The idea of "Panama time" was prevalent on property. After traveling all day room was 2 hours behind for being ready, no keys given until requested on 2nd day, dinner offer by owners personal chef not prepared on time (left after waiting too long). BUT the owner constantly tried to make up for many things and that was appreciated. The dock was nice to relax on. The crew took people out for boat rides daily.
Biggest problem was the restaurant under new management. Arrogant and lacked cooking skills and most things unavailable on the menu. Until new restaurant management occurs we suggest El Bongo next door. Great food and super ambiance.
I do want to thank the owner of the hostel for his efforts having his chef make breakfast for us on the final morning. Of course, the follow through or "Panama time" really messed with our enjoyment. He really tried to please us, just not organized with his time and no strong staff to cover for him. Very nice fella and we wish him the best of luck.

Frühstück konnte man im Restaurant wohl bestellen- hab ich aber nicht, weil Busse nach Colon schon früh losfahren. Der Pool war ohne Wasser, nett + angenehm die Hängematten auf der immer etwas luftigen Mole. Dort auch eine Badeleiter für sandfreien Badegang!

el check in ocurrió tardío no tenían la habitación lista, en la noche no se podía dormir porque la música era ensordecedora, el servicio de piscina fatal era de juguete, en las habitaciones se escuchaba todo lo de las otras habitaciones no hay privacidad, en términos generales no fue una buena experiencia.

No recibí la habitación por la que pagué, no había personal en recepción, tuve que regresar y esperar dos veces. Pagué por una con balcón y vista a la playa y la respuesta por teléfono fue, salga de la habitación y mire al lado izquierdo. Expectativa vrs realidad muy dissante.

A éviter
Hôtel médiocre à fuir le weekend car extrêmement bruyant les chambres sont défraîchies et la literie défoncée
Point positif les patrons du restaurant sont charmants mais leur personnel pas très agréable
Au vue des prestations le prix est bien trop élevé
