7. Nowhere

"The staff is very helpful and attentive, the hotel is beautiful, sparkling clean and the garden is lush. I need to mention that entry with a vehicle can be be difficult because the gate can be opened only from the reception and if no one is available, there is just no way to open it. And it is a longish walk from the gate to the hotel, which we had to do under pouring rain to get to our taxi outside. Other than that, the stay was amazing and even better than expected for the price. Honestly...

47ft sailing catamaran in Bocas del Toro

10/10 Excellent

"Captain Jeremy and Kate were absolutely amazing. Not only did they provide anything and everything in the listing but they were constantly offering suggestions and stories about so many more options. The food was spectacular. Every single meal was delivered with love and care. They provided so much food that there was no chance anyone would go hungry, and it was so delicious it was difficult to not get seconds. My daughter loved Kate and we couldn’t have asked for someone more kind and kid friendly. Captain Jeremy basically taught our boys to fish and ensured such a success that all three kids somehow pulled in a stingray. That was such a memorable experience for all of us. We traveled to starfish beach, dolphin bay and even snagged a few moments at red frog beach. All were spectacular and worth a visit. We paddle boarded, snorkels and swam every chance we could. Even though we visited during the rainy season we would come back during any season. We were able to play games, watch movies, and overall just enjoy the views, conversations and beautiful catamaran. Our only regret is not getting to do the karaoke our last night. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, especially one that could handle my wife and I, 3 kids (18-8) and my 71 year old Mother."

Cabañas Naturaleza

8/10 Good

"The property is beautiful and very well maintained. The bed was not very comfortable. Quite firm and the bed was very, very noisy popping wood sound every time you moved. I don’t know if something needs to be tightened or what but so loud. I also wish there were more than just the two pillows. It has been a long time since I had to sleep with only one pillow. Would have been far more comfortable with an additional pillow and another blanket. The air conditioner worked great! Overall, it was a good stay."
