I can only say good things about the Blue Marlin. We stayed only 2 nites and wished it would have been more. The Blue Marlin is small and very private. The owners are so warm to welcome and help with anything that you could possibly need on your stay. .."Thank you George and Yessaca" The Pickeled Parrot has some really... more

My husband, myself and our 11 year old daughter stayed here and had a great time. We had been staying at a place down the beach which costed us twice as much. We literally stumbled onto this place and stayed. The food was awesome we loved the Thai Soup and whole snapper cooked in garlic butter, YUM! We were going... more

Our family of 5 (with kids aged 9,6 and 3) stayed March 2007 (with 3 kids it is tough to get these reviews done). Bocas is an awesome area with tons to do. George and Yessica know lots about the area and can point you to tours, etc. For the price, definitely above average accommodations. large 2-room 'suite' for lack... more

Not sure where many of the previous reviewers stayed but I have to say I don;t agree with all the rave reviews. There are two apts under the family floor above. The apts are older with a very moldy bathroom and the apt is very musty. The view is gorgeous but that is the norm in this area. The nearby... more

I just return from staying at the Blue Marlin last week....a few "corrections" need to be made to these reviews. First, Bocas is beautiful and my friends and I had the time of our lives, but: the Blue Marlin is someone's house and is like staying with a family....it is NOT a resort...Every morning I could hear the babies upstairs....the... more

We drove to Almirante and caught a water taxi to Bocas. Not having reservations yet, we were discussing options when the guy behind us offered to help. We told him the price range, and he asked his wife if a room was available. Turned out to be George and his family who own the Blue Marlin (hotel) and Pickled Parrot... more

This place is the jewel of Bocas! Awesome experience! The family and the staff that run this establishment are warm and friendly and are there to make your stay a memorable one! Alex & Amber (San Francisco) more

First let me say that we loved the Blue Marlin/Pickled Parrot. We actually ran into the reviewer who wrote the previous bad review, and well... He told us a similar story, but we decided to check it out anyway. Thank goodness we did! We had a great time. The Blue Marlin has the best location on Isla Carenero. A short... more
