At the hotel, each room comes with a wardrobe and a balcony with a garden view. With a private bathroom equipped with a shower and free toiletries, rooms at S Boutique Hotel also offer free WiFi, while selected rooms are equipped with a sea view. Guest rooms at the accommodation include air conditioning and a desk. We booked this place quite blindly for 6 nights after a business trip to Panama City. We came without any big expectations, but this hotel turned out to be the best choice! Built and maintained at high European standards, this hotel offers a very pleasant stay, away from the city, which can be a bit too chaotic. There is absolutely nothing negative to write about this hotel, but let me touch on some negative comments about the distance and road from the center of Bocas. The hotel is 10km from the city Centre amid in the nature, something we really appreciated. There is a cheap bus available about 6 times a day, we also rented bikes just around the corner or used taxi. I can imagine that a drunk taxi ride back to this hotel in the night can be uncomfortable, but if you are this kind of traveler, then probably this is just not the right place for you. The staff ist very present and helpful, all speak fluently English (this is not self explanatory here!). The hotel is new, better than many others here around and it looks like in the pictures (or even nicer!). The food is freshly prepared three times a day and better than anyplace else we ate! Especially the green Thai curry was amazing. There is fresh water available all the time and they offer good Cocktails. The Bluff beach is just across the “road” and is probably one of the nicest beaches we visited, with very few tourists. We felt really safe all the time. Sloths, monkeys, frogs, birds and small crabs can be observed directly from the hotel garden. Price-value is just on spot! Other guests were also nice and calm, the atmosphere was very warm and friendly the whole time of our stay.

Situated within 1.7 km of Y Griega Beach in Bocas del Toro, Villa Bahia Del Sol features accommodation with seating area. The property has sea and mountain views, and is 400 metres from Istmito. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. My daughter and I stayed in the king suite with view of the water. Other reviews said the room was hot but we were actually cold and used a blanket due to the water breeze and fan. The room also had an outdoor shower and hot tub. David was an excellent host and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed.

Set in Bocas del Toro, a few steps from Bluff, La Coralina Island House offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness centre and a garden. Featuring a private beach area, the 5-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. Guests can enjoy international dishes at the restaurant or have a cocktail at the bar. Beautiful place. Amazing facilities. If you are looking for a slice of comfort and wellness, but with a remote feel, this is the spot. We only spent 3 days here, but we left feeling the staff were very friendly, the buildings were beautiful and bed was very comfortable. We had our own suite, separate to any other rooms with a sea view l, deck and a huge 4 poster. Nice and cool with the aircon because it was humid and hot in the wet season. Access to lots of beaches and tours through the main town or a short drive north to bluff beach, the hotel has a driver who will ferry you. Food was great. Not a huge amount of options but to be expected with the remoteness of location, breakfast was great. The gym was great and empty. We didn't do any of the classes, but used the sauna and plunge every morning, which was a saviour. We spent about 800 dollars in the hotel on food, drinks, a day tour of the islands and tips between the two of us in 3 days. Only thing is it takes a bit of travel if you are coming from outside the country, you will need to transfer airports in panama city and get a regional flight to bocas del toro. But that's an expected trade off for the environment. You deal with the front desk through WhatsApp which was so convenient, much better method than through the room phone, but there is always someone at the front desk too. We got engaged while here and the staff were very supportive. Loved it

Located just 1.3 km from Y Griega Beach, La Luciernaga Big Creek features accommodation in Bocas del Toro with access to a garden, barbecue facilities, as well as a shared kitchen. There is a private entrance at the bed and breakfast for the convenience of those who stay. The bed and breakfast provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. Carlo and his wife are friendly and attentive hosts. The rooms matched the photos. The wifi worked well. You can cook or have food delivered to the outdoor dining area. The hotel is about 700 meters from Pipa Beach, which is one of the few beaches on Isla Colon that is good for swimming because it has sand and no waves. My wife needed a taxi to go to Pipa Beach because the roads are under construction and covered with big stones. The hotel is a short taxi ride to Bocas Town for restaurants and boat excursions.

RIVA B&B in Bocas del Toro provides adults-only accommodation with a garden and a shared lounge. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace. Outdoor seating allows guests to enjoy the fresh air. Absolutely amazing place! The location on Isla Carenero is perfect—offering both privacy and easy access to everything via boat taxi. The swimming opportunities right outside were fantastic! Our host, Ania, was incredibly caring and helpful, providing us with excellent recommendations for activities and restaurants. The breakfast was delightful, with everything we could wish for, and was served on a beautiful terrace right by the water. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

At the resort, every room is equipped with a desk and a balcony with a mountain view. With a private bathroom equipped with a shower and free toiletries, rooms at Villa F&B also provide guests with a sea view. All units include a safety deposit box. This was the most perfect hotel I’ve ever stayed at- it was like he stayed in each suite to make sure everything was comfortable. Benoit was an amazing host. He was very calm and created a relaxing environment. The decor was gorgeous and tastefully executed. Food was fantastic which was prepared by him and his wife - they make a great duo. Benoit offers all the services and tours you need, without being pushy. This place could not be any cleaner - 10s all around!

Situated in Bastimentos, Ataraxia features free WiFi, and guests can enjoy a garden, a terrace and a restaurant.

There is a fully equipped private bathroom with shower and free toiletries.

Breakfast is available, and includes à la carte, continental and vegetarian options. I still dream of Ataraxia and its beautiful surroundings. The food was exquisite, super fresh and homemade. (Also great for vegetarians). The free use of kayaks and snorkelling gear was great, we even spotted a dolphin from the dock. The staff is super friendly and make you feel right at home without being intrusive.
