I was in a 4beds dorm: the beds were huge, had space to put our stuff and personnal plugs to charge devices, and after the first night they even installed curtains for more privacy, which is a must ! Confortable bathroom too. I loved the hostel ambiance, the welcome drink (that you could join every day), it was easy to meet people while still feeling a very relaxed and chill atmosphere, far away from the party hostels. The deck was perfect to do yoga, tan, jump on the water... As in the rest of the town its impossible to see the water as its only hostels and restaurant, it was nice to always enjoy the view from here. The volunteers working here were also very kind. You can take tour from them if you want (compare the peice though) The location is also good, not so long to walk to the "center" while calm. I could have stayed here much longuer !

The place surprised us as it was better than we guessed from the pictures. We had a very comfortable apartment with bathroom and small kitchen. The needs were comfy and the airco much appreciated.

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.
