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.

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.

I'll be back without hesitation and I recommend it 200%!

    The location off the beautiful Red Frog beach is the best feature of the place. The beach was not too crowded given we were off-season (April 18).The facilities are shaded by tropical / palm trees, well groomed.The staff at the reception was very friendly and helpful. The beach cabaña we rented was very clean, including the bathroom. The short walk through the jungle to the lodge is beautiful and sets the relaxed vibe of the place.

    The hostel was super cheap which was great for travellers (like us) who are on a budget. The option to rent a fan was great too although it actually wasn’t too hot at night. Loved the outside shower! It’s a little bit further out of town but only $1 for a taxi so not bad at all.

    Great location at beautiful Red Frog Beach, good guest guidance before arrival. The food in the restaurant did taste amazing. Would not recommend booking with breakfast, the menu is limited and it ends up cheaper to order directly from the menu. The dorm itself was spacious and elegant.

    This establishment was very pleasant, the accommodation is new and in perfect condition. The communal areas are spacious, airy and perfect for relaxing in the cool of the day! The hosts and staff are welcoming, kind and warm. The common areas and rooms are very clean! The kitchen is very convenient for eating on the go, as is the drinking water tank. Despite its central location, the night noise is not too disturbing (except during carnival time, but that's normal!) and this location is ideal for excursions, restaurants, shopping...
