    Unfortunately, our mood was dampened right at the beginning when checking in: Yes, we were at the hotel well before 3pm due to our arrival by night bus. This happens often and has never been a problem on any of our trips. Unfortunately, we received an extremely unfriendly welcome in Barbra. We were informed that, exceptionally, we could leave our luggage, but then we would have to leave the facility again, otherwise other guests could be disturbed. When we asked if we could freshen up, this was possible after consulting the manager, but it was not welcome. The entire conversation with the employee made us think we were just being a hassle and made us feel more and more unwelcome. When asked, we were told that we could exceptionally stay in the facility and use it. After we started cooking, the employee in question again didn't miss the opportunity to point out to us in a rude tone that we were only allowed to stay and not cook. Third time in less than 4 hours she talked to us in this rude way. Of course we left straight after cooking and got back on time for the official check in. It was obvious that the girl didn't like us and just wanted us to know which is not nice. Other than this personal treatment, we want to point out that the accomodation isn't worth the money. It was by far the most expensive stay during our vacation but the conditions of the hotel is not adjusted to the price. It's a shared bathroom. The toilet and the shower is used by more than 3 hotel rooms (so min. 6 people). It should also be emphasized that a dog lives in the complex that apparently gets so little exercise that it pooped right in front of the hotel door. A cat keeps coming into the kitchen and walking along the counter where guests are preparing their food. All in all, based on our first experiences, we cannot enjoy our stay as hoped. We will not recommend the accommodation and will not visit it again.

    First of all, we would like to emphasize that we were really looking forward to our time in the accommodation. It was the first accommodation on the island during our Panama trip and we arrived in a correspondingly positive mood. We liked the location, even if it was a bit out of the ordinary. At night you can hear the sound of the sea and you can while away lovely hours in the common area. So much for the things that immediately struck us as positive.

    No taxis to take you into town, airport or ferry or pick you up, so you have to either walk the whole way with your luggage or hope you find a taxi while doing the walk.

    A lovely Bnb with great furnishings, hammocks, a couple of sun beds. Delicious freshly cooked breakfasts you choose from a menu. My bedroom was small with a shared shower out on the decking and the only toilet inside the main area. Location wasn't good as at least a 20 minute walk to town for lunch and/or dinner in temperatures around 30 degrees, poor pavements and roads unless you want to cook in the kitchen. By the time you get to the town you're sweaty and dirty from dusty or muddy pavements. No taxis will pick up or drop off for the Bnb, so I had to walk from the boat drop off with my luggage and again when leaving I had to walk to the airport with my luggage. Very annoying and disappointing.

    Bad price performance ratio (in our opinion)

    To summarize, we had very high expectations and were disappointed. We could write a list of things we didn't like, but that is not worth the effort. For us the price performance ratio was just not good.

    - Delicious breakfast - Nice chill out area - clean

    all amazing

    All in the place it’s amazing. Marcos, Pierre, Angie, they’re incredible. Súper chill and calm the vibe. Quietness and cozy. Water temperature, corals and fishes under the place are my favorite honestly. (you need yo swim) Good location and tours. The breakfast it’s a must. :D
