Hostels in Bocas del Toro Province

"High marks for the area because the owners care, are very helpful, and try to anticipate your needs, along with suggesting a variety of options and opportunities to fill your time. Current city-wide street reconstruction gives a few challenges so don't wear your good shoes. Double room was a little cramped but had all the basics plus a modern shower. Kitchen and fridge available if needed, but don't miss the included breakfast. There are stairs but luggage assistance if needed."

"A very comfortable stay, really clean with helpful staff.It takes around 20min to get to the center of the island. "

"Just a quick boat ride from Bocas Del Toro to a super cute small waterfront resort with pool bar and restaurant ! Staff was very helpful with tours and directions to give the water taxis for what piers and so on "

"The staff was amazing. The food was good. The room was beautiful. I stayed in one of the above water bungalows. The only downfall is there is very little to do nearby. You are pretty much stranded on this island unless you arrange some kind of transport or tour. If you’re looking for a vacation where you can totally check out from the world this is it. If you’re looking for a place to do lots of activities, this is not. Management took care of everything I asked for, including an unexpected early arrival. "

"This was the perfect ecolodge on the water! Maria, who owns and manages the lodge, always went over and above for our family to arrange day trips/boat rides to town and provided amazing travel guidance. We needed to charge our phones at reception but it was a small price to pay for a beautiful and unique Panama experience with great rooms and gorgeous views. We ate our breakfasts and lunches on site but preferred the restaurants in town for dinner. Our teens loved it and want to go back! Highly recommend! "

"Have a great time! Beauyplaxe and the staff was so nice!"

"Loved it here! We stayed at Oasis Bluff Beach Resort for 3 nights. If you are looking for a relaxing, quiet, and beautiful atmosphere.....this is the place! Right on the beach, lush jungle behind. Often, we had the beach all to ourselves and at most there might have been 10-12 people. It is a popular beach for surfing and it was fun to watch the surfers. Waves seemed too big for swimming, but a nice beach for sitting and walking. It is a mid-range eco resort with a great restaurant and bar. Lots of variety and every meal was excellent. You can have food/drinks delivered on the beach or eat on the deck of the hotel with a view of the beach. It is not very big, so not crowded and very personalized. The owner & staff are super nice and friendly. Always willing to help. They will help you schedule excursions and taxis. There are fun things to do at the hotel.....pool table, ping pong, foosball, bocce, books, board games, etc. I give 5/5 stars for this resort and the location. I give 0 stars for the road to get to the resort. That's the only thing I didn't care for. For about 18 minutes of the ride, it is a narrow, dirt road with major potholes all over. Very bumpy. I can't imagine what it's like when it is raining. The condition of the road is probably why this area is not overly developed. Which is a good thing. It keeps the vibe nice, and not busy. But, I think it would be more comfortable with a paved road. "

"This property is a gem! We stayed a week in December and had an all around lovely stay. The bungalows were clean and so relaxing. Everyone on the staff was friendly and went out of their way to accommodate the guests. We went out several times on excursions with Alejandro and had A experiences. Don't bother booking water excursions in town. You can just book thru the resort. In December it was still raining most days, which made the water at the resort murky. However, Alejandro took us to clear locations for amazing snorkeling! We will definitely return. "

"Super nice"
