'easy to get to and friendly. a better bar would be nice even though there are other options nearby. and water in the room, even if it needs to be paid for if used. thank you!'

'Great Owners & Staff. Welcoming and inviting. Property is super cute. Swimming pool with swim up bar. Bungalows over the water and on land. AC doesn't cool well and it stays humid in the room area. Other then that great place to come for food, music and swimming with friends or family. The Caribbean water is clear. You can walk the docks and see starfish, stingrays, fish and even nurse sharks. Water Taxi costs $2/pp from Bocas Town each way. The owners beautiful art work is for sale on site....

The room was clean except that the place is infested with some type of termite so there’s a coating of their discharge...

'Lodging Options on Carenero Island are quite limited. We are really fortunate that we chooses the Hotel Dona Mara. The delightful owners, English speaking, are very proud of their property, keeping everything very clean, including the nice sandy beach directly in front. They serve a tasty free breakfast of eggs, breads, fruit and delicious coffee. Hot water was plentiful, WiFi signal was adequate for our needs. Of note their son owns and operates the very popular restaurant Octo, rated...
