The location is perfect, just one min away from Bocas town. The hostel got a lot of potential, keep in mind is a party hostel so it's very loud, but if you are looking to meet new people this is the right place.
The shared bathroom was outdated, it clearly needs some maintenance. Staff had a kitchen in the main floor and they were very loud.

The common area is super nice. Drinks were good
The rooms smelled super moldy (not ok for the price qe paid for a private room).
And actually they messed up our booking and doublebooked our room. They were very sorry but told us it only happend twice in 10 years, which was a lie cause the same day we already met two other people which had the same issue with them.

House music plays from 10am to 4am every night- wifi doesn’t work- barely any water in the shower- super old mattress- music so loud it vibrates the bed. No working wifi in the rooms. I love music and love a hostel- this was traumatizing
8.0
Really nice lounge / swimming area
Slack line and jump platforms are very funny
Social vibes and lots of parties
Good to stay there for Reggae night and Filthy Friday so you don’t pay entry
If you don’t feel like partying, you will have trouble sleeping because the dorms are right next to the bar
1$ water taxi anytime you need to go to the main island
Bit expensive for a hostel dorm
Kitchen quite dirty and not very equipped

The food was amazing. To walk out of your room each day to a welcoming staff with great food and drink choices was incredible. Plus, the views from Aqua Lounge are top tier. The swimming too - everything about our stay was great!
My friend and I should have booked separate rooms. I think more space would have enhanced our stay.

We loved the big terrace and of course the pool! Our room had a good working A/C. Even though they had some partys we had a good sleep.
Our room was really simple, it would have been nice to have something to store your clothes.

Such a cute place. Great for relaxing during the day and having fun at night (good for hanging out with the Friday crowd without having to pay for the whole thing). Staff was amazing and very friendly. Lots of spots to sit and chill too!!
2.0
Nice bar area and loungers
The private room was probably the worst we’ve stayed in after 2 months of travelling Central America. There was nothing in the room but a bed. The kitchen area was very bad, guests leaving their dirty pots / plates in the sink. I would recommend staying in Bocas town and heading to Aqua lounge on nights out only.
7.0
the location is insane
if you want a good cheap party hostel this is it but forget about the confort and clean bathroom
I stayed two night and one night there was no water in the whole place and the next day no kitchen because no electricity
good for a stay of 1/2 night to party and enjoy the view pool and location
9.0
It's very well located. It's a one minute/dollar boat ride to the main island where you have a lot of choices of nice bars and restaurants.
Every night they have another event like beer pong night/open mic night/electronic sunset party/...
You can eat a lot of good things at the hostel, although it's a little pricy.
The staff wil help you out with everything they can. We had a lovely stay!
Because of the events it can be really busy and loud at evenings/nights. But they do provide a good security system so no one can go into the rooms without permission.
The double room didn't have air-conditioning, only a fan. The dorms do have air-conditioning though.

great location lots of areas to chill during the day, and super social. very spacious so you're not all squished together
kitchen was really bad and the food at the hostel expensive. most nights they had parties/loud music even if there was no one there actually partying which was annoying
8.0
Aqua Lounge invites to party and have a good time. So there is a nice area to swim, places to relax in the sun and moreover the huge Filthy Friday party which you can join for free. Moreover, there is a separate area for hostel guests with sofas, a sun deck and a well equipped kitchen. During parties, they take care that no one gets to the hostel area if he's not staying there. By staying at the hostel, you also get a $10 discount on fun dives in the excellent dive shop next door.
As other reviews say, it is rather a pricey restaurant/bar than a hostel. There is a happy hour and a kitchen to accommodate budget travelers but I would have appreciated a permanent discount or backpacker menu for hostel guests. Moreover, they don't care about good night sleeps a lot. They played music until appr. 3 am which was so loud that you felt like sleeping on the dance floor. One day, they organized a party which started as late as 11 PM which is annoying if you look for a good night sleep.

i was very sick during my stay so they took care of me and upgraded me to a private room, the staff is super helpful and kind. really comforting
cold shower, loud music (dorms are next to the speakers)
7.0
I had a comfortable private room, which was clean and had a nice bed. I stayed on a Monday night which was fairly quiet and pleasant. However, I heard the other nights there are loud, wild, debaucherous parties, so if you're looking for a quiet place, do not stay here except on a Monday. I really enjoyed the swimming space, which was a swimming pool carved around the sea. The views were really nice.
Some of the food and drinks were a bit pricey. Some of the music was too loud.
