Aqui hoy cabañas

La estadía en Aquí Hoy fue PERFECTA. Desde que llegamos Kathy, fue muy atenta y cariñosa con nosotros. Nos incluyeron muy bien. Nos preparó almuerzos y cenas muy ricas y nos trató con mucho respeto y cariño. El lugar siempre estaba limpio y ella muy dispuesta a ayudar con lo que fuera. Ahí mismo ellos tienen lanchas, y kayaks. Marcel te lleva en lancha por un precio módico, a donde quieras ir, también ofrecen tours, nosotros hicimos snorkel y paseamos por los manglares. Muy recomendado! La estadía fue tan buena que de hecho habíamos reservado en otro lugar pero decidimos cancelar y quedarnos acá. El internet funciona bien, no hay tele porque es la idea, desconectarse. Las cosas que no encontramos como secador de pelo, lo pedimos a Kathy y nos lo prestó. Lo mismo con el tema de colgar y lavar ropa. El baño estaba limpio, funcionaba bien. Hay animales en la noche y muchos sonidos distintos de la naturaleza (para que no se asusten). En resumen muchísimas gracias por todo, nos sentimos muy acogidos por ustedes, esperamos verlos pronto ❤️ Amamos todo.

The location is fabulous, and the bedroom was big. Katy, the person who welcomed us and cooked for us, was very nice.

The food was quite expensive for what it was, and while I can understand you have to carry it to that remote place, fruit is very cheap and accessible in Panama, so I was shocked to be served what was clearly canned juice. But my main disappointment was to coincide with a large family (grandparents/parents/children/infant) who, understandably, was very noisy and occupying the space. Lots of shouting, and board planks shaking as the kids were running and jumping on the desk at dinner time... We felt as if we were crashing their party. It's vacation time so not much you can do or say to a family who is having fun, but because the place is advertised as a perfect place a for romantic escape, managers should be careful of who they put together on a remote and limited space upon the water, as this can easily ruin the experience. In the end I was glad we stayed for one night only, and that I wasn't on a romantic trip!

The staff was great! Kathy and Natasha were great and on top of things! They really cared for us as guests!

I may have assumed incorrectly but there was no AC in the units which because of the humidity made for a couple uncomfortable nights.

The hotel itself is nice. There are two cabins with two rooms each built on either side of the dock, with a restaurant and sitting area in the middle. You're right over the water on a deck built on stilts. The room is big and comfortable, with nice sheets and towels and all of that. It's super quiet and dark at night so great for sleeping. This would be okay if you want a place to relax and do nothing. If you want to visit other places in the archipelago it's inconvenient. It's much easier to get boats and organized tours in Bocas Town, but that's a ramshackle little town that's not for everyone. In general, I wouldn't recommend Bocas del Toro as one of the world's great beach vacation destinations. The snorkeling was okay there, but the visibility wasn't great and although there was some coral we didn't see a huge number of fish.

There's not much to do from the hotel. You can't walk anywhere from there. Most activities in Bocas del Toro are on the water. The hotel has its own boat, maybe two, but it's a small place with at most 8 guests so it's not like there are organized tours. You have to ask, it takes a long time to organize, and it costs more than going on a group tour from Bocas town. The advantage I guess is that you get to say where the boat goes, the disadvantage is that the boat is small, doesn't have a cover, is operated by two teenagers, and you can't go as far or visit multiple places (or at least it would be expensive to do so). Our rate included breakfast, but it's not much and there's no choice. You get a small fruit cocktail, scrambled eggs and a couple of pieces of cold toast. There are no options for lunch or dinner except the hotel's restaurant, and prices are very high, with mains costing north of $20.
