The first step in making reservations is to ask yourself "Why am I coming to Bocas Del Toro?"
If the answer is to Surf, Fish, Dive or tour the islands and the rain forests, you have found the right accomodations for your needs. Clearly, we cater to water sports enthusiasts and eco-tourists that wish to have a rainforest experience instead of staying in town. It is quiter and more peaceful here in the hills. Closer to the surf too.
We offer accomodations as well as surfing and eco-tours on a first come, first serve basis. If you are on a budget and looking to surf, we are a short 30 minute walk to the main breaks.
