hotéis em Bocas del Toro

Contras: There was no filter water and we had to purchase individual small bottles of water during our whole stay. What a waste! This is not something you'd expect at any all inclusive place, not to mention in a place that markets itself as environmentally friendly.

Prós: breakfast very good

Prós: The staff was very friendly and the food was good. The over the water location was gorgeous.

Contras: It rains a lot in Bocos and there were bugs and geckos in the rooms. The food is expensive. The huts are very rudimentary, but that’s part of appeal. You can only leave by the hotel boat or water taxi, so you can tend to feel a bit isolated. However, the hotel was very good about arranging rides and setting up excursions.

Prós: Uma experiência única! O lugar é maravilhoso e a água no entorno do hotel é cristalina. Oferecem caiaques para passeio e máscara e snorkel para mergulho. As choupanas são grandes e espaçosas e possuem um deck exclusivo. Fantástico!

Contras: A água do chuveiro e torneira são um pouco salubres, mas fornecem água mineral. As instalações, claro, são um pouco rústicas, mas é o que se espera deste tipo de hotel, mas nada disso importa porque o local é indescritível!

Prós: Amazing and quiet place !

Prós: Banho

Contras: Travesseriros

Prós: É uma experiência incrivel ficar nesse lugar, simplesmente mágico!!!

Contras: É afastado de tudo, o que não é ruim, porem é bom já ter em mente

Prós: Localização impressionante em arquitetura sustentável. Maravilhosa experiência de acordar no meio do mar e mergulhar com os peixes.

Contras: Os preços do restaurante são um pouco elevados, principalmente no café da manhã e nos pratos principais.

Prós: The cabanas are over the water, you Can see fishes just next to your cabana. The staff is very nice and friendly. The location is quiet and relaxing as there is nothing else there.

Contras: The hotel needs either to do a refurbishment or to lower the prices as it is way to expensive for What you get. The bath water is strange, it seems the sea water badly filtered...you need to wash your teeth and face with botled water (wich they provide)

Prós: A localização do hotel é óptima embora haja poucos serviços a oferecer ao cliente

Contras: Da falta de profissionalismo dos empregados e da seguramça devido á falta de empregados !

Prós: absoloty great stff help with everything! great people actully speak english and were very helpfull, have a suttle to the main land and back or to leave free of charge, nice taxi boat to the starfish beach. absolotly amazing location, coral right on the hotel as well as a reef shark! hundreds of starfish and great location

Contras: location far so taxi boats try to charge allot and the shuttle wasnt very clear to us, breakfest is expenssive and does in fact require payment for every product on it own: 2 $ coffee, 2 $ milk 3 $ butter and jam 2$ toast. dinner was expensive as well and the food wasnt that exciting... furtheremore, we took a taxi boat to the starfish beach that the hotel arranged(cost: 8 $ back and forth) but were unshore of the payment so gave the driver 20$ and were told to ask the desk for change that then informed us that he must have mistaken the 20$ for a tip since the hotel charges for the trip! the hotel returen the 20$ but i didnt appreciate the attempt

Prós: - Hammock - Location away from the city - Sheets and beds were ok (except for bugs)

Contras: - Food was overpriced and badly cooked (e.g. 'charcoal' chicken, 'toast' burger..). City is too far away to get to for all the meals - Staff unhappy with their job and would roll eyes when ordering - Bed bugs - Very run down place - not like in the pictures - No wifi in the room/ no phone charging phone in the room - The taxi they recommended was 3 times more expensive than a random boat

Prós: Very quiet but still centrally located. La Terraza is one of the few places in Bocas Town with a pool, which was nice as I would not recommend to swim in the harbour area with all the water taxis rushing by. Staff was helpful and organised my transfer to Isla Bastimientos.

Contras: The rooms are a bit dated.

Prós: I would like to thank Garay for his great hospitality

Prós: Great staff, helpful. Great location, loved the dock. Clean pool.

