Cosmic Crab was one of the most memorable places I’ve ever stayed. As a solo female traveler, I immediately felt welcomed, safe, and comfortable. The property is family-owned, and you can truly feel that in the atmosphere. The owner is incredibly kind and made me feel at ease from the moment I arrived. The overwater bungalow was a dream come true. Falling asleep to the sound of the water and waking up to beautiful views every morning never got old. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for my stay. I also loved how walkable the area was. I enjoyed taking daily walks around Carenero, visiting nearby markets, and exploring the island. The food and drinks were fantastic, especially the Atlantis Colors cocktail and the bacon cheeseburger. The location was perfect because it felt peaceful and relaxing while still being close to everything. Honestly, I didn’t want to leave. I’ve only been home a day and I’m already looking at dates to come back. I would absolutely recommend Cosmic Crab to anyone visiting Bocas, especially solo travelers looking for a place where they’ll feel welcomed and cared for.

Cosmic crab was an amazing place to spend time while visiting Bocas del toro. The place is magical and very colorful. Joan the owner is such an artist 🎨 she painted the whole place with different colors and built her own tables with crab mosaic designs matching her resort, even the planters where mosaic and design by her. Naina's food was absolutely delicious 😋 Junior and Alfredo the bartenders where always aware of our needs, specially at the pool bar. My little bungalow faced the ocean and had a private deck. I totally recommend The Cosmic Crab for a nice relaxing vacation 😎 👌

The place is awesome!, the staff is very helpful and kind. A great place to stay and highly recommended. The hotel seems old, but it gives a nostalgic feeling. A great place if you want to have some rest and connect with the nature.

This place has great views and the food is good. They have a varity of drinks good luck getting service. Service is terrible you have go hunt someone down. They move very slow and never check back on you. The owner could make much more money if they just serve people.

Though we were in one of the cabins we were on the front sp the noise of the bars were so loud, even earplugs didnt work. Quite a bit of rain so lots of biting animals! Pool didnt look very inviting. Had a problem with the plumbing and though we were offered to move we were only there for 3 nights. Though it was Christmas time we thought it was overpriced as did not include breakfast. Everyone was very pleasant and helpful.

We were really hoping for a positive stay, but unfortunately this property did not meet basic comfort or maintenance standards for us. The host was friendly in communication; however, the property itself was very rundown. The bed and bedding were extremely uncomfortable and felt worn, and there was very limited seating in the room. The chairs that were provided were unstable and in poor condition. Much of the property appeared to be in disrepair, including areas of flooring that felt soft and rotting underfoot. The shower had very low water pressure and was broken, and the drain did not work properly, causing water to pool significantly during use. Our room was not serviced or cleaned at any point during our six-night stay. The air conditioner barely worked - the lowest it would get was 23C. Music was so loud from nearby bars I struggled to fall asleep every night. Some nights music went till 6am. Several advertised amenities were not available during our visit, including complimentary breakfast and kayaks. Additionally, the location is close to marshland, which resulted in a large number of insects throughout the stay. While the host was polite and responsive, the overall condition of the property and lack of functioning amenities made our stay quite uncomfortable. We would recommend significant maintenance and clearer listing information for future guests.

I am very positive and always find great things to address, but I failed on this one! Located in really bad and in inaccessible part of the island. There is nothing to do unless you take a boat. LOTS AND LOTS of bugs (noseeems) we couldn't even step outside without being devoured. Off didnt do anything! Food was ok nothing to rave home about I got Fish Skewers, go fish lol. Dog poo was constant annoyance in front of the room door. Pool water was very dirty we couldn't work up courage to go in. There was a small handsoap in the bathroom for toiletries. It was a real disappointment.

We received a room upgrade due to being assigned the wrong room upon arrival. The room was brand new and large with a comfortable bed and huge bathroom. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant meals were excellent with good portions. And the pool with the swim up bar was a welcome treat. portions.

Everything was fantastic, my host Joan was incredibly welcoming and helpful in making my experience in Bocas great. I was fortunate to get a room upgrade which I’m grateful for and got to be in the over water bungalows. The food was delicious, especially the lobster!! The staff, location… I reiterate, everything! Simply enjoyable. Highly recommend

I could have done without loud reggae especially in the morning disturbing the tranquility, some bossa nova perhaps? Dining was a too expensive for mediocre food, drinks expensive & very weak.theres an awful lot of chitras around the area due to plants in standing water surrounding the property but the view off porch from overwater bungalows was amazing! The AC is great & all staff very helpful and kind😊

This is an adorable place on the water! It is walkable to anywhere on Carenero Island! And just a quick water taxi to Bocas town! Cosmic Crab has a beautiful swim up pool over looking the water, jungle and water front cabanas! Very clean, two restaurant s on the site. The coconut shrimp is the best! If you have a boat, you can easily dock alongside the waterfront cabanas. The day I was there they had tropical live music by the pool (Atlantis) . A beautiful little landscape place to hang out either by yourself or with friends. A little tip: If you’re walking around Isla Carenero, you may want to bring sunscreen and bug soray for no see ums. You can add Cosmic Crab to your unique stay in when visiting Bocas del Toro.

I have stayed here many times, and the relaxed vibe always brings me back. The grounds have one of the best sunset views. The staff is fun and attentive. We think the restaurant has some of the best food and drinks in Bocas. It easy to get a water taxi to Isla Colon or other islands. You can relax by the pool, enjoy the beautiful garden, or read a book in your over the water cabina.
