“Leave your schedule behind”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 March 2011

I travelled to Bocas del Toro in November with my brother. We arrived in Bocas Town with no reservations or clue as to where to stay. The hustle and bustle in Bocas Town didn't appeal, so we hired a water taxi and left it up to the driver to take us to a hostel. It was the best decision we could've made!! We were taken to Beverlys Hill and any stress from the long travel day was instantly erased by the tranquil beauty of the place and Sandras genuinely welcoming attitude. The room we shared was spacious, with a fan and good mosquito nets. The view overlooking the bay made waking each day a great thing. We were treated as friends from the start, Simon, Sandra, and Naomi are excellent hosts, providing stories, local information, and great food. We planned on staying for a day or two, but the hospitality and laid back vibe convinced us to stay for over a week. Parrots, red frogs, beautiful gardens, and sloths were all present on the property. I would recommend this fine establishment in a heartbeat! When you go, be sure to pet Reno, he's a great dog!

“Heart of the caribbean chill.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 February 2011

What a great laidback hostel on a beautiful island .
Situated on the hillside in the West indian community that first arrived
with the boom of the banana plantations , this is as authentic as..
Sandra & Simon ( the owners ) had recently got back , the poor surf dude in charge had been pretty ill & couldn`t do much .
The views , gardens & general ambience were topnotch with Sandras very capable kitchen
another part of a most memorable 5 day stay .
We had been to places more hectic in the past couple of weeks ( cities & treks & tours ) so enjoyed the perfect way to unwind taking in days at the wonderful Playa Wizard.or lounging around.
We stayed in the cabana behind with the shared fridge ,simple elegance at a very reasonable price , cool & comfortable .
Highly recommended affordable charm. with real hospitality .

“Paradise Found”

This is the 2nd time I have stayed at Beverly's Hill, and I love it! The friendly owners and beautiful garden serve as a great home away from home when staying on Bastimentos...I think that Bastimentos' famous Red Frogs live mainly at Beverly's Hill, because i have seen dozens of them there...The hotel is located right in Bastimentos town but you feel as if you are staying in the jungle with ocean very close by, and great views! The rooms are all different and very creatively laid out, very rustic and comfortable...Definately recommend this place to anyone....

“A little piece of heaven.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 February 2011

I was highly recommended to this little guesthouse on the beautiful laid-back island of Bastimentos. The owners (Simon and Sandra with a spectacular little daughter Naomi) were very kind and helpful and made the experience a pure delight for us both.

The rooms were clean and comfortable and the garden was well cared for and interesting. There were a number of little red frogs on the tree and shrub leaves.

There are simply lovely views from the front of the property and it is easy to get a boat to the main island of Bocas. One couldn't ask for more!

“Nice place but very poor service”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 February 2011

The houses, the rooms and even the garden with his red frogs was very nice. But when we staid there, the owners where not at home and there was a guy who where not really interestet in his guests. When we arrived, it was ok. We checked in the most expensive room with private bath. Because there was a blackout, we did not have water. After the electicity came back, the guy explained us, that there will still be no water,because he had to fill the tank. But this evening he does not want to fill the tank. So we had to go thrugh the garden to the other toilet. We asked him two times for a little tank of water, for flushing the toilet. he promised, but forgot it. He prfefered hang around.
