I was fortunate to get a room upgrade which I’m grateful for and got to be in the over water bungalows. The food was delicious, especially the lobster!! The staff, location… I reiterate, everything! Simply enjoyable.

Dining was a too expensive for mediocre food, drinks expensive & very weak.theres an awful lot of chitras around the area due to plants in standing water surrounding the property but the view off porch from overwater bungalows was amazing!

The grounds have one of the best sunset views. The staff is fun and attentive. We think the restaurant has some of the best food and drinks in Bocas. It easy to get a water taxi to Isla Colon or other islands. You can relax by the pool, enjoy the beautiful garden, or read a book in your over the water cabina. ![Looking out of the restaurant.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b3f1d3ff-8a29-4a86-8431-7ad81c6f2c98-1753204745802.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Looking out of over the water cabina.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a8ba88eb-3f67-46b4-b4ca-109efbe7d715-1753204743351.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Paradise omelet for breakfast.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/60a1800b-a946-4808-8a5e-7490586b45b0-1753204745229.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![The famous bloody mary's poolside](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4e1bbccc-507b-4c2a-aaa3-8cbc16c75298-1753204745524.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jennifer Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Georgios Jan 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Can’t wait to visit again!

It is walkable to anywhere on Carenero Island! And just a quick water taxi to Bocas town! Cosmic Crab has a beautiful swim up pool over looking the water, jungle and water front cabanas! Very clean, two restaurant s on the site. The coconut shrimp is the best! If you have a boat, you can easily dock alongside the waterfront cabanas. The day I was there they had tropical live music by the pool (Atlantis) . A beautiful little landscape place to hang out either by yourself or with friends. A little tip: If you’re walking around Isla Carenero, you may want to bring sunscreen and bug soray for no see ums. You can add Cosmic Crab to your unique stay in when visiting Bocas del Toro. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/31b45961-1bdb-48b7-af17-8964862974e5-1758541971551.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b1839919-cef7-49fc-8c46-147074c41e03-1758541970442.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Heather Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joseph Apr 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is really nice with a nice clean pool, ocean front and over water bungalows, great food and awesome staff! 1 minute boat ride to Bocas. ##### Joseph Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Semen May 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great location Great location - you can’t beat staying on water and being 15 min from a beautiful tropical beach!

The host was friendly in communication; however, the property itself was very rundown. The bed and bedding were extremely uncomfortable and felt worn, and there was very limited seating in the room. The chairs that were provided were unstable and in poor condition. Much of the property appeared to be in disrepair, including areas of flooring that felt soft and rotting underfoot. The shower had very low water pressure and was broken, and the drain did not work properly, causing water to pool significantly during use. Our room was not serviced or cleaned at any point during our six-night stay. The air conditioner barely worked - the lowest it would get was 23C. Music was so loud from nearby bars I struggled to fall asleep every night. Some nights music went till 6am. Several advertised amenities were not available during our visit, including complimentary breakfast and kayaks. Additionally, the location is close to marshland, which resulted in a large number of insects throughout the stay. While the host was polite and responsive, the overall condition of the property and lack of functioning amenities made our stay quite uncomfortable. We would recommend significant maintenance and clearer listing information for future guests. ##### Amanda Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Laura Feb 28, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service There are limited dining options - the first day we arrived the both restaurants were closed - breakfast took over an hour each day which is too long - dinner was great the lobster with passionfruit butter was well work it. It is a cute spot but you do need to take a water taxi anywhere you go, the rooms are small but okbjust for sleeping ##### Laura Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dale Nov 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The staff was great!

Nice, the owners receive you and make you fell like home. The workers of the restaurant need to have a better treatment to the locals. But in general nice please to go with the family or couples. ##### Jose Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Peter Jan 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities We stayed here for 2 nights and the hosts were great. The rooms were great as well. I only wish the bar was open later and on Wednesdays seems like they do not open at all. For a hotel I would think guests want to have drinks by the pool while they are on the property. You can jump right off the docks into the clear water and see all types of fish. If they ever change the restaurant/bar times I will go back for sure. ##### Peter Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff Feb 22, 2025 #### Definitely Recommend It was awesome from the minute I arrived. Family owned business that went out of their way to ensure every detail was covered. Helped book excursions, gave suggestions on things to do. The food was incredible, everything I had and I had at least 2 meals there a day was delicious. The waitresses were friendly and responsive The bartenders were all so much fun with great personalities. Gave average rating on noise but learned turn AC on and that drowned it out. ![Bucas across the way](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/03E5FF525F13DAF022E42ED0696712E17C1621CF1740191764248.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C4234F68B34AC971E344F116D9E6C6674018ABDC1740191771106.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Surf and turf](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C024340096D30C13A096D3A6EBBE4A38B28629EB1740191780248.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/CC2718880CE8AA3E79123AE4D4F8EE478136305A1740191795896.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jeff Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Harald Feb 3, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Good for max three days Don’t look into the corners.

Welcoming and inviting. Property is super cute. Swimming pool with swim up bar. Bungalows over the water and on land. AC doesn't cool well and it stays humid in the room area. Other then that great place to come for food, music and swimming with friends or family. The Caribbean water is clear. You can walk the docks and see starfish, stingrays, fish and even nurse sharks. Water Taxi costs $2/pp from Bocas Town each way. The owners beautiful art work is for sale on site. Come & visit or stay for awhile. Stop at the market prior to coming to the island. ##### Samirah Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert May 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Me and my partner stayed for 3 nights. The hotel is right on the water. It is on a smaller, more secluded island, which is only a 2 minute boat taxi from the main island. The hosts were attentive, they helped us book day tours around the different islands. The food served at the restaurant was delicious and well worth eating there. There is a very chilled atmosphere in the hotel which is ideal for the island feeling. We spent a lot of time in the pool, it was clean and fresh, overlooking the ocean and some amazing sunsets. Overall, we had a wonderful time with the wonderful hosts. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a few days in paradise. ##### Robert Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### dilraj Dec 31, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities I am very positive and always find great things to address, but I failed on this one! Located in really bad and in inaccessible part of the island. There is nothing to do unless you take a boat. LOTS AND LOTS of bugs (noseeems) we couldn't even step outside without being devoured. Off didnt do anything! Food was ok nothing to rave home about I got Fish Skewers, go fish lol. Dog poo was constant annoyance in front of the room door. Pool water was very dirty we couldn't work up courage to go in. There was a small handsoap in the bathroom for toiletries. It was a real disappointment. ##### dilraj Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jory Feb 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities quiet place a couple minutes and $1 water taxi to and from town.
