This home on the water was converted into a comfortable, quiet hotel. All four rooms are equipped with 2 beds, A/C, clean tiled bathroom and shower. Panamanian art and knick knacks throughout give the feel of staying in some one's home. Beverages are available on the honor system in the hallway refrigerator. Guests mark on a piece of paper what they take and the total is calculated at the end of the stay.

Breakfast, included in the rate, is served every morning on the deck overlooking the water. Fresh breads and fruits, cereal, and beverages are laid out and waiting. I thought that was plenty and then a woman shows up and asks if we would like a hot breakfast. Omelettes, scrambled eggs, and french toast are served up with local hot sauces and jam.

My friend and I got to know the four other guests over breakfast and were invited to go snorkeling with one of the owners, Bob. It was a rare treat to see spots without other tourists.

The other guests had done a deep sea fishing tour and on their last day Bob opened up the kitchen in his adjacent home. The guys lightly breaded and fried kingfish and barracuda, country style baked beans, salad, and macaroni and cheese. They served everyone, including Bob and his 2 workers who had taken such good care of us, out on the deck.

One could spend a week here lounging in a hammock reading books from the exchange shelf, and I almost did. The laidback atmosphere and attention from the owner and staff made for a truly relaxing and enjoyable time.
