Visited during rainy season. Fabulous views, staff, bed, linen, pillows, AC, pool, outside over-the-water restaurant/bar, & beach area. Room w/broken sliding door. Recommend: replace room curtains, deep cleaning floor into corners, sweep bugs (lots of flies). Honors jubalido (resident senior discount).

We had a very large room. A couch and TV at the entrance and a big king size bed with a lovely balcony overlooking the ocean in a separate room. The bed was super comfy. The pool is large, clean and warm.

The hotel has a great location but it is very much in need of an update. I was also told it is for sale which is why nothing is being done. The breakfast is horrible and the food was very inconsistent. The ladies at the front desk were very helpful and friendly.

I am sure at one point in time, this was an A rated resort. It is very obvious that the property has not been kept up since it opened. The curtain in my room was torn, sliding glass in bathroom did not work and was falling apart, every time I showered it flooded, the furniture was old, discolored, and falling apart, the grass was unkept, weeds were even growing in the sand. I could go on and on. However, I will say that the staff and the food was the best thing about this property.

2/10 Poor

We understand that as any resort they had safety policies but having 4 small kids and being unable to stay all together in the same room is ridiculous. I stayed in this resort many times for years and they couldnt fix anything to acomodate my kids leaving me to the search of a new place to stay with them. I hope they return to their old management or do something different because I could never ever return to this hotel and I would never ever recommend anybody to stay there. Im sure Im not the only one who has something to say about it.I would rather stay on the street if it was my only option. very very dissapointed

This hotel is very big, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful, overall it was clean and if you needed help with a problem it was taken care of. The food was okay and they will try to accommodate any wishes you might have, the downside was the food might not be as hot by the time you get it at your table. Would I come back yes but not at any holiday time as it might get to noisy and as this hotel is very big a lot of guests.

the menu provided was substandard, the fact that we added breakfast and dinner included in our packages should not mean that the menu should be less than the actual menu.

It was a great home basis for all the activities Bocas has to offer. Pool was great as was all the toys / balls / kayaks they had complimentary. Food was good, not great, but I would recommend this place and their friendly/helpful staff. It was great for our family vacation.

The water had a lot of chlorine. One of my kids could barely breath after taking a shower and the rest of us had itchy eyes. One we complained at the front desk they merely shrugged their shoulders saying that it was the city's fault, without a hint of sympathy nor look for a solution or alternative (i.e. shower somewhere else).

NO WAY - not a 4 stars *** a scam***

So much to say... just negative about everything but the staff. Smell in the room, awfull. Cleanliness, noway. Room old and broken= . AC don't work properly . A door is about to fall on your toes . The odor of moisture doesn't gain your trust!! . The safe? Don't work. . The pool. So much birds feecies, not sure into what kind of water you are swimming. . Breakfast - very under standard . The rooms are always annexed to another, but the door between the rooms is not tight at all, so you hear whatever is going on in the other room, including very late chatting and laughing . 4 stars hotel? no way!!! it doesn't encounter a 1 star... . staff is comprehensive and helpful
Mold all around the shower area. Doors so dirty.
The mirror is spotted and reflects the general condition of the Hotel.
The floor, dirty and worn out.
The door on the left side is about to fall off it anchors.

The view and the pool is beautiful. Staff didn't see too friendly. The first night, we were trying to rest up at 8 PM. Next door, a man was renovating and scraping away with a screeching sounds. My husband told him to stop and he still continue. We called the front desk and they said they will tell him to stop, he didn't. By 9 PM, my husband came out and broke out in broken English and firmly told him to stop making the scraping and screeching sounds. I would not book at this hotel again.

Unsafe, Dirty but Nice Staff.

This was a rundown hotel. No wifi. Dirty rooms and very smelly. Then to make it worse, there is a sign that says don't swim where there are buoy's. There were none and I swam. There was a ROCK WALL under the water and I had a very serious accident. The staff said i was the THIRD person that happened to recently and that the buoy goes out to see. They said they would replace it but never did. When I checked in, I was given the instructions for dinner as we had all inclusive. I was told only the adults get certain foods but we paid all inclusive for 4. On the second day the manager apologized and said that was an error but the night before we did not have enough food for our family. The staff were super nice and tried to help us in many ways. And they did. But the grounds are not kept up and the pool is dirty. What can the nice staff do with such conditions. I felt terrible for that. The light switches were filthy and the floors dirty and stained. We got bites from bed bugs. The pool is murky every day despite a nice man trying to clean it out each morning. There are no tours but the staff did go out of their way to help us arrange a boat tour and taxi to town. This hotel is very rundown and very dangerous. The only thing that stood out as good was the nice manager, the great front desk staff, the restaurant server and bartender were also very kind as were the two ladies who helped to clean up my face. But I would not stay here.
