The value for money at El Jaguar was great, and the room was spacious and comfortable. The location on Isla Bastimentos was beautiful, with stunning views over the water. The staff at the hostel were friendly and helpful, assisting us with tours and arranging water taxis.
The morning meal could have been improved with a wider variety of options.

The location of this hotel is perfect, with a great terrace overlooking the water where you can relax in hammocks and enjoy the beautiful view. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with the most comfortable bed and pillows I've experienced during my entire trip. The staff is friendly and helpful, always making you feel welcome.
The surrounding vicinity and path leading to the hotel could be a bit dirty and not well-maintained.

The location right on the water was perfect for enjoying beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere. The presence of hammocks added to the overall charm. The room air conditioner worked well in keeping us cool during our stay.
The noise level at night was a bit disruptive due to the nearby bar. The small kitchen was not ideal for the number of guests, and there were occasional water shortages.

The double room at El Jaguar was absolutely amazing! The private bathroom with a shower was clean and convenient. And the sea views from the room were breathtaking. As a nature lover, I couldn't get enough of waking up to the sound of the waves and having a view of the ocean right from my bed.
Honestly, there was nothing that I didn't like about the double room at El Jaguar.

We stayed at El Jaguar for a few days and it was perfect for our getaway. The location is great, right on the Old Bank dock, making it convenient for water taxis. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. The rooms, albeit a bit small, had a lovely ocean view from the window. The hotel also has a common kitchen, hammocks, and is close to a small supermarket. It's a peaceful spot to relax with easy access to nearby beaches.
Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Located directly on the water with hammocks for a relaxing atmosphere. Friendly Argentinian couple volunteers. Air conditioner in rooms actually works. Great value for money. Excellent tour to Zapatilla. Water restrictions but didn't affect planning. Helpful staff/volunteers. Nice rooms with cleaning service. Hammocks by the sea. Close to a supermarket. Great day trip to Bastimentos.

The hotel had a peaceful and serene atmosphere, allowing me to relax and fall asleep to the soothing sound of the waves. the common area with its stunning view of the surrounding islands was a definite highlight.
None of the tours started from the hotel, requiring me to pay for a water taxi to get to Bocas town.

We had such a relaxing stay at this hidden gem. The hammocks on the deck were a perfect spot to unwind, and the friendly staff made us feel right at home. The location was ideal for exploring the town and the provided transportation was a convenient bonus. Despite a few noise issues, using ear plugs solved the problem. we highly recommend this place for a chilled-out getaway.
