Heerlijk!

10.0

Prachtige plek op idyllische locatie. Alles nieuw, schoon, netjes! Je kon gebruik maken van de keuken en er waren fietsen die je kon gebruiken. Leuke restaurantjes op loopafstand.

− Ondanks de leenfietsen ligt het wel wat afgelegen: een golfkarretje huren is aan te bevelen

7.0

הגישה לבריכה היתה מהיציאה מהחדר המטבח ( היה לשימוש אך החל משעה 10:00)

− המרחק והגישה למקום יש כ 5קמ בדרך לא סלולה. ועוד כ5 ק״מ נוספים בדרך סלולה. כל נסיעה מהמלון לאזור מרכזי לרכישת מוצרים בסיסיים או למצוא מקום לאכול מצריך נסיעה במונית או שאטל בגלל שהיינו 6 אז היינו צריכים להתפצל כל יציאה כזאת כ40 דולר לכיוון רק כדי לאכול או לקנות מצרכים.כל זה לא נאמר כאשר שאלתי את המארחים. מדריכת היוגה היתה בחופש כך שהשיקול שלי בסגירת המקום היה הניתוק ושיעורי היוגה,גם זה לא נאמר לי למרות שביררתי על כך מול המקום. השימוש במטבח היה רק משעה 10 דבר המגביל אותנו בתכנון היום .

Beautiful wildlife and lovely staff but would not recommend because of practical problems. Please read full review!

5.0

Beautiful surroundings, wildlife, rooms/villas. Staff extremely nice, accommodating and very good and pointing out animals nearby!

− No air conditioning. Asked not to flush used toilet paper, but to put it in bins (uncovered) next to toilets. Location awful - half an hour from town (allow at least $20 each way by taxi), only 10 minutes of which is on a road, the remainder on a VERY bumpy dirt track. Not for the faint-hearted. No access by water taxi. Miles of beautiful beaches but too dangerous to even paddle in the water - solely for surfing.

Un séjour très agréable

8.0

La proximité avec la mer, le coin un peu isolé paradisiaque

− La distance entre l’hôtel et le centre-ville de Bocas nécessite si on a pas de voiture de payer systématiquement un aller à 15 $ ce qui rend la visite de l’île coûteuse.

Guest review

10.0

Wir waren 5 Nächte im Bluff Beach Retreat und hatten dort einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt. Die Unterkunft liegt mitten im Urwald und gleichzeitig ganz nah am weitläufigen Bluff Beach. Gerade diese Lage hat uns sehr gut gefallen, und durch die Natur konnte man auch viele Tiere beobachten. Die eher rustikale Gestaltung mit viel Holz passt perfekt in die Umgebung. Das Personal war während unseres ganzen Aufenthalts sehr freundlich, aufmerksam und hilfsbereit. Auch bei der Planung von Aktivitäten war das Hotel sehr unterstützend. Wir haben dort Yoga, Surfen und eine Bootstour mit Schnorcheln gebucht und uns hat alles sehr gut gefallen. Das Frühstück war abwechslungsreich, mit lokalen Produkten, und für uns definitiv ein Pluspunkt. Die Unterkunft selbst war sehr sauber und insgesamt einfach ein Ort, an dem man sich schnell wohlfühlt. Man ist dort etwas abseits vom Zentrum, mit dem Taxi fährt man ungefähr 30 Minuten und zahlt etwa 20 Dollar pro Strecke. Es gibt aber auch einen Bus. Uns hat das nicht gestört, weil die Umgebung wirklich sehr schön ist und es auch in der Nähe Restaurants gibt. Insgesamt hat es uns sehr gut gefallen und wir haben uns dort sehr wohlgefühlt.

Wonderful staff and beautiful location.

The staff were wonderful as was the location. We loved the “remoteness” of the resort.
