"I felt so good during my stay that I genuinely felt like I had found my home in Isla Colón. From my point of view, a great plus of the hotel is the presence of the Bocas Dive Center within the infrastructure, which makes the experience of diving and relaxing very convenient."

"Highly recommend Bocas Dive Center! Very nice relaxing dives, saw an awesome ship wreck and got to swim under it. Finished off with a complimentary beer. I also stayed at the hotel so it was super convenient and an overall fantastic experience!"

"Perfect stay in Bocas town! The hotel is really nicely appointed, has a modern feel but still connected to the local dive culture. Restaurant was great, they have a small menu but thoughtful and well executed. Very well managed, and clean. The dive shop was great as well, did two days of diving and would highly recommend dive master Kelly. The whole staff was wonderful, great boutique hotel."
