The property was pretty, but my complaint is about the customer service from the attendant working the office during check-in. He offered to cancel one reservation for a room that we had next to the office and move us into the house over the water where my other friend was staying by himself in a large house with plenty of room where he already had a reservation. I paid $60.50 on my credit card at the time onsite and he assured me that the other original reservation I had would be cancelled and the money returned to my credit card, but it never was. So i'm still awaiting a refund for the room that I never used after paying more to move to the other house with my companions that had another reservation. Please refund the $60.50 to my Mastercard.

The cabins are beautiful, clean, and the staff is amazing. The location is a bit of a buzz kill. I was dropped off on a sidewalk and had to walk through a very impoverished area that felt a bit sketchy to get to the property. It was quiet in the evening but I was woken up a little after 4am by a boat bringing wood for a construction project followed by locals being pretty loud, followed by the neighbor yelling at his wife and mother in-law (luckily my son doesn’t speak Spanish because they were pretty harsh words). The owners have a great place and the things that aren’t great are out of their control.

What an amazing place to stay in Bocas del Toro. The hut was pristine and really comfortable. Try to request a water front lodge (there are 6 in total) but the front two are right on the water front but the sunsets either way are insane. The staff we dealt with were so friendly and helpful plus they did laundry for us in one hour for $10 per load. Be aware that this property is about 20 minutes walk from the main area for restaurants etc and you have to walk between locals’ houses to get the property. The water is clear and you can see some marine life like star fish and small squid but there is a lot of litter floating in the water and general waste which is a real shame (not Koko Acqua’s fault). Despite this, it was really good value for money and I highly recommend a night or two here if you’re staying in Bocas del Toro.

The setting is great but it's difficult to get transportation. They have a full kitchen but don't provide necessary items. Only one towel a day and they are very strict about it.

Cabins were super cozy and comfortable. Staff was very nice and attentive. View from cabins was, of course, the ocean, which is priceless. Las cabañas estaban super acogedoras y cómodas. La dueña fue muy linda y atenta. La vista desde las cabañas no tiene precio.

We loved being on the water and we could walk everywhere. Taxi rides were close by and cheap. We liked the rustic cabin feel and they upgraded the hot water while we ere there, which was a blessing. The stairs are a bit tricky if you’re unsteady. There was only one chair my husband could sit in comfortably. That said, we loved the experience.

La propiedad es preciosa sin embargo pasan dos cosas: a) está largo del pueblo, aprox 1 km o similar, entonces a prepararse para caminar. b) el vecindario del hotel es demasiado sucio y con mucha basura. Por otro lado, nuestra habitación no tenía coffee maker y siendo de Costa Rica, no pude tomar café. El hotel no lo pudo solucionar en 3 días que estuve hospedada

Die Lage der Unterkunft ist wundervoll. Wir waren im Zimmer mit Garten untergebracht die Hütten sind gleich nebenan mit einer wundervollen Aussicht. Das Zimmer ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Wir hatten ein Problem mit tropfendem Wasser an der Decke, welches rasch und einwandfrei gelöst wurde. Wir hätten uns bequeme Stühle und eine Hängematte im Freien gewünscht, ist bei den Hütten vorhanden, jedoch im Zimmer mit Garten leider nicht. Es war selten jemand anwesend, um Fragen zu stellen und nicht alle waren aufmerksam und freundlich.

Es un hotel muy lindo, limpio y con agua caliente. No hay ruido de nada y paseamos en la noche por los alrededores y era muy seguro. La gente muy amable y la propietaria muy simpática. La habitación muy grande, pero sin armario o gavetas donde guardar la ropa. Lo unico que no me gusto fue la cama, en esa cama era imposible dormir. Fueron dos noches y no dormi nada y me levante con dolor de espalda y todo el cuerpo y eso que estoy acostumbrada a dormir en todo tipo de colchón y no me molesta, pero ese colchon deben cambiarlo para que los huéspedes no hagan malos comentarios. El hotel es bellísimo y seria una pena que tenga menos estrellas por un colchon. Es ist ein sehr schönes Hotel, sauber und mit heißem Wasser. Es gibt überhaupt keinen Lärm und wir sind nachts herumgelaufen und es war sehr sicher. Die Leute sind sehr freundlich und der Besitzer ist sehr nett. Das Zimmer ist sehr groß, aber ohne Schrank oder Schubladen zum Aufbewahren von Kleidung. Das einzige, was mir nicht gefallen hat, war das Bett, in diesem Bett war es unmöglich zu schlafen. Es waren zwei Nächte und ich habe überhaupt nicht geschlafen und ich bin mit Rückenschmerzen und am ganzen Körper aufgewacht und ich bin es gewohnt, auf allen Arten von Matratzen zu schlafen, und es stört mich nicht, aber diese Matratze sollte gewechselt werden damit die Gäste keine schlechten Kommentare abgeben. Das Hotel ist wunderschön und es wäre schade, wenn es wegen einer Matratze weniger Sterne hätte
