A french touch in paradise

Un lieu paradisiaque, une cuisinière hors paire, des hôtes très sympathiques, un passage indispensable loin du tumulte de bocas. Une halte reposante dans un écrin de verdure.

Si pudiéramos darle un 12 se lo daríamos! Un oasis en medio del mar. No dudéis en alojaros en este hotel. Benoit y Fabianne hacen todo lo posible por que estéis a gusto. Cabe destacar las increíbles comidas que prepara Fabianne, todo delicioso! Un lugar para desconectar, relajarse y disfrutar. Se lo recomendamos a cualquier persona que busque tranquilidad en Bocas. Un gran punto a favor poder usar los kayaks y padel surf gratis. Muchas gracias por todo. Ojalá podamos volver pronto. Daniel & Eloísa from Spain

Es war die beste Unterkunft unseres Panama Urlaubs. Die Location ist einzigartig in den Mangroven und es macht echt Spaß, mit dem Kajak durchzupaddeln und zu schnorcheln. Es ist allgemein sehr ruhig und super zum Entspannen. Das Essen war unglaublich lecker und preislich sehr fair. Die Gastgeber sind sehr sehr freundlich und sympathisch. Wir können diese Unterkunft gar nicht genug empfehlen. Wir kommen wieder, wenn wir in Panama sind. Merci beaucoup!

Fabienne und Benoît sind die besten Hosts, die wir je hatten. Zurückhaltend, aber immer da, immer freundlich und zuvorkommend. Benoît hat mit und für uns tolle Ausflüge geplant, zum Red Frog Beach, zu Delphinen und zum Schnorcheln sowie auf die Bilderbuch-Insel Zapatilla 2. Noch mehr positiv hervorzuheben ist aber das Essen. Es gibt ein tolles Frühstück mit Früchten, selbstgebackenem Brot, gutem Kaffee, Eiern - wie man sie möchte - und Kuchen. Abends gibt es ein 3-Gänge-Menu für nur 25$ mit tollen Vorspeisen wie Rote-Beete-Kaltschale, tollem Fisch und Fleisch und exzellentem französischem Nachtisch, z.B. Tarte au citron und Mousse aux Chocolat. Die Unterkunft ist auch sehr schön, der Pool gut zum Abkühlen und die Umgebung paradiesisch.
