Lock in a great price for Faro del Colibri - rated 8.7 by recent guests.

to get started.

Jumping into the water from the patio was the best! Friendly staff, they were also flexible and let us shift our stay by 1 day without any extra charges.

The location is fantastic, your own waterfront room where you can dive into the water from your own private patio. Luz's breakfasts were great, always served with juice, coffee, fruit, cake and your choice of eggs or pancakes. Sit, relax and watch the world go by with views of the main island and mainland. It's only a 3 minute water taxi to the main island which has all the shops, restaurants, services and amenities you need. It was pouring rain on our first night but we were checked in without haste and got to watch a thunderstorm while sitting in bed over the water.

Very nice place! Boat taxis did not bother us at all, liked that it was super easy to get one. Friendly and helpful staff, very good breakfast as well!

Loved our stay!! Staff really friendly! Laundry service was quick and not too expensive( 10 dollar for a bag) breakfast was good!

Unique experience sleeping in a hut over the water, we loved our own private deck and access to the sea. It was a perfect final night in bocas location as it was easy to get to bocas town for dinner and to the airport the next day.

Bryher, United Kingdom

We stayed at the place for 1 week and it was beautiful. With the location on Carenero you need to take a water taxi to get to places and we enjoyed that a lot - it is very easy to find one. The breakfast has limited options but was always good, especially the pancakes are delicious. From your terrace you can watch the fish in the clear blue water and jump right in. There are several beaches in walking distance and super beautiful! Room service came daily and cleaned everything.

Amazing bungalows above the water, very luxury and way better than the photos can show! This place is amazing and only a one minute boat ride off Isla Colon.

The bathroom and shower could use a bit of an update, their showing their age. There are lots of water taxis going by sun-up to sun-down, but hey it's an island and you're in your own bungalow over the water. Would be nice to have access to a microwave.

As is unfortunately common in developing countries, the septic system is unable to flush toilet paper, which is less than pleasant to dispose of in a trash can. They did have sufficient air freshener in the bathroom though.
Very friendly service. Unbeatable location.

First time ever the sand fleas were noticeable on the island. As far as the hotel, had an expected great visit.
I have been coming here a couple times a year to rest and relax, read a book and do some snorkeling right of the deck to the casitas and always have a great time. Colono Island is a quick boat ride, 3 minutes, and yet you feel you are so far from the main island. Wonderful, happy staff who are very attentive.....always remember me when I arrive. I will continue to stay at "Casitas Amarillo" as the locals call it when I visit Bocas. Their breakfast is good and filling always with fruit, cereal, small piece of homemade cake and an egg option. Perfect place to anchor in to Bocas with all of the tours you can have arranged and be picked up at their private Water Taxi Dock. Thumbs up always from me. Thanks Faro de Colibri.

Enjoyed it all! Not too much going on on Isla Carenero as it is small. But we didn’t mind catching a water taxi over to Bocas for more restaurant choices.
Right over the water on Isla Carenero. Very quiet as it is away from the busy-ness of Bocas town and only a 1$ water taxi there during the day (2$ at night). The cabin itself was super clean and cozy and had everything you need. Very relaxing. They have a restaurant for breakfast you must let them know the day before if you want it, we forgot so didn’t have it but it smelled good!

This place was awesome. First of all, the cabana was completely clean, with no sand on the floor, there were all facilities inside, including hair dryer, AC, tv. But the most perfect part - you can jump into the water just from your private platform, which is connected to your house.

AVOID THIS PLACE!!! Unfortunately we didn't read the reviews on Tripadvisor, so do that! The owner and the housekeeping woman send actually the POLICE to us!!?! At 10am they knocked on our door. Our crime was that we have dared to complain about not having internet for 5 days although it was included in the high price (550$!!!) we had paid. The staff always said it's our phone's failure. But the internet didn't work for the neighbors neather. In the last morning we simply wanted to talk with the owner, who we saw just on the first day. The owner offered us an extra night for 80$!! Which was of course not an option. When we refused it he simply put down the phone and it was not anymore possible for us to talk with him because the housekeeping lady denied to call him again or give us his number. Instead she called the police! We were totally shocked. The police first thought that we don't want to pay for the accomodation, although it was the first thing we had to do upon arrival without even seeing our room. When we showed them the creditcard receipt and explained them the situation they didn't understand why they were called. They thought maybe we don't want to leave the room, although it was 10am, one hour before the check out and we were just packing our luggage. We have video and photo documentation about the whole scenery!! It was very humiliating for us to be on our vacation for so much money in a situation where we have to face to weaponed policemen like criminals! Furthermore.. next to this place are passing all the time the motorboats, it's like sitting next no the motorboat highway. It lasts until late night and starts early in the morning. The water in front of your house reaches your pants. If you want to swim further away expect your head is cut down by one of this boats. You also have a construction next to the property so don't forget your earplugs.

It is very noisy with the boats going by all day and night. It would be better if there were stairs or a ladder to go in for a dip off the balconies. We also heard a lot of music not sure if it was from the Island or from Carnival but it was loud.
The Bungalows are cute and fun for 1 or 2 nights.

Loved this spot. Each bungalow sits over the water. It's so cool to fall asleep to the sounds of the water. The hotel has a little "restaurant" where they serve daily breakfast. The food was tasty and the view of the water is amazing. The staff is kind and helpful. The room isn't anything fancy, but it's comfortable, with solid wifi, tv, and a strong AC. We LOVED staying over the water and even jumped off our little patio directly into the water. Loved it here!

“Home Base for Bocas”

The only thing I would add is more like a caution (it is in no way the owner's issue). Bocas is a busy place so expect to hear music, motor boats, etc. If you are seeking peace and tranquility then perhaps look to more isolated spots away from Bocas Town.
Awesome location--you can see it from Bocas Town and the water taxi picks you up right off the dock. If you're planning on spending the days out on the water it's perfect. We stayed in the lighthouse--immaculate and fun design.