Prós: The location is great. It's close enough to walk everywhere but not in the heart of town. The sun deck terrace over the water is excellent

Contras: The bed and the pillows were rock hard . I asked for a quiet room but every morning around 7am the guy from reception would stand outside my room and talk really loudly on his phone. He woke me up each time and only moved after I got up and opened the curtains to let him know I could hear him !! The place was nearly empty yet he chose my room to sit outside !!

Prós: The manager Garay was outstanding. He was welcoming, helpful, kind and spoke English. The staff was friendly and kept our room spotless. The location, walking distance from downtown yet out of the noise, was perfect. We also walked to and from the airport. Having a pool was a bonus as there are no beaches in town that you can swim in. The pool is a bit too deep for small children though. We liked the evening breeze on the deck over the ocean. Water taxis are available right next door. We enjoyed our 8 day stay at La Terraza

Contras: We liked everything.

Prós: Nosotros estábamos solos en el hotel porque era temporada baja y fue genial para nosotros

Contras: La Tv no se veía bien y nos costó ver los partidos del mundial

Prós: Central location, close to everything and still very quiet. Nice room with good shower. Sea view from deck. Nice pool. Very nice owner.

Contras: Nothing

Prós: La Terrazza is a motel style hotel right in the heart of Bocas Town with a very small swimming pool and deck overlooking the sea. It was very quiet apart from the sound of planes coming in but it was the end of the season. The manager was very nice and helpful. Although initial impressions weren't great, we had a very large comfy bed, nice sheets and towels and quiet aircon.

Contras: The hotel looks rather rundown and the rooms are in need of redecoration. The area around the pool was a bit bleak as there was no landscaping or grass. The pool has no shallow end so most people wouldn't be able to stand up in it. There was fresh soap every day but no shampoo provided.

Prós: The swimming pool. The owner was nice. The room has a fridge and AC.

Contras: A bit pricy

Prós: Location is for sure good if you want to enjoy Bocas town (boatride for aprox 2 dollars takes 30 seconds). Breakfast was OK, the owner himself very friendly and helpful. Room is right on the sea with a terrace you can swim from, view over the shore of Carenero island with coconut palms and the cristal clear water.

Contras: Downside of the location is the noisy boat traffic that you hear everywhere. Also a ladder at the terrace of the room would be nice to get out of the water more easily. Curtains didn´t darken the room, street light enlighted it also during the night. Air condition split device at the terrace was noisy, so when AC was on, terrace was not nice to use.

Prós: Fantastic experience! This place is a hidden gem. A staff were exceptional. The owner was so friendly and accommodating, the restaurant ladies were such a pleasure to be around. Breakfast each morning was made to order, so fresh and delicious. And CANNOT BEAT THE VIEW! Others complained about the boat traffic noise, but we found it soothing and very relaxing.

Contras: The only complaint we have was the bed was very, very firm and not great for people with back conditions. Was difficult to sleep without a sleep aid. Would still rate this accommodation 5 stars!

Prós: We had a really nice stay! The bungalows are amazing, just above the water. You are not at the main island, so you don‘t have the noices from there. The breakfast, which was included, was also very good! Loved our stay!

Contras: There is not much to do on this island, but for $1 each you can take a watertaxi.

Prós: Atendimento muito atencioso Quarto simples, mas completo Muito boa vista e com um local bem tranquilo

Contras: Disponibilidade de agua em todo horario e uma televisao um pouco maior

Prós: The accommodations were good however the location was awful. You couldn’t leave the property as it was absolutely filthy and disgusting. The beach was not good and the ocean smelled of sewer. The reviews say you can just jump off your dock and snorkel that’s incorrect since the grey water from all the accommodations and the restaurant dump right where you swim. It’s unsanitary. We walked around the island, took about 1.5 hours. Half of it is nice the other half is disgusting. We tried going to the beach on Carenero but the police kicked us out at 4:00. Not sure why. What a disappointment.

Contras: Although the location is close to Bocas the main island, the water taxis race by all day all night and it’s very annoying. It’s relentless. I would avoid this area altogether.

