Excellent host. Great breakfast. Super clean. Very safe. Beautiful grounds. Nice pool. Hearing the waves. Super friendly dog. Walking distance to nearby restaurant and bar. Good wi-if. Nice A/C.

A bit far from town, so a taxi or comfortable shoes are needed if you do not rent a bike, scooter, ATV, etc. No TV, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

We loved our stay so much that we extended it by 4 nights . Richard is a perfect and very kind host with great information on the sights to see. His property is immaculate , crisp white linen , fabulous hot shower and rooms are spacious and very clean . Our room had a patio area with couch and hammock . Richard makes a superb breakfast if you choose this option . His friendly dog Sombra was delightful, as is the curious cat . The pool was pristine and cool surrounded by palms . The beach is just over the road and you can hear the waves as you fall asleep . It’s a little bit out of the town but we found this ideal as it’s quiet and you get to see and hear the howler monkeys around you. The local taxis are only $1-2 per person to Sol y sombra . We would choose to walk a short distance to take the cheaper $1 fare . It’s close to the bus to starfish beach which was a favourite trip of ours and even saw two sloth on the walk thru to the beach. I highly recommend this accommodation and the price was good value compared to other nearby properties.

Very clean and beautiful rooms.

Lovely and clean room with a nice pool area to lie out. Getting a taxi to town was only $2 dollars or just $1 with a short walk. Incredibly kind host and lovely dog!

Very nice and super helpful host. We also liked Sombra the dog, and the location was really nice. Our room was clean and quite big. After being in a horrible accommodation before, this felt like coming home to a friendly and welcoming environment. Thank you, Richard!

I cannot recommend Sol y Sombra enough. We loved our stay with Richard, who was an amazing host. Our room was spacious, clean and stylish, with a fab shower. The pool area and breakfast were great, and Richard helped us with any recommendations. We wanted somewhere near the beach and away from the noise so this place was perfect. It's a 10 minute drive away from Bocas Town, which cost $1 each way, so wasn't a problem to go into town for evening meals. This place made our stay in Bocas very special, thank you very much!

Richard is a very nice and friendly host, he knows everything about the island and will give you the best advice whatever your question is. My room was very big, with a huge king size bed and super clean. It's not in the centre but if you walk a few meters you will find a taxi to go into town . The location for me was perfect because from there you will easily visit the beaches of the island. Also, if you prefer to stay close by, there is a beach right in front of the hotel. Highly recommended!
