I was in a 4beds dorm: the beds were huge, had space to put our stuff and personnal plugs to charge devices, and after the first night they even installed curtains for more privacy, which is a must ! Confortable bathroom too. I loved the hostel ambiance, the welcome drink (that you could join every day), it was easy to meet people while still feeling a very relaxed and chill atmosphere, far away from the party hostels. The deck was perfect to do yoga, tan, jump on the water... As in the rest of the town its impossible to see the water as its only hostels and restaurant, it was nice to always enjoy the view from here. The volunteers working here were also very kind. You can take tour from them if you want (compare the peice though) The location is also good, not so long to walk to the "center" while calm. I could have stayed here much longuer !

The location is nice, near center of the town, and it is convenient to go to the central city. Surrounding shops, restaurants, bars are plentiful, locals live. The room facilities are sufficient. The water pressure was small and not very warm.

Great staff! Enrique and his family are great hosts and are actively trying to make Bastimentos island an even better destination for visitors. Atmosphere is the nicest we had in Bocas! Wizard is one of the most beautiful and relaxing beaches in the archipelago (they are building a new track that should make it much easier to reach it). Big room with a nice air conditioner

Martha was my mama in Bocas. She’s incredibly helpful and lovely. I extended my stay with her twice. Hostal on the sea is a great place- on the water, super close to town, clean and really close to shops/bakery/bars. One of my fave hostels. Gracias por todo Martha. Hasta luego xx

It’s really a lovely hostel right at (above) the water. My room was really great and felt way bigger than it looks on the photos. The owner and the staff were super friendly. I can recommend the happy hour 🤣

El Jaguar was the first hostel where I have arrived by boat; there are hammocks and loungers near the jetty where you can sit and look out over the lagoon. There's a well organised kitchen with huge fridge freezers and the staff are friendly and helpful.

Amazing deck, can swim directly from hostel, nice tunes and food. Welcome drink on arrival. Activities organised. Off the centre of town but not a bad thing as there’s currently construction in town.

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.

Enrique is an excellent host, so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. He even took our children out on a fishing trip. We were upgraded to the larger room with it’s own kitchen. The hostel is in a great location, and has a dock right in front. There is a mini market right next door, and some lovely restaurants nearby.