Prós: The restaurant was amazing really good food the lady was so nice with me and my wife, fresh food everyday and good coffee, we had a few bars around and a really nice restaurant like 10 minutes from our hotel that also had really good food...

Contras: The lady in charge of cleaning the room was pushing us to leave the room to clean even when I told her that we didn't need any cleaning, we left for a couple of hours just to find that out towels were still dirty and trash was still laying around the room... She didn't even leave any shampoo nor soap

Prós: Really nice place, with perfect view, close to the bocas, but more quiet. Personel is lovely!!

Prós: I got a great deal through my genius discount. I got to stay in the actual "lighthouse" building and it was simply outstanding. It has a mini fridge to keep all your beverages cold. The shower had amazing water pressure. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I took a stroll around the island and the whole thing took just under two hours. Unfortunately there is not much else to the island than beaches and a couple of restaurants. If you are looking for a lively night life you'll have to go to the main island and water taxi back at night.

Contras: If I had to pick something, it would be that the ac unit is upstairs along with the bedroom and the stairs are quite steep. I could not imagine navigating them after a few drinks. This only applies to the lighthouse facility as the other cabanas are all single story.

Prós: Luz and the staff, were very friendly and attentive.

Prós: Luz was great with us all the time, if we need something she always was helpful.

Contras: Water taxi all night to much noise

Prós: Very clean and comfortable

Contras: Shower curtain fell every day

Prós: It was perfect for me im a surfer and it was awesome getting back to the room very confortable

Prós: Location and A/C worked great

Contras: A little pricey for what you get.

Prós: Localização, tamanho do quarto.

Contras: Nada

Prós: The location is close to the most restaurants and the boat docks for the beach trips

Contras: The waiting time between ordering and serving the breakfast was very long (aprox. 45-50 min)

Prós: A amabilidade dos funcionários.

Prós: Very well located - right at the end of the Bocas strip near the best restaurants and Bocas Dive Center. Awesome breakfast - super friendly staff. Well equipped suite with full kitchen and fridge. Special thanks to Carmen Campbell for all her help and advice during our stay.

Contras: Older key system - had to leave the key every time.

Prós: Nos trataron muy bien. Totalmente recomendado. La habitación con balcón y cocina es lo mejor de lo mejor.

Prós: The front desk staff was so friendly to us and so helpful. The ladies in restaurant were friendly and remembered our meal preferences.

Prós: Quarto grande e espaçoso

Contras: Cofre pequeno, café da manhã uma só opção

Prós: It was a convenient location, clean and comfortable!

Contras: The AC did not work in our room, the staff was accommodating and changed our room-but they just gave us a key, which I had to go down and get. No one offered to help us move our stuff and no one apologized or came to check on us when we complained or after the move

Prós: The staff, especially Sasha were amazing. The facility was beautiful inside and out.

Contras: The noise from the semi-trucks lining up throughout the day waiting to load onto or off the nearby ferry.

Prós: Katya e Cesar foram anfitriões incríveis. Extremamente simpática e acolhedora. Eu também reservei a Deepboarding Tour através deles que foi uma explosão. Não posso recomendar o suficiente! Best value em Bocas cidade para certo !!!

Prós: Ótima localização, cozinha acessível e o dono bastante acessível e atencioso.

Contras: Necessário um pouco mais de limpeza!

Prós: Nice location in Bocas Town not on Main Street but super close. Nice room with a private bathroom and super clean. Thomas is the perfect host with great restaurant and activity recommendations.

Prós: Bem localizado, perto de varios restaurantes e transportes.

Contras: Camas muito desconfortaveis, quartos velhos, as vezes havia agua quente outras vezes nao

Prós: - Nice garden with seeting area. - Decent kitchen - Perfect location

Contras: - Rooms a bit outdated - Not that clean - A lot of noise from the main streets

Prós: Informações dadas pelo gerente

Contras: Fraco sinal de Wi-Fi

Prós: Everything, the beds, room, facilities, assistance, location(it is in the very center)

Prós: The terrasse is nice to hang out, close to everything in Bocas Town

Contras: This place is nice but slightly overpriced for what you receive. The rooms are very basic, the beds are hard with only one teeny pillow each. The showers are however nice and hot which was a huge bonus and you get clean towels. The kitchen facilities are good, however they need more cutlery as only have 2 big spoons which isn’t enough for the number of people staying. The space was clean though. Just to note of it rains there aren’t many communal areas to hang out in and you don’t want to hang out in your room too much.

