We (4 adults, 5 kids) spent 4 days at the Careening Caye. It was perfectly located on nearby Carenero island, an easy 200 yard boat trip ($1) from Bocas Town. Commuting back and forth to town by water added a fun island flair element to the trip. The proprietors, Joan and Steve, were gracious and helpful, and always smiling. The... more

My husband and I had the most relaxing stay at the Careening Cay Resort. This resort is on Carenero, the island right next to Colon (where Bocas is) therefore you are close to the hustle and bustle but not right in the middle of it! My husband and I were looking to get away from our hectic life and this... more

When my boyfriend and I stayed at the careening cay resort during a trip to Panama, it was the absolute highlight of our trip. The food was the best that we tasted in Panama, and the frozen drinks were delicious. The crab cakes and the cosmic colors drink were a few favorites, although everything was great. The owners are friendly... more

We just got back from Bocas Del Toro, and one of our favorite destinations was Careening Cay Resort, and the Cosmic Crab restaurant. We didn't actually stay at the hotel, but the owners were kind enough to show us the cabins, and had we seen earlier, we would've definitely spent a few nights here. The rooms are very simple, but... more

This is our family's second trip to Bocas del Toro. Last year, we stayed in Bocas town at a great hotel, and had planned to stay there again, but due to severe water problems that occurred in Bocas town at that time, we quickly changed our reservation to a location that had a well for water. We arrived on a... more

Just returned from staying @ The Careening Cay Resort on Carenero Island just a stones throw from Isla Colon. The place has a wonderful casual low key vibe. The staff was friendly and professional. Wendy & Edwin at Cosmic Crab Cafe whipped up some of the most delicious frozen drinks I have ever tried. The views from the restaurant are... more

We had a great time during our visit to Careening Cay. The location is lovely and super close to Bocas Town without being in the middle of all of the hubbub. Joan and Steve were very personable, nice, and helpful (called us water taxis, recommended places to visit, joined us for a scrabble game), the food and drinks were fabulous... more

This waterfront resort was the highlight of our stay in Panama. They have individual cabins that are really more like small houses. Me and my wife enjoyed the privacy of having our own cabin only steps from the waters edge. We were only two people which was kind of a waste for the size of the place because the cabin... more

Visited Careening Cay with my wife and were extremely disappointed. We exepcted it to be a quiet and romantic spot and the cabin was okay but there were a lot of details overlooked. Curtains on the windows would have been nice (especially since we hoped for romance). There was construction that started every morning at 8 except Sunday and with... more
