    I loved this beautiful property with fruit trees & varied flora & fauna and the old fashioned verandah suitable for sitting for hours and enjoying the view of the ocean across the street. My friends & I occupied four of five rooms that shared the verandah of an old- fashioned "plantation style" house! Breakfasts were delicious & the hosts who live on the property were full of information about Bocas!

    I thought it was on the beach so I was a little disappointed that there was a road between inn and beach. Other than that we would definitely go back there in a heartbeat.

    The food, hosts, chef, pool, room and especially the pillows.

    From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the wonderful hosts, Mark and Sharon. Their beautiful property is surrounded by stunning foliage, and its just a 5-minute taxi ride outside of town. Our room was spacious and offered great views. The highlight was definitely the pool area, a tranquil oasis perfect for relaxing in the sun or shade if you prefer. Each morning, we enjoyed delicious homemade breakfasts. Mark and Sharon made sure every guest felt welcome and offered lots of recommendations. The combination of outstanding hospitality, picturesque surroundings, and comfortable accommodations makes this B&B a gem. We highly recommend Sand Dollar for anyone seeking a relaxing getaway. We will be back for sure.

    There is a road right in front of the B&B. In case you are light sleeper, this could wake you up early in the morning.

    Comfortable B&B with a personal touch from it’s very friendly owners! This is a nice place to relax just outside of Bocas town.

    The road in front can be a bit loud. And there is some construction next door.

    Kathe and Martin are the most friendly hosts we could ask for. They are helpful, very kind to our kids and know the area very well. Dama provided the best breakfast we had in Panama. It was a perfect start to our day.

    Breakfast each morning was amazing and every day we got something different, selfmade by Damaris. Katy organized everything for us, she booked all the trips and was just an angel. We had the best stay and loved also the house, with the garden and the pool.

    I loved everything about this property, from the distance from downtown to the wonderful hosts and service. I slept to the sound of the waves and woke to birdsong, it was a very convenient and relaxing 4 night stay as a solo traveler. Sharon was very accommodating in all aspects, and I would definitely stay at her place again.

    The property was spotless and so clean and well kept! The owners went out of their way to help us with tours and ideas of what to do during our time on the islands.

    Great location a few kilometers away from Bocas town. Easily accessible by bicycle or taxi. The house is very nice, with a big tropical garden and a very nice pool to relax. Breakfast was delicious, with a beautiful view of the garden. Very peaceful at night with a nice breeze. Didn't need AC. Marc and Sharon were very nice hosts.

    The bedroom needed better sound insulation.

    The breakfast was excellent. Among other trees in the garden were coconut palms and the gardener cut some fruit and we had absolutely fresh coconut water which was amazing. The swimming pool and environs were idyllic. Lots of native birds to view and enjoy.

    When we booked it said $675. We put our credit card in and when we got there they asked for $700 cash. So you can’t paid by card which was an in convenience. It also said air conditioning but there was none. We had a fan and that was all. Also for the price they charge you should at least get a tv. There was none Others than that it was clean and the owners and staff were really nice.

    It was good
