    Food was amazing. Nayda has prepared probably the best fish we've tried in our whole trip to Bocas del Toro. Totally recommended!

    We ordered twice in this place. More than 1h waiting both times. Fish was dry, portion of squid ridiculous and burger bread was burnt. Side dish ok. Octopus was delicious and amount was more or less ok.

    Best place to eat in town. Do not miss this place, you’re gonna regret it! I recommend to write on WhatsApp to the number you can find on google map to make sure it’s open! We had the caribbean cooked octopus and the whole fish, it was absolutely delicious and the cook was super nice! We’ll come back for sure!;))

    We had diner here and it turned out to be one of the best places we have eaten across whole the Bocas region. The place seems a family business, with one of the younger ladies being a very friendly waitress, and the older generations doing marvelous things in the kitchen. Food is simple but delicious. For this restaurant I’d even take a dedicated boat trip from Bocas Town.

    This was my favourite meal of my time in Bocas (and the best). I had the fish fillet with rice and patacones and it tasted incredible. So aromatic, punchy, and fresh. (The depth of flavour was much better and tasted more authentic than a lot of the restos I went to in Bocas town). Suggest you go out of your way to come here or stop by after an afternoon in Old Bank and Wizard Beach. I actually wanted to come here again but was gutted I couldn't make it on my last night.

    I can very recommend this Restaurant! We eat the vegetarian Burger and it was soo delicious! The burger with fries only costs 8$. They also have some salads as a vegetarian option :) You should eat here !

    During our off-season visit, we found Guary Guary to be a quiet, personal, uncomplicated place to stay. Service very friendly, respectful, attentive and never intrusive. Food tasty, fresh, balanced and well seasoned. Our expectations were exceeded on our second visit as well. The owner organized a water taxi for us. On the way to the dock, a boisterous conversation ensued. Thank you for the great experiance!

    The owner said she had 3 different size spiny lobsters, I chose the $20 option. This was a flavor bomb in my mouth. It had a Caribbean curry flavor. It was soooooo good. Everything tasted so fresh.

    Depending on the amount of kitchen or wait staff, your wait time can vary. On this occasion, Nayda had help and my food came quickly. Her food is consistently very very good. She is a talented cook.

    This place was recommended to us. The staff was super friendly and the service was great. The food took some time but was worth the wait - really good!

    Nice little gem on the main street with a small terrace on the back. Service is very slow (at least they can bring the drinks while you wait) but the food was very good! Worth the wait

    Really good veggie burger! Only open for dinner

  • 5/5 Leah R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great, local food! I loved talking to everyone working in the restaurant, they were all so kind and welcoming. The food was of course delicious and it was beautiful to eat on the water. The staff put a lot of work in to make the place great.

  • 5/5 Ebba R. 2 years ago on Google
    This is the best food we had on Bastimentos. The food takes some time to prepare because they can only make for one table at a time in the small kitchen, but it is well worth the wait and the prices are very reasonable. We had amazing shrimps, fish and patacones here. It's just across the street from Bastimentos Hill Guesthouse.

    Great local food! Fresh fish, big portions, a nice terrace directly at the sea and very fair prices. Everything made with love. Much better then al the touristic restaurants in Isla Colon

  • 5/5 Carlos G. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing caribbean food, we had lobster and octopus. Fresh ingredients, very well seasoned, good portions and fair prices. On top of it, Nayda is a phenomenal host and cooker! Yes, you can wait 30 or 40 minutes, the kitchen is small, but it is worthy!

😠 Skip it! I had to try 3 times for them to take my order, the staff is unfriendly and the service is extremely slow. I've had way better tacos in other locations.
