The outdoor space was lovely however there wasn’t any shade on the deck. It was so hot we were not able to use it but there was lots of shade in the island itself.

The property was very clean. Daily freshening up by the staff was appreciated.

This applies to most places in Bocas but especially to this place, and it's not something they tell you ahead of time on Booking: the water is only turned on for two 2 hour periods per day. Apparently the water is pumped from a fresh water lake on the main island or rain is caught and it hadn't rained for a while. The owner also said the pump from the main island was acting up? I can understand conserving water, but they should tell you ahead of time. Go to the washroom overnight? It's staying in the bowl until morning. Go snorkeling in the afternoon and want to wash the sand off? Not happening. Go dancing at night and want to shower before you go to bed? Nope. A similar thing with the AC. I understand and subscribe to conservation, but I'm on vacation. When I come home after a sweaty day, I want to walk into air conditioning. I'm paying for that. They would enter the unit and turn it off during the day. They would also re-arrange my clothes and personal items. I understand they are trying to be tidy, and nothing was ever missing, but don't touch my stuff. The internet was also very slow. It isn't unuseable, but it is slower on the island then it is in Bocas town. The owner talked about getting Musk's Starlink, who knows if he'll follow through. The owner seems like a decent guy and I could see him making improvements to the dock and other items each day I was there. It's a nice enough place, but you're paying roughly what you would pay at other places that don't have the water/AC/internet concerns.

This is on the closest island to Bocas town proper. The kondo is a 5 minute walk from the main party bar in Bocas - The Aqua Lounge. A water taxi back to the main island will cost you $2 each way. Initially I was concerned how hard it would be to get transport, but there are so many taxi boats zooming about that it was never an issue, you just stand on the end of the dock and flag down the next one going past and they are happy to make an extra $2 for going to the same final destination. The room was more like a small apartment, spacious and clean with a complete modern kitchen.

Everything in our room was great but the bed was hard. Maybe a few more hand towels as we only had one between us. I am sure the manager would have provided us as many as we needed if we had requested it. The number of bath towels was fine.

Breakfast was on location and it was plentiful for the price. Wi-Fi, small refrigerator, kitchenette and air conditioning was available and good. The manager, Maricela, and her son were excellent! Both were welcoming, friendly and helpful in every way! The local people were all very nice as well. The room was cleaned every day and the entire property was clean and presentable at all times. You could also easily walk to several restaurants with live music near by. It was easy and cheap to take water taxis from Kevin's Condos anywhere you want to go, including Bocas Town and other islands. All in all, it was very pleasant, quiet and relaxing stay. We will definitely go back.

TV channels did not work properly. Furniture is outdated. A bigger couch in the livingroom would be great.

Location is great, allthough not much to do on Carenero island. But super easy to catch a boat to Boca's. Good size appartment, functional kitchen.

Sand fleas and mosquitos... Ha! Welcome to the rain forest/beach. Love mother nature!

Three female Missionaries taking a break from Costa Rica. Great place to unwind. A little beach, a little ocean, great restaurant just next door...all very reasonable! Water taxis no problem!

Stayed in March 2023

we missed bigger/comfier sofas in the living room and on the balcony the sleeping room had no fly nets neither at the window nor at the balcony

we liked the condo a lot - sea-oriented balcony, kitchen well equipped, sleeping room facing the garden (meaning darkness which is very rare), nice people running the place and we were very happy to stay on Carenero

There is AC only in the bedrooms. I wish there would be another one in the living room. But still, the cool from the bedrooms gets to the other parts of the apartment.

The apartment was very big. We had plenty of room for a party of 5. It was very clean and every day cleaned again. It's 2 minutes from the main island but still far enough so you can enjoy the quiet, the beauty and relax. Adriano was always there to help and recommend us on things to do. Thank you very much for the wonderful stay!

You can still hear the music from Bocas town! Not that many food options, but so easy to get a water taxi across to town if needed.

Loved waking up to this view! Friendly welcome by reception. Huge comfortable apartment with everything we needed for a family of five with young children (space and laundry service!). We walked to lunch and dinner (Bibi’s, Leaf Eaters, Coquitos Beach) and the supermarket for breakfast items to make our own. Keep walking past Bibi’s for the best swimming beach, shaded by palms and idyllic.

This is not a reflection on the condo at all, but in our three nights we heard music (bass) until between 1-3am coming from over the water night clubs. It was really loud, and apparently it is also like this in Bocas Town. The condo is well built and has double paned windows so I imagine it is probably a lot worse in any other bnb/guest house. The chitres (no see ums) are bad before sunset and after sunrise. My husband got no bites, but I looked like I had chicken pox when I got home. There is all kinds of advice out there but I brought repellent wipes with DEET and that worked great after I learned my lesson the first day. Bring some sort of after bite cream as the bites itch like crazy

Loved the view, can't beat oceanfront! The condo is huge, very clean, light and bright. We had a third floor unit with big balcony and comfy furniture to lounge on. Kitchen had everything we needed. Loved sitting on the balcony with coffee in the morning. It is a small island so even having AC in the bedrooms was a huge bonus. Water taxi dock is right out front and $1 ride to Bocas town. Easy even with 2 big suitcases. Excellent place to stay if you want calm water to wade in for small kids, and if you walk further down there are larger waves. Walk 10 minutes or so to the right of the condo (if looking at it from the water) for an excellent beach, and even closer is Bibi's over the water restaurant with amazing ceviche and live music. Five minutes in the other direction is a decent sized store for groceries and water.

there was a kitchen but nothing to cook. at least would help to have oil, salt, sugar or coffee to greet the hosts.

the water taxis were affordable and easy to catch from the dock.

Stayed in February 2022

there were lots of mosquitoes in the apartment, especially the bathroom. not sure how they were getting in though as there was nets on the windows. Also the air con setting were hard to get use to, sometimes too cold, sometimes too hot and made a clicking noise.

great location right next to the beach and within walking distance to the shop and some restaurants. The owner was a great host and helped us with our questions about the apartment.
