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. Being on the beach is wonderful. You can hear the waves and enjoy life. The kitchen is clean an stocked with good supplies to cook. Bring Food there is really no grocery stores unless you want to take a bus ride into Bocas Town which is 30 minute one way. The bus stops right in front of the location. There are a few restaurants close by. The rooms are basic and the walls are thin but I found most guest to be respectful and lovely. This is not a party house or location more of a quiet family or solo traveler spot. The beach right outside is good to walk on. The trail to StarFish beach has many options to relax in the ocean and enjoy life.

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.

Featuring a shared lounge, terrace and free WiFi, Cliff's Hostel is set in La Gruta, less than 1 km from Istmito and 2.4 km from Y Griega Beach. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and a tour desk for guests. I had a really lovely time at Cliff’s Hostel. The dorms are small (just 4 beds), which made it feel much more comfortable and relaxed compared to those big 10-bed dorms. The common area is super well designed – there's a hammock, a pool table, and plenty of space to just chill. It's a great place to relax and meet other travelers. The location is also good, though honestly, everything in town is quite close, so it was easy to get around. Breakfast (DIY in a local Panamanian style), starting at 8 am. But when I said that I have to leave earlier, Alexander (the host) actually got up before 7 just so I could have breakfast. He was also incredibly supportive when we talk about my diving course, always encouraging and helpful. Even after I moved out of the hostel, I had an important university exam and needed a favor, Alexander was kind enough to help me out. A warm, welcoming place with great energy. Would definitely recommend!

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.

The rooms are equipped with air conditioning, private bathroom fitted with a hot water shower. Surfari Bocas features free WiFi throughout the property. It has an excelent location and the staff was very welcoming. We stayed at the little apartment they have, it has its own kitchen and we were able to make our own breakfast. The woom was pretty clean, besides some little roaches (inevitable in the area) the stay was pretty awesome. They let us leave our luggage while waiting for the next check-in in another hostel.
