This is a hostel done right! Beautiful bar/restaurant on the water. Extremely comfortable rooms with everything you'd need. A host of activities that you're free to join is you like. 100% would recommend and stay here again.

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

Thank you especially to the Hosts. Everything was fine. Perfect location, cleanliness and comfort, to tell you the truth at a level adequate to the price. I read the comments some people and I think that anyone who expects miracles for such a (really low) price must be detached from reality. Personally, I recommend it. Especially the help and reaction on our tasks of the hosts were the best level. I know, we are not easy guests, but ... thanks for your patience, it's something difficult for buying. Best regards, Garou.

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.
