"The staff and food of the resturant of this place totally made this hotel. It is such a charming place. I would stay there again without any hesitation. "
"Only stayed for one night (Thursday), but the hotel was perfect for us!
The only thing to be mindful about is the constant requests for taxis or tours (or what our plans are for tomorrow) at the nearby businesses on the street. But there’s not much the hotel can do about that, and it may be helpful for some tourists. "
"We had a wonderful time staying in one of Koko aqua lodge’s over the water bungalow for a few days while visiting Bocas Del Toro,Panama….And what made it even better were the super friendly people who run the place in particular Heylis who is a great host and a real good singer in a local band…Thank you all ☺️"
"Perfect for me, room was clean and was comfortable, staff are amazing. There is some construction ongoing but not a bother unless you want to sleep all day. Owner very helpful. Will stay again "
"Convenient location downtown. Although we didn’t swim the pool looked nice. The hotel is a bit dated but the room had decent amenities like a cold mini fridge and AC."
"There was lots of room inside, not terribly comfortable but comfortable enough. It was nice outside, but I stayed out too long and got eaten by the sand fleas. It was actually a pretty nice location. There was a little trouble communicating, but the staff was very nice and helpful."
"Really noisy, I even approached the lobby representative (lady) and informed her about the noise during my stay. She did confirm that next to room 203 there is a storage room under the stairs. The first night it was a disturbing noise around 11:30 pm. m. and the next night it was a loud noise again around 4:45am. m. and 6:40 a.m. m. (same day).
I also paid for room 202 as well and my family members also complained about noise coming from lobby staff near room 202.
in summary stay away from rooms...
"We enjoyed our stay, from the first second to the last moment, all the staff was very kind and attentive, we also booked a very nice tour with them and would like to come back soon!!"
