Those of you who see the negative reviews, please note that they were BEFORE the new managers took over. We had a fantastic time! We stayed in a private cabana and found it to be perfect....very quiet and relaxing, close to the ocean so you could hear the waves lull you to sleep at night with its own private, screened... more

We just returned from staying 5 nights at the Buccaneer and we're already planning a return trip. From the very first email contact with Adrienne we felt like friends and as soon as we got to the property we felt like family. Adrienne and Jim really helped us learn the runnings of the area. From snorkeling trips to restaurant suggestions... more

Had a great three-night stay at the Buccaneer. Debated whether to stay in Bocas Town or out on Carenaro and we were very happy with our choice. Getting water taxis to/from was never any trouble at all. The rides are a dollars at most and only take five minutes. The place is so scenic and the boat rides really added... more

Jim and Adrienna (owners) communicated promptly via email as we had to adjust our dates and guests. Offered good suggestions about area restaurants. Very relaxing and clean place. Can rent kayaks, surfboards, snorkel gear right there. Not fancy but just what we needed. The guesthouse is right on the beach so you have a great view - even during the... more

We detoured to Panama after traveling in Costa Rica. We stayed in the town of Bocas del Toro our first night at a lovely guesthouse that wasn't near the ocean. We quickly scouted out other lodging and fell in love with the Buccaneer Resort. It offers a great location right on the beach, a convenient restaurant that serves up tasty... more

Adrienne and Jim manage to establish a very relaxed atmosphere on Cayo Carenero just a 5-minute boat trip away from Bocas Town. Rooms are spacious and very clean in a palm garden next to a private beach. We particularly enjoyed having breakfast while watching pelicans. more

Adrienne and Jim were very nice hosts. They organized boat taxis and reccomended great snorkling/sailing adventure. They were there to answer questions and chat with us. They were very friendly everytime we came back to island. We accidentaly forgotte to leave the key but they were kind enough to accept it as an accident. The view from our beach balcony... more

My boyfriend and I have stayed at the Buccaneer Resort twice. The first time was in February of ‘07 and we thought it was a pretty cool place. I will admit the rooms were not as clean as would have preferred, but it wasn't horrible and we are used to "roughing it" and such so we were fine with it.... more

We have traveled over a great deal of Central America and Buccaneer is definitely the best bang for the buck we have gotten so far! We stayed in a cabana, which was VERY affordable, right on the beach with plenty of space. It was in great shape when we got there, and was cleaned every day. Carenaro Island is nice... more
