Our experience here was nothing short of amazing. The place is tranquil and cozy, with stunning views and a beautifully maintained garden. Meghan and Ryan are warm and welcoming hosts, and the breakfasts were varied, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Meghan is also a truly gifted yoga teacher. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay! Deserves more than a 10!

I have no complaints

We had a fantastic stay. The place was squeaky clean, looked brand new, very comfy and just awesome. Hot water, reliable electricity, clean sheets and towels, etc. After reading many of Bocas hotel reviews with all kinds of issues, i was scared.. do not fret: you got it all here. And the breakfasts are great! Dinner is solid too. We had some pretty solid thunderstorms and had no issues with electricity/plumbing. Location: honestly, i think this hits the sweet spot- you are just $5 pp away from Colon, so you can easily/quickly/affordably go out for dinner if you wish, or you can stay in. It’s just very conveniently located where it’s close enough and yet far enough so you get that “up in the trees” alone in the jungle feel. Solid cell phone coverage everywhere on the property. The beach: if you have “small children” - there is a lovely private beach 5 (2?) min paddle away. It is grassy bottom not white sand… but it’s just yours… so bring water shoes if squimish and enjoy. My son and i loved it. And the privacy was to die for… so you have two options: jump/snorkel off the hotel dock (no boat action and clean water if not stormy) or walk/paddle 5 min to a nice shallow beach. Bottom line: Honestly, i travel a lot, and oftentimes 10/10 booking.com places reflect the overall location rather than the quality of the property. This is not the case. This is by far one of the best bang for your buck you will ever get. Do it.

Wished we could have stayed a bit longer!

The hosting family was exceptionally helpful, courteous, and kind. Breakfast was delicious and varied from day to day, and the same goes for dinner—simply outstanding. Every meal (when not plant-based) had a thoughtfully prepared vegan option, which was a delightful touch. The internet connection was impressively fast throughout my stay. I’ve traveled extensively, and I can confidently say this was one of the best hotels/lodges I’ve ever experienced—perhaps even the best when considering the price-to-quality ratio.

Part of my dinner order was forgotten one night, and unfortunately, no effort was made to correct it after I brought it to the owner’s attention. Also, if you’re someone who gets bitten by mosquitos easily (even with bug spray), this might be a challenge—it’s to be expected in this kind of climate, but it’s definitely something to be prepared for.

The property is absolutely gorgeous—lush greenery, peaceful surroundings, and plenty of wildlife all around. It really felt like an escape into nature. The breakfasts were consistently delicious and well-prepared, a great way to start each day.

Nothing at all – everything was even better than expected.

The location is absolutely magical – surrounded by lush jungle and water, it’s the perfect escape to reconnect with nature. The yoga sessions were inspiring and grounding, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and at peace. The food was fresh, healthy, and delicious – a true highlight!

Breakfast starts only at 8:30am

Great location if you like to be off-grid, the hike to Hospital point from this hostel is a nice trip that ends in a nice beach. The staff also very friendly, it's clean and the food is great.

I absolutely loved the spacious bungalow with lots of windows and the big porch, all surrounded by nothing but tropical garden. The houses are far enough from each other so that each one has its privacy. I enjoyed Meghan’s yoga class a lot, the yoga studio in the treetops with ocean view is amazing and I was allowed to use it for my own practice, too. Breakfast and dinner at the beautifully located restaurant was very good, each day different and I liked that it was mainly made with ingredients from the garden. I had a bit of bad luck with the weather but it looked like the reef in front of the property is worth checking out with snorkeling gear which is provided by the hotel as well as kayaks and SUP boards. I thought it was easy to get anywhere by watertaxi and Meghan and Ryan were always happy to help with anything.

It's hard to describe how incredible this place is, you just have to go and see it for yourself. Meg and Ryan have built a small paradise on Isla Solarte. The landscape is lush, the accommodations are perfection, the lunch and dinner options were all exceptional. There isn't much to do on Isla Solarte itself, but this is such a great place to unwind and perhaps use on the front or back-end of a busier trip. Would happily stay again!

The property was absolutely beautiful. Incredibly peaceful and relaxing. The hosts were really friendly and happy to help with absolutely anything. The food was really tasty and all locally sourced. They had paddle boards and kayaks free for guests to use to explore the surrounding area which was a wonderful way to spend the day. The yoga class on Sunday morning was really relaxing and fun.

Nothing!

What a special place. If you’re looking for off-the-beaten-path serenity, look no further. The room and amenities were first class - including access to a kitchen adjacent to our room, for early morning coffee. The view was spectacular - and we were fortunate enough to watch a sloth grazing just a few trees away from our balcony. Meghan and Ryan were both wonderful hosts and incredible chefs - serving up fresh, unique flavors every night (we ate all 3 of our dinners on site, and recommend you do the same!). Meghan’s yoga class left us feeling recharged, and ready to tour the other islands, all just a quick water taxi away from the oasis of Solarte. When we return to Bocas, we’ll definitely be coming back to Roam!

Beautiful property, surrounded by tranquil, stunning gardens. The wildlife is incredible. Keep your eyes peeled for the super cute baby Cayman, probably sunbathing in the little pond in the centre of the garden. Check out the Reef just 5 m from the properties dock. There are some amazing fish and coral to view. Yoga was fabulous, the view even better. Incredible studio high up in the property nestled in the hills, with one of the best views you’ll ever get at a yoga practice. Meghan is probably the kindest most responsive host I’ve ever stayed with. She literally goes out of her way to make sure you have the best stay. Extremely charming and knowledgeable. The food was lovely and you can tell everyone at Roam is trying to impress you. Loved it and would definitely visit again.

We highly recommend to anyone staying at Roam! This place is heaven on earth. Meghan and Ryan are amazing hosts and we felt wholeheartedly welcomed. They also gave great recommendations on how to best explore the Bocas Islands. The room: We stayed at the ocean view deluxe room and loved the view of the beautiful garden with palm trees and the sea in the background. The room was spacious with a big bed and everything was super clean! The additional kitchen was very well equipped. The food: Besides the pretty garden, the food at Roam is another thing that makes this place special. They prepare the food with amazing detail, love and creativity. Especially the dinner was a culinary highlight for us! If Meghan would release her own cookbook we would be the first ones to buy it! The panorama view from the restaurant area is mesmerizing, and we even saw dolphins from that spot. The property: During our stay, we saw a lot of animals i.e. sloths, red frogs, hummingbirds and more. Since Roam is remote you can really enjoy the calmness and escape the busy Isla Colon. Meghan, Ryan and the staff at Roam gave their best to ensure that we had a pleasant stay. Thank you so much for creating this wonderful place and the experience at your place will always be in our hearts! We loved our stay at Roam so much that we even changed our travel plans to return to this place for a few more nights. This place is just amazing and we cannot stretch enough that we advise everyone to skip the busy main island and stay in this paradise! 😊
