    We have slept next to the restaurant Blue Coconut in an apartment and hereby judge the apartment and also the restaurant: Apartment: It is pleasant to sleep on the sea and the snorkeling was excellent, you can see many animals, but now to the negative: Price/performance overall was very very poor. The owner has three dogs, a cute baby rottweiler and two guard dogs of which she herself claims you should not attack them, because they can bite. They also guard the houses there and bark without exception when boats approach. So one is often awakened. The house you stay in is neat but not clean, we would never have cooked anything there. In the house we had many gekkos (we caught and removed four) and a huge butterfly. We had NO hot water, the water from the shower and sink runs directly into the sea. The wifi was very bad, even phone calls via whatsapp broke off. We were 3 nights, so almost 4 days, there was no cleaning, also no fresh towels. Nothing was offered preventively, no recommendations what to do, no conversations on the part of the owner, nothing. You can only get from the house to the main island of Bocas by water cab for $6 per person to do some shopping or to eat. Restaurant: The house is right next to the Blue Coconut, the owner's restaurant, but is only open from noon to 6pm, so breakfast was impossible. On our last day it was even closed, although it should be open regularly. One guest even came by water cab to eat, only to be told that it was closed, so he had to leave again. The food in the restaurant was average, the prices for it rather expensive, the staff did not remember our order and served the wrong food. The cocktails were also very poor, small selection, poorly mixed, but expensive. The price per night was $192 by far the most expensive thing we booked on our 15 day Panama tour and it was not justified in any way. One night or two days would be more than sufficient here and quite honestly we would see $90 as justified. We were quite disappointed.

    The best bar in Bocas - snorkeling in crystal clear water with rays, lots of starfish, corals around malgrove trees and plenty of fish...sunbeds, yuca tapas for 1,5 $, patacones 2,75 $ porcion, 2 $ for a beer... To sump up - Great chill

    The place it is beautiful, but the dogs and the owner ruined the environment. The dogs barks without any reason and may bite you, the owner has three big dogs including a Rottweiler that catched the leg of my girlfriend in a moment with no harm (probably the dog was playing) but it is a big dog, and we did not know what the dog is going to do (even the owner did not called the attention of the dog). The main thing that did not like us, was the attitude of the owner, the place closes at 6 pm and it is literally in middle of the sea, so you need a boat to arrive or leave, and the owner started to pressure us to leave at 6 pm without giving us enogh time to allow our boate to arrive to pick us up.

    Went for lunch right when they opened. While the food is nothing spectacular, their drinks are HEAVY and the activities are a TON of fun, especially when you have the place to yourself for an hour or two

    Was there a few hours ago. We were traveling by rowing boat. It’s definitely Not rowbot friendly... In addition, there were only mangroves and no blue coconuts. If you are ever shipwrecked avoid this place
