We stayed here for 3 nights. We had a lovely stay from start to end. This is a small boutique hotel, currently there are three rooms. We had beforehand arranged a watertaxi from Bocas town via what's app and pickup was easy. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner at the hotel all very tasty. Breakfast is pancakes with fresh fruit and a smoothie, you can add extra ham, egg and bred if you want. For lunch Camille gives you a few options to choose from. Dinner is the day special, which was great, each evening, we had lasagne, pork loin with mash and last night mahi mahi. The room was very clean and cleaned every day. The whole place is very well kept. Great balcony with lovely view over the garden and water with a chair and hammock to relax in. You can see hummingbirds, butterflies, slots and lizards in the garden. We spent our days relaxing at the pool, using the kayak one day. They will help you book tours if you want. There are also some activities you can do on the island. Food and drink prices are reasonable

An excellent boutique hotel on a beautiful location. Roman one of the owners pampered us with delicious dinners! The service was excellent and beyond expectations. Roman made our stay very pleasant and helped us with ordering a day trip to other islands.

My wife and I had such a great time here this week. Roman, Camille and team create a chilled and welcoming place to stay. The food is GREAT, the pace is whatever you want and the view is terrific. It’s an easy water taxi to Bocas - and SUCH a better place to stay than the town. They only have capacity for 6 guests at a time and that made it unique. The people we met were terrific. We recommend you bring insect repellent and anti-itch cream - but that is true for the whole Bocas region, not just this accommodation.

Very nice accomodation with great hosts, good cocktails, great pool, big garden and great food. The host built the whole thing by themselves, which is very impressing. We stayed at the big bungalow and it was simply perfect. If you want to relax and calm down this is the place to be. Food is not cheap but very good! I can totally recommend this place and would love to stay there again pretty soon! On the balcony of the bungalow we had very small mosquitoes, especially during the early morning hours (most of you might still sleep then) and in the evenings. So make sure to bring a long sleeve/trousers or a Sarong and enough repellent. They do use coils as well, which help. But this was really the only negative point. On the other hand, you are close to the jungle, so it is what it is.

We spent 6 days at El Caribeo to celebrate our 35th Wedding Anniversary, and it was perfect… small, quaint, close to nature, and very luxurious eco-resort. Our three (3) young French hosts were excellent…. friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and wonderful chefs. They served us a spectacular lobster dinner for our anniversary, and other nights included seared tuna, steak, and lasagne among other treats. We were spoiled with very personalized attention as the only guests (staying in one of their two bungalows, as they were renovating the other bungalow). Activities included going to Dolphin bay (to see dolphins), kayaking around the island (where there were sloths), visiting a beach, and a special tour of the Ngobe people to show us the medicinal use of the island plants and the Ngobe culture. And in all activities, we were awed by the spectacular views of the ocean and the distant mountain range of Boquete. We will be back.
