It was a nice enough place, but it is suffering from its recommendation in the Lonely Planet. The hotel is a bit run-down with poor service that does not match its high prices.
Visits
- 2009-03-02: Boca Brava was the next stop. We rode a couple of buses starting in Boquette and transferring in David and then again on the road to Boca Brava. Then, a couple of drunken teenagers took us in a boat to the island. We only stayed one night before deciding that there must be better options in Panama.
