Featuring a shared lounge, restaurant, bar and free WiFi, Bambuda Bocas Town is located in Bocas del Toro, less than 1 km from Istmito and 2.4 km from Y Griega Beach. Certain rooms at the property include a balcony with a city view. I stayed in the sea view dorm for 4 for this part of my trip and the dorm was lovely. Great facilities, lovely view, expensive treat and wished I'd not messed my dates up as I might have spoilt myself and stayed there rather than going to the 6 bed dorm as the 4 bed dorm I first stayed in was true to life in the pictures and I got lulled into a false sense of security by the pictures on the web site showing the 6 bed dorm which in fact looked nothing like the pictures which was a shame. This party of my stay exceeded my expectations the 2nd but didn't x

Aqua Lounge features a shared lounge, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Bocas del Toro. 90 metres from Carenero Beach, the property features a range of water sports facilities. The accommodation provides karaoke and a shared kitchen.

Guests at the hostel can enjoy an à la carte or a continental breakfast. This was an amazing place where to stay during our trip to Bocas del Toro. The dooble room was very comfortable and clean with air conditioning. The restaurant had really tasty food for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. It also served great cocktails and drinks. Even though it is a party hostel, our double room was quite separate from the common area so the noise was not a problem for us. We took earplugs with us and we were able to have a proper rest during our 3 nights there. This place was especially convenient on Friday, as we attended the Filthy Friday party and we could hop to our room whenever we wanted. Would definitely recommend as the value for money was definitely worth it.

Owned by the sweetest woman named Marta Brown. She is such a great host and makes sure everything is clean and that you are very well taken care of. This is the coziest stay I had so far. It feels intimate and has everything you need. Perfectly sized kitchen, storage place for your belongings. The house is on the water so you fall asleep to the sounds of the waves hitting the house and wake up to the sea view and daily life. This is a nice and quiet area as well so perfect for those who want to be in a peaceful environment.
