Cosmic Crab Resort

Great location - you can’t beat staying on water and being 15 min from a beautiful tropical beach! Also, Jesse and Steven are very welcoming and attentive hosts. They gave us good advice what to do and how to get there. We liked their breakfast, it’s quite filling.

The food here at the restaurant was amazing! Great service also.

The property is really nice with a nice clean pool, ocean front and over water bungalows, great food and awesome staff! 1 minute boat ride to Bocas.

There are limited dining options - the first day we arrived the both restaurants were closed - breakfast took over an hour each day which is too long - dinner was great the lobster with passionfruit butter was well work it. It is a cute spot but you do need to take a water taxi anywhere you go, the rooms are small but okbjust for sleeping

It was awesome from the minute I arrived. Family owned business that went out of their way to ensure every detail was covered. Helped book excursions, gave suggestions on things to do. The food was incredible, everything I had and I had at least 2 meals there a day was delicious. The waitresses were friendly and responsive The bartenders were all so much fun with great personalities. Gave average rating on noise but learned turn AC on and that drowned it out.

Really enjoyed staying here. It is a cute, well-kept-up resort that is family owned. The staff are very nice and helpful.

En general la limpieza estuvo genial y el lugar rústico un poco antiguo pero todo en Bocas es igual. Para quedarse en familia está súper bien. La comida es poca, la ducha estaba mala, calentaba a quemar o completamente fría. Habitación sin ventalacion porque si se abría la ventana se metían los mosquitos que además pican súper duro. La piscina de agua muy fría.

Don’t look into the corners. One week was too long. On the bright side - hot showers were good and the bed was comfortable. Sink was loose and toilet third world. The bar staff (Ana) was the best😁

Excelente, lo recomiendo al máximo

quiet place a couple minutes and $1 water taxi to and from town. Great owners and staff.

This place was the best spot on the island in my opinion. Our dogs loved it and the staff were really great. Felt safe and welcome. Great location on the island with easy access to taxis whenever needed. Highly recommend if staying on canenero island.

Great hosts with great meal options.

We stayed here for 2 nights and the hosts were great. The rooms were great as well. I only wish the bar was open later and on Wednesdays seems like they do not open at all. For a hotel I would think guests want to have drinks by the pool while they are on the property. You can jump right off the docks into the clear water and see all types of fish. If they ever change the restaurant/bar times I will go back for sure.

Had a great stay at the Cosmic Crab. Dining options were great on premises and the property was clean and beautiful. Hope we can join you again someday!

Just a quick boat ride from Bocas Del Toro to a super cute small waterfront resort with pool bar and restaurant ! Staff was very helpful with tours and directions to give the water taxis for what piers and so on

Mi experiencia en este hotel fue decepcionante. Durante las tres noches de mi estadía, nunca realizaron limpieza en la habitación, algo imprescindible en un hotel, especialmente estando en una zona de playa y con clima caliente. Esto no solo genera incomodidad, sino que también afecta por la descomposición de papeles de baño y la acumulación de suciedad, lo cual requiere un mantenimiento constante. La habitación tenía un fuerte olor a humedad, que en ocasiones se mezclaba con olores provenientes del exterior, similares a desagües. Esto hacía que el ambiente fuera muy desagradable. Además, un problema muy grave fue que, al dormir, amanecíamos con múltiples picaduras en el cuerpo, lo que sugiere la presencia de insectos en las camas, lo cual resultó inaceptable e incómodo. Si bien las instalaciones exteriores del hotel son normales y los dueños son amables y atentos, el costo no justifica el servicio ofrecido. La falta de limpieza y las condiciones de la habitación hicieron que nuestra estadía fuera muy insatisfactoria. Lamentablemente, no puedo recomendar este hotel.

Is a beach property. Nice, the owners receive you and make you fell like home. The workers of the restaurant need to have a better treatment to the locals. But in general nice please to go with the family or couples.

It was great Jone the owner was awesome, the food was great. To get a water taxi to the property is not a problem.

I do not recommend the cosmic crab. There were 3 of us staying for 4 nights in the hummingbird cabin and we could not wait to leave. The property has potential but has been neglected. The cabins smell like raw sewage inside and out. The water pressure was very low. I have been living in Panama for years now and am very accustomed to rustic accommodations but this place is just poorly managed, and poorly maintained. The restaurant closes at 7:30 and was barely open during our entire stay. Whenever we needed anything it always felt like we were inconveniencing the staff and like our being there was such a burden. We never asked for housekeeping but when we did ask for towels the owner scolded us for not asking “in advance”. The owner also was very rude and passive aggressive whenever we needed anything. There was no coffee the morning after we checked in and it was like we were asking for a million dollars just to get coffee that was supposed to be free every day. when we asked if we could get lunch on our last day, the owner literally told us “that’s not going to happen”. Complete lack of hospitality especially from Joan, the owner. She tries to make you feel welcomed but the moment you need something you feel like a burden. This place has potential but the management is terrible. Just stay somewhere else far away from the krusty crab.

Great Owners & Staff. Welcoming and inviting. Property is super cute. Swimming pool with swim up bar. Bungalows over the water and on land. AC doesn't cool well and it stays humid in the room area. Other then that great place to come for food, music and swimming with friends or family. The Caribbean water is clear. You can walk the docks and see starfish, stingrays, fish and even nurse sharks. Water Taxi costs $2/pp from Bocas Town each way. The owners beautiful art work is for sale on site. Come & visit or stay for awhile. Stop at the market prior to coming to the island.
