Everything! The staff were beautiful, rooms amazing and facilities were great. We had so much fun on the water slide and loved the extras, like the jungle walk. The room wasn’t too hot at all. We had the most memorable time.

This place was just magical: beautiful from the outside and inside, the kitchen was well equipped, the bed was comfortable, and it's in the quiet part of the town where you can feel there is an actual community, where people greet each other. I loved it! Thank you, Gregory and the team, for such an experience - I hope to be back!!!

The atmosphere there was great! Things to improve: electric plugs on each bed (just one or two in each room for 4 people) , and bigger places to accommodate your belongings (small lockers in the public hall)

El Jaguar was the first hostel where I have arrived by boat; there are hammocks and loungers near the jetty where you can sit and look out over the lagoon. There's a well organised kitchen with huge fridge freezers and the staff are friendly and helpful.

Amazing deck, can swim directly from hostel, nice tunes and food. Welcome drink on arrival. Activities organised. Off the centre of town but not a bad thing as there’s currently construction in town.

The location is perfect, just one min away from Bocas town. The hostel got a lot of potential, keep in mind is a party hostel so it's very loud, but if you are looking to meet new people this is the right place.

Enrique is an excellent host, so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. He even took our children out on a fishing trip. We were upgraded to the larger room with it’s own kitchen. The hostel is in a great location, and has a dock right in front. There is a mini market right next door, and some lovely restaurants nearby.
