Situated in Carenero and within 1.5 km of Istmito, Hostal Blue Olas has a bar, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi throughout the property.

The rooms have a private bathroom with a shower, while selected rooms also boast a terrace and others also feature sea views. We had a great time! The hostel is very close to the centre. The host is very friendly, taught us how to make the most delicous crab pasta! He gave us great tips on boat tours/ restaurants/ shuttles etc. The room was clean and a very nice bathroom. You can also swim at the hotel, and it has a spacious ‘chill’ area. Would definitly come here again!!.

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.

Bastimentos Hill Guest House has a garden, private beach area, a shared lounge and terrace in Bocas del Toro. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, room service and organising tours for guests.

At the hostel you will find a restaurant serving African, American and Italian cuisine. A vegetarian option can also be requested. Beautiful stay on Bastimentos! If you would like a more tranquil stay and aren't in Bocas to party, this is the perfect spot. I spent two weeks at Bastimentos Hill Guesthouse and couldn't recommend more! I work remotely, and Enrique kindly made sure I had somewhere to comfortably work. The wifi was stable and strong, with only one or two short power cuts during my stay.

Set in Boca del Drago, this beachfort property offers accommodation in Bocas Town. The property is a 20 minutes walk from Playa Estrella.

The unit fitted with a kitchen, four rooms with provate bathroom, living room and private access to the beach. Towels and bed linen are available at Drago Beach Lodge. Other facilities at Drago Beach Lodge include a terrace and hammocks. The location was simply amazing, in front of a beautiful beach with quite calm waters. The garden is well kept, I can't understand other comments saying that it is not well maintained. The rooms are big enough, water in the bathroom was always warm and the air conditioning worked perfectly. The kitchen is well equipped and there is plenty of space for all guests with lovely spots where one can relax. You can have you laundry cleaned for 5 dollars. The care taker Ariel is helpful and friendly. We loved this place, if you're not into luxury hotels just go for it
