An excellent boutique hotel on a beautiful location. Roman one of the owners pampered us with delicious dinners! The service was excellent and beyond expectations. Roman made our stay very pleasant and helped us with ordering a day trip to other islands.

My wife and I had such a great time here this week. Roman, Camille and team create a chilled and welcoming place to stay. The food is GREAT, the pace is whatever you want and the view is terrific. It’s an easy water taxi to Bocas - and SUCH a better place to stay than the town. They only have capacity for 6 guests at a time and that made it unique. The people we met were terrific. We recommend you bring insect repellent and anti-itch cream - but that is true for the whole Bocas region, not just this accommodation.

Very nice accomodation with great hosts, good cocktails, great pool, big garden and great food. The host built the whole thing by themselves, which is very impressing. We stayed at the big bungalow and it was simply perfect. If you want to relax and calm down this is the place to be. Food is not cheap but very good! I can totally recommend this place and would love to stay there again pretty soon! On the balcony of the bungalow we had very small mosquitoes, especially during the early morning hours (most of you might still sleep then) and in the evenings. So make sure to bring a long sleeve/trousers or a Sarong and enough repellent. They do use coils as well, which help. But this was really the only negative point. On the other hand, you are close to the jungle, so it is what it is.

Séjour inoubliable, 3 hôtes inégalables, service irréprochable, gentillesse, disponibilité, humilité, cuisine excellente avec une grande partie venue du jardin. S'il y avait 6 étoiles, je les mettrai sans hésiter ! Nous reviendrons !

We spent 6 days at El Caribeo to celebrate our 35th Wedding Anniversary, and it was perfect… small, quaint, close to nature, and very luxurious eco-resort. Our three (3) young French hosts were excellent…. friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and wonderful chefs. They served us a spectacular lobster dinner for our anniversary, and other nights included seared tuna, steak, and lasagne among other treats. We were spoiled with very personalized attention as the only guests (staying in one of their two bungalows, as they were renovating the other bungalow). Activities included going to Dolphin bay (to see dolphins), kayaking around the island (where there were sloths), visiting a beach, and a special tour of the Ngobe people to show us the medicinal use of the island plants and the Ngobe culture. And in all activities, we were awed by the spectacular views of the ocean and the distant mountain range of Boquete. We will be back.

What an awesome retreat, outside the hustle and bustle of bocas town. A very intimate place with (currently) only two accomodations. The hosts are super friendly and do everything to make the stay perfect. we loved being on this great property, wandering around observing the nature, go snorkelling etc. Food is excellent, with ingredients from the garden. Thanks again for an awesome weekend escape!

We had a wonderful time at El Caribeo, exactly what was promised at *********** and better. With attention to detail we were taken care of and could fully enjoy ourselves. I recommend the garden tour, it is really impressive and interesting to learn about all the fruits and plants on the property and you get to taste them all! Make sure you are happy with staying on the property, since getting to the main island of Bocas del Torro will cost you about 25$ one way. But for our purpose of relaxing after an adventurous diving experience on the pacific side of Panama, it was perfect!
