, ended up extending for 1 more night and wish we could have stayed longer here. The photos don’t do this place justice. We absolutely loved it here!! The room with the balcony was so spacious, they provided fresh towels, quick laundry services, the kitchen was just perfect and spacious! And to top it off the staff here are just so so nice! It felt like a little home for us! Also, the first place we have stayed at in a while that had hot water!! One of our favourite places we have stayed on our trip so far!

Beautiful large nestled in the jungle. Amazing rooms , beautiful colours. Felt like you were living in a treehouse high up in the jungle. Matthau’s an amazing host super friendly and knowledgeable. The wildlife around the property is incredible and the private beach, snorkelling and activities are 2nd to none. I would 100% return if visiting Bocas again.

In one word: wow! It's a little jewel hidden under a huge bamboo tree! The place is incredible, the room very comfortable, and the whole team really friendly and attentive. The place is brand new, the rooms too and you can feel that the owners have put all their heart into the construction, every detail has been chosen with great taste. I'll be back without hesitation and I recommend it 200%!
