    I recently stayed at Skully's House for a week-long beach holiday and it was amazing. The staff was always friendly and helpful, and the laid-back atmosphere was exactly what I was looking for. The ATV tour was a highlight, with stunning views from the Bluff. The location was perfect, with easy beach access and on-site restaurants. The dorms were unique and comfortable, offering privacy and convenience with individual power sockets, fans, and bed lights. The kitchen was well-equipped and the sunbeds by the terrace were a great place to relax. I can't wait to come back.

    The hostel is right on the beach with a big pool and many sunbeds, perfect for relaxation. The rooms are clean, beds are comfortable, and the showers have hot water. The owner is friendly and often chats with guests, creating a great atmosphere. There are two well-equipped kitchens, one with a beach view. The food at the restaurant is delicious, and guests get a discount on beer. The hostel also offers a unique pirate theme, making it a truly memorable experience.

    I do recommend this hotel.

    Loved the beautiful view of the ocean from our room. The staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any questions or concerns.- Convenient location, easily accessible by taxi or bike, and close to various attractions.

    The Wi-Fi was unreliable and often slow, both inside and outside the property. There were limited options for dining, especially if you wanted to stay at the hotel and not go into town.

    Loved the beachfront location and the beautiful view of the ocean. Enjoyed the variety and convenience of having an on-site restaurant and bar.- Appreciated the option to rent electric bikes and explore the area.

    Uncomfortable encounters with a flirty bartender who made inappropriate comments. Lack of attention to comfort and privacy in the hostel.

    I had an incredible stay at Skully's House Villa! From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us warmly and offered a complimentary welcome drink. Even though we arrived early in the morning, our room was ready sooner than expected, showing their dedication to excellent service. The spacious and clean room offered a stunning view of the sea. The owners, a lovely couple from LA, were always checking in to ensure our comfort and even addressed any concerns about the hot water situation. The common area with a clean pool and onsite bar created a fantastic vibe. Skully's House Villa exceeded my expectations.

    Can't think of anything!

    We had an amazing stay at Skully's House! The unique pirate atmosphere and direct beach access made for a truly unforgettable experience. The dorm beds were arranged in a clever and comfortable way, offering a high degree of privacy. The kitchen had a big fridge and a wide range of utensils, perfect for preparing meals. The view from the terrace was breathtaking, and we loved spending our afternoons on the sunbeds by the sea. Despite a few minor drawbacks like the distance from the city and supermarkets, and the lousy wifi, we highly recommend Skully's House for an unforgettable and comfortable stay in Panama. I will definitely recommend this hostel.

    Skully's House offered great value for the money with a beautiful room and a beachfront view. The staff was friendly and attentive, making our stay even more enjoyable.

    The hotel breakfast could use some improvement, particularly in terms of variety and quality.

    We absolutely loved our stay at Skully's House Villa! The location was perfect, just a short taxi ride away from the town of Bocas. We enjoyed renting electric bikes from Skully's to explore the area even more. The private beach was incredible, and we loved having access to free beach furniture. The restaurant on site provided great food, although we would have appreciated more local options. The bar was also a convenient addition. We enjoyed using the pool tables and spending time by the pool. The owner was lovely and made us feel welcome. we had a fantastic experience and have already recommended Skully's to others!

    As young travelers, we loved the clean and comfortable rooms at Skully's. Access to town was easy, but honestly, we didn't want to leave. the pool and restaurant right on the beach were fantastic. the picture-perfect beaches and great surf nearby were a dream. And the quad rental with acres of land for riding was a thrilling experience. the swings over the ocean under the shade tree provided the perfect spot for a quiet day. the owners and staff were amazing, knowledgeable about the area, and attentive to our needs. Skully's is truly a little slice of paradise that we highly recommend for anyone vacationing in the area.

    Felt great, no complaints.

    The rooms have a cool bunk bed setup with ocean views. The food is delicious and there is a fully functional kitchen with an ocean view. The staff are great and they offer free shuttles to Bocas town. The highlight was the quad tour through the jungle on their private land, a really unique experience.

    skully's house villa is the best place to stay in bocas! the location on the beach is fabulous, away from the noisy town but easy to access. the dorms are roomy and well-equipped, and the staff is lovely and helpful. the beds are solid and comfortable, unlike those squeaky steel bunks in other hostels.

    One small thing was missing.

    I recently had an amazing stay at a charming beachfront villa in Bocas del Toro. From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the stunning views and warm hospitality. The private room I stayed in was brand new, impeccably clean, and had a breathtaking ocean view. The food at the restaurant was delicious, and if you prefer to cook, there was a fully functional kitchen with a view of the ocean. The staff, especially Pablo, went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was exceptional. I also had the opportunity to rent a quad and explore the owner's private land in the jungle, which was such a unique and thrilling experience. The villa even had a pool with ocean views, perfect for a refreshing swim. I can't say enough about the amazing time I had at Skully's House Villa. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bocas del Toro.