Prós: Good value and room for the price. Kitchen available to cook in. Staff was friendly and helpful. Had a key to my room along with safe inside, so valuables were always safe.

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Nice and quiet place to sleep. Staff was helpful and always availible. WiFi quite good. Felt more like a cheap hotel then a hostel. Got new towels and cheats on request.

Contras: Beds were really uncomfortable. Not really any common areas for guests to hang out.

Prós: Great location, steps away from the docks and right in the heart of the city. If you are a clubber, this is the place to lodge into. Great staff, comfortable bed, good wifi (although not so good in the restaurant terrace).

Contras: Right across the street from a noisy night club (also, a noisy street during the night). The hotel freely offers sleeping earbuds (already available in the bathroom, near the towels). It might be challenging if you are looking for a quiet place to sleep, but don't forget that Bocas Town is known for its vibrant nightlife. Turn this into your advantage: do your clubbing during the night and afterward, you are steps away from your hotel.

Prós: Cama confortável Duche com água quente Varanda com vista mar Localização excelente

Contras: Pequeno almoço por menus

Prós: Were upgraded to a better room without us asking.

Contras: First room was small.

Prós: Comfortable and clean hotel! Well maintained. Staff is lovely and very kind. Especially the girl at the reception. She even checked our flight status! Really appreciate it. Room was spacious, clean and very nice. Coffee provided in the room is exquisite.

Contras: Even though the location is very easy to reach and in the center, at night it was very loud. The hotel is located opposite to a dreadful disco. I value quietness.

Prós: We enjoyed meeting and chatting with the owner. She was very helpful

Prós: Location

Contras: Hostel next door has loud tenants. Party all night. Bring earplugs. Hotel provides them as well.

Prós: Confortable, cozy and good spot over water and island (we saw a dolfin from the deck :) )!

Contras: Breakfast is just ok

Prós: Great location, I mean really really great ! Super breakfast of pancakes or typical local fare. Very comfortable room. Nice staff.

Contras: The room had a weird smell which wasn’t entirely pleasant although not offensive. Couldn’t figure out what it was. The payment has been taken at booking but no receipt was available when I checked out although it was given when I asked.

Prós: Funcionários. Brian e Molly foram excelentes. Deixaram o ambiente despojado e muito familiar. Me senti muito confortável ficando lá. A cozinha é bem espaçosa pra cozinhar. Muito próximo ao centrinho.

Contras: O chuveiro do banheiro compartilhado tinha muito pouca água.

Prós: Simpatia, hospitalidade, generosidade e cortesia, dos atendentes!!

Contras: Banheiro somente água gelada; Não tive café da manhã.

Prós: The kitchen has everything you need. The bathrooms are equipeed with towels and soap. Comfortable beds

Contras: Tours available at the hostel are more expensive than you could find elswhere

Prós: Close to the city center but quiet, the kitchen was very well equiped and it was a pleasure to Cook there, the Staff was really kind and So were the guests

Prós: The only reason this review has received a 5.0 is due to the location and the staff!

Contras: Where do I begin!!! For our entire 3 night stay we we’re forced to monitor our showering and toilet schedules. Ingrid (the owner, according to staff) apparently refuses to pay for full use of water for the hostel and Spanish school, which therefore means that for approximately 20hrs of every day there is absolutely no water available for use. Not only is this a blatant disregard of basic human rights but it is also completely and utterly unhygienic, as there is often faeces left in unflushable toilets, and you are not able to wash your hands after using these disgustingly dirty bathrooms. As for the water in the showers, if you are not up at 6am in the morning, around at midday, approximately 7pm or 10pm you are essentially forced to use old water bottles which we were lucky enough to be given by one of the lovely staff. For the entire 3 days, our group of four were able to have an actual shower 3 times!!! Ohhh how could I have possibly almost forgotten to mention the inability to access the wifi anywhere but the front reception area... how in a hostel that provides Spanish lessons can there be no internet access to all areas of the hostel!! I cannot voice my disgust more for the apparent lack of care that the owner of this hostel has for the students, staff and public that she has residing in this accommodation facility. With new owners this place would flourish!!!!

