Family hotels and homes in Boca del Drago

Althought S Boutique Hotel wasn't in our plans, we we're beyond glad to experience it. We had a disappointing AirBnB nearby for two nights, which we ended up cancelling, leaving a day early. In this light, we booked S Boutique Hotel and messaged them, letting them know our situation and see if we could at least leave our bags and wait around before check-in. We made it to S around 9am. The first thing that called our attention was the thoughtfulness in design, respecting the natural elements, showcasing beautifully arranged wood, which dominates the landscape, supported by elegantly exposed concrete, all encompassed by the lush greenery around Isla Colon, with tasteful touches of glass, white contrasting pool chair sets, black painted bamboo dividers, etc. But the most striking aspect of S was the warm smile and professional behaviour of Jean. He immediately made us feel welcome, offering us coffee (which, again, comes in beautiful and thoughtful tableware) and check-in us smoothly. His conduct is one of competence, politeness, mixed with gentleness and friendliness, but most noticeably, humbleness and unpretentious, a rare combination we did not encounter much in Panama. Since we didn't had data, we couldn't see that Jean already had replied regarding our bags, reiterating us that the room was ready and just after our coffee, he guided us to it. The room follows the same natural theme. Concrete, white, wood, glass, elegant details in wicker. A citrussy essential oil hit us softly upong entering our room, enhancing our stay even further. Late at night, for some reason, water wasn't coming from the shower. I went down to ask Jean, which, along one of the owners, immediately went and fixed the issue in a matter of minutes. Again, the effectiveness in problem solving along with professionality in the way everyone at S carry themselves speaks highly of not just the Hotel, but the ideas, values and passions that had led this hotel to be made.

Wonderful place if you want peace and quiet. Neat, clean and large room with well-functioning AC. Friendly owners. When the last bus has left, it's just you, the sea and the jungle..

The hotel is beautiful, surrounded by nature. There are monkeys, agoutis and many birds. The beach is clear and deserted, a paradise to relax! The property is huge and there is even a waterfall that you can visit on a 1-hour walk, but I didn't manage to do the tour because I didn't have time enough. The room is comfortable, clean and airy. The staff was very helpful and attentive. I highly recommend the stay!

Amazing stay, nice big rooms, outstanding breakfast!! And over all the kindness of the family that host us!! You're amazing guys!

Wow! Just wow! This is a dreamer's paradise. Our room was like a fairytale. Sound of waves lulled us to sleep. I kept wondering about how much love was poured into building this work of art hotel. This hidden gem made our trip to Bocas 100 times better

The service from tje staff is second to none, very prompt and helpful. The place is very well kept. A very good option for Bocas

I do like boat Hauses... you sleep here with the waves... the house itself is decorated by Claudine an artist from Montreal... ver, warm welcomed and had a fantastic stay

This is an amazing hotel that stands out as one of the best that we ever stayed at all over the world. The location is amazing right on water and in an area that is quieter than bocas town yet close enough by water taxi. Snorkeling can be done right at the hotel where you can see a lot of beautiful fish and even starfish. The owners are amazing and so helpful in figuring out the best activities. Breakfast is delicious. Rooms are updated and very beautifully decorated.

A beautiful safe place in paradise. Kitchen was clean and had everything needed to prepare meals. Was always someone on the property for any needs. Hostel was cute and close to the surf!!! I loved the amazing snorkeling right on the property with sandy bottom. The breakfast was simple but nice to start the day.

Near to the beach, very nice stuff, good bar and restaurants, it was totally chill. Exactly what I needed.
