Simon Jon

Nice location and beautiful views. Simon was very helpful and welcoming on arrival. the place could be a bit more clean and well mantained but other than that is a beautiful spot.

ATTENTION! Be sure to clarify before arrival if there is running water. We only learned upon arrival that there is no running water in the entire accommodation, which is obviously a longer condition. The non-functioning toilet flush smelled very uncomfortable. The garden and lounge areas are extremely nice. Also the room, which is very simple, is very nice, with a beautiful view. It's worth mentioning, however, that you notice every movement from the room from the floor above and understand every word. The bathroom and kitchen are an imposition, very dirty and would have to be completely overhauled. Simon is very friendly and helpful, but doesn't seem to be quite master of the location.

The place is very nice and quiet. Unfortunately, we had no running water in our booked accommodation. Toilet walks at night were very tricky and can only be handled with a headlamp. Finally, there was only one shower that had running water… Due to the lack of water situation we left early.

it is a pleasant place in nature that is its greatest value, the hosts were friendly and very conservative. many things were in poor condition, for example the fridge, the light bulb burned on the second day. The kitchen is not careful. It says they have a washing machine but it also didn't work. They should put a little more care to the place, which is a pleasant tropical adventure. The wifi only arrives in the common area. It's time to highlight that as well.

Beautifully located in the middle of trees. Amazing views. Quaint cabin - just the comforts a wooden cabin offers: None 😬 Gives clean places, no toilet door available. Completely ok in itself, only the price-performance ratio is wrong here. $75 total per night without breakfast- otherwise you get a lot more for the same money. The host is very nice and answers messages super fast.

The accommodation itself is very nice. You sleep in individual cabins with your own bathroom (integrated in the bedroom - without a door). A kitchen for shared use is provided. You should know that the accommodation is called "Beverly hills" - then you should also find it faster than we... It wasn't special, but it was okay. We didn't hear much about the host, which was also due to New Year's Eve. However, I was also missing information in advance to find the place well.

Unfortunately, we didn't have the best time in room number 6. Although the climb up the hill wasn't too bad, the insects at night were. And then I don't mean little bugs or mosquitos, no: multiple 5cm cockroaches and even a scorpion(!) in our room. Simon did offer his help by cleaning the room the next day but that didn't help as the bugs returned. Eventually, we proposed to move a room up ourselves (but we also found a cockroach there). I travelled a lot and I would say I'm a rather adventurous traveler, but this was a bit too much jungle experience for my taste. Perhaps the other (lower) rooms are better but then again there isn't much on isla bastimentos to go for. It's basically an island full of local (almost indigenous) people where they put a couple hostels on. I would recommend staying in Bocas town (off the main grid) or red frog beach for a better experience in Bocas del toro.
