The property was amazing. Very comfortable and good taste. Very relaxing ambiance

The only thing is that the water is murky just by the property but if you go further out is beautiful

Host is really great! She was very helpful and caring. My son and his fiancée are still talking about her. She also organized us a private boat from Almirante so we didn't need to go through the main island. When arriving from the mainland, i would recommend to take AVIS rental and leave it in the close by airport. Less hassle and quicker than parking it there or taking the ferry as you can later take the flight back to Panama city. Place is really private, personal bar, pool and free kayaks, darts. Garden is nice and we saw a sloth living there. This is a place to be with yourself, family or friends. Main island and parties are a bit too far, so go there to load your batteries (or have your own party). Certainly one of the best places in Bocas!

Snorkeling takes few minutes to get to clear waters and you should watch out for the boats that may go by, but it is worth it.

We had a wonderful stay with Camille and Romain. The charming very small resort has a relaxing setting, fantastic views and excellent fresh food. The rooms are spacious with a comfortable big bed. The balcony is very nice with a mosquito screen. We woke up with the impressive sound of the howling monkeys. The pool is a bonus and El Caribeo offers a wide variety of trips. If you like some relaxing days, El Caribeo is the place to be. And ... they really value sustainability and are very eco friendly.

We stayed at El Caribeo for 5 nights and had an absolutely wonderful time! We loved being on Isla Cristóbal - it was extremely peaceful, but still a short ride into Bocas Town. The room was lovely - spacious, with a large screened in balcony and expansive view of the water and other islands. The water in the rooms is also potable, which was a nice surprise for us. It's captured from the rain and filtered and tastes great - so nice to not produce a ton of plastic waste drinking bottled water the whole time. The whole place was so incredibly clean - the rooms, common areas, and deck are swept and mopped thoroughly every day. It was great to be able to walk around barefoot and feel clean the whole time. The grounds are also very pretty - tons of flowers, butterflies, hummingbirds, tiny lizards, etc. We didn't see any sloths at the hotel, but also didn't really search them out as we saw them pretty much every day on excursions. The service was incredible also - meals were tasty and fresh, water was always being refilled, as was anything else we wanted (beer, wine, sangria, coffee, etc). The excursions we did included pickup and drop off, which was nice since frequent water taxis to/from town can add up ($25 each way for 2 people). One of the nicest places we've ever stayed. Highly recommend a visit if you're in Bocas and looking for a peaceful escape!

The only "negative" is that it can add up going back and forth to bocas town given the $25 cost each way. But, we knew that going in and only wanted to go into town a couple times.
