Description
This fun Caribbean hotel is a waterfront corner of the quirky and colorful Bocas Town, on isla Colon , Bocas del Toro Panama. I've renovated it, built an additional house, restored the pool, but im not quite ready to open yet. I need help with the finishing touches, a website, murals, painting , some gardening and strategizing a unique marketing plan to launch this baby!
Workawayers will have comfortable private rooms, with king sized beds and private bathrooms. I wont provide food, but i will provide a restaurant kitchen for you to cook your own! We've got a pool for your enjoyment, and we are right down town for easy access to boat tours, restaurants and nightlife.
Presently we employ a local staff of four Panamanians.

His property is located in the main town, so it's super easy to get around to supermarkets and what not, and an easy taxi boat away from the other islands. We were so comfortable in our room and the pool was so nice to swim in!
Our main tasks were helping out with the… read more
