We went to Bocas with another hotel reservation (Olas) but in our way to there we advice that it was kind of hippie-kids hotel so we decide to walk and see... and we find Lucelly and Adriano, there are such a nice couple they make our stay very relaxing and memorable. I was sad that we couldnt get to stay... More

I dont know why it is not listed in Carenero Island, as I believe it would then be rated as the best option there. Very nice rooms at a really convenient location. Hotel is close to Bocas town, just a 2 minutes boat ride from town, but since the rooms are not facing the town it is really very quiet... More

We stayed here for 4 nights. The rooms are standard with little frills, but the price was right. The best thing about this place is the location over the water with a private deck. The under deck lighting at night is a fun touch and you can watch some fish from your deck whenever you want. There isn't a pool,... More

We spend a few days in Bocas del Toro and where very happy, that we decided to stay in Faro del Colibri. The little wooden houses are puristic furnished and very clean. They have these small balconies to the sea, a wonderful place to rest and enjoy the sun or jump into the water to refresh. The owners are very... More

My girlfriend and I stayed in Faro del Colibri for 4 nights, in October 2012, and enjoyed every second of it. The cabins are beautiful. You have your own deck, and you can jumo to the water whenever you like (huge advantage, there aren't so many nearby beaches). The air condition works very well, as well as the room facilities....

Stunning. Swim right out from your room into clear, warm Caribbean waters. Very clean, good air conditioning, friendly owner. Carenero is a significantly more beautiful place to stay than Colon, and I couldn't recommend El Faro more. It can be a little noisy due to boats driving back and forth and the constant partying at Bocastown, but I'm not sure... More

We stayed at Faro del Colibri for 4 nights last june and we had a fantastic time. We had planned for 2 nights but we loved it so much we stayed longer. We first stayed in Bocas, then one night in Bastimientos but I suggest staying at Faro instead and doing day trip from there. That is what we should... More

Review of El Faro del Colibri for TravelAdvisor 2/22/12- Be aware when dealing with the owners! If you were given a fair deal for what you paid you were more fortunate than me. Adriano initially promised me I could have the cabin until the end of the month. I had paid $400 of the agreed amount of $900. after spending... More