Prós: Great community vibe from this place. Very friendly and welcoming people.

Prós: Gostei do tamanho do quarto, funcionárias queridas

Contras: Banho frio e cozinha sem ordem na geladeira e aparatos

Prós: Great Location in the island

Prós: The staff was super. I felt at home. Very good atmosfer

Contras: Cold water in shower

Prós: Localização muito boa, dependências do hostel muito boas e os staff muito prestativos

Prós: A acomodação promove eventos diários para integrar os hóspedes. Facilmente vc conhece pessoas e pratica o inglês.

Contras: Da necessidade de comprar água para beber. São 0,25$ por 2 litros, não é caro mas foi o primeiro Hostel onde precisei comprar água para beber.

Prós: staff was exceptional

Contras: diner could have had something besides fish

Prós: Nice and clean placed in paradise, with very friendly staff what more would I ask for?

Contras: Sand flies and mosquitoes, but mostly we avoid them with deed 40% and coccus oil, only a few hits from the buggers

Prós: Very personable family like atmosphere and service. Setting was spectacular

Contras: Very isolated

Prós: Staff excellent owners Craig and Vince always present and attending to your needs!

Contras: The beds were very hard and the sheets were very old and pilly

Prós: From the moment we came Danny was really nice to us , explained us about where to go and what to do. The Location it's on the ocean! Highly recommended

Prós: Very very low rate for the money - toooo expensive ! -douche not OK -noise -staff not working as staaf/ no pay attention for the client....

Contras: stay at the sea front

Prós: Very friendly and helpful staff, clean and quiet room, close to all the restaurants in town as well as to the airport (walking distance).

Prós: Decent overwater location, slightly outside of town but walking distance. Nice public areas. Hot water and AC.

Contras: The hotel is decent but is showing its age. I expected more for the price. The walls and ceilings are very thin so we heard foot steps, thumps, and door slams all night. Hard to get a good night's sleep. The coffee was ridiculously expensive, we paid $4 for 2 espressos and only got about an ounce of coffee each.

Prós: Nice location, great view in evening

Prós: A vista para o mar! O por do sol! A simpatia das pessoas! A localização, é próximo dos pontos com mais movimento da cidade.

Contras: Aiir condition pointed direct on bed potentially bad for health.

Prós: The staff went out of their way to make us feel at home. Alejandro booked our ATV ride with Flying Pirates which was incredible, Rebecca cooked for us, Rosa cleaned with a smile, Luis was night security and so kind.

Contras: It was a great stay for our family.

Prós: Location is great, in quiet part of town and residential feel to neighborhood while still close to good bars and restaurants. Was nice sitting on deck looking out at water. Price was pretty low so not a terrible deal. For two-night stay while finding better place it worked well.

Contras: Very basic room. I was with my wife and nowhere to put clothes, no table, no refrigerator, shower door very tough to close. No reading light. Not really hot water. Can easily hear into neighbouring rooms. Nice bar/restaurant on dock facing water but it only opened for breakfast, although you could sit out on tables anytime. A little disappointing overall.

Contras: A janela do wc estava partida, a cama de fraca qualidade e as paredes entre quartos parecem de papel.

Prós: Staff was very helpful.

Contras: The bathrooms need serious updates and cleaned up. Screens are missing or bent, black mold everywhere, window pains are missing. No bedside lamp or stand. We were on the 3rd floor and no elevator.

Prós: O hotel está sobre a água e perto do centro

Contras: O hotel precisa de obras, está bastante degradado. O pequeno almoço tem 2 opcoes: ovos ou panquecas. Não tem nada durante o dia: café, água ou comida.
