Close to all the action in Bocas Town
Pros: close to the action in Bocas Town; affordable Cons: Can be too close to the action in Bocas Town, especially on weekends with load music and fireworks shows at 2 am. Concrete floors transmit noise from adjacent rooms with ease. 20-something crowd can be very boisterous, especially if partaking to adult beverages on the weekend. It's much more a hostel with private rooms than a b&b.

Very laid back, friendly place
I really enjoyed my stay here. The manager was always very nice and made sure I was comfortable. They were very respectful with quiet time until 9 a.m. in the morning, which was nice. My bed was very comfortable and the room was clean. All in all, a great place for the price!

Perfect location, great amenities and value!
First of all, it is steps from the docks you will land at when arriving to Bocas Town. The amenities are amazing! Roof top patio to enjoy, a kitchen with shared fridges to make your own meals while staying in Bocas.. A nice dining area to chill with fellow travelers. And the rooms- spotless. Clean beds, clean sheets, clean towels, clean floors. One of the best we stayed in. The AC worked perfectly (for Canadians like us who need it). It was also very safe and the owner is such a great guy! We recommended this location to everyone.

B & B hotel
Our stay at the B & B Surfari was ok. The room was clean and the beds ok...mattresses a little too soft. The reason I said I would not recommend this place to a friend is for two reasons; the first is because the Surfari calls itself a B & B but food was not offered at all. No breakfast included or even available. Every B & B we have ever stayed in had breakfast included. The young lady who checked us in was very friendly and helpful and directed us to a really good place to eat for dinner and breakfast that was just down the street. The second reason was the smell of sewage that was almost overwhelming. I'm not sure exactly where it was coming from but it was nasty. It might not have been from the hotel but it would make it hard to recommend this place to a friend for those reasons. Also, we were overcharged for our room but the hotel and Expedia both worked hard to get it corrected so we appreciated that very much.
