I had the best time at Cataleya Hostel! The hostel is super cozy, chill and clean. It has everything you need. The location is perfect, right next to the airport, and it is just a 5-minute walk from the center of town. Lovely staff, Santi, Rami, Laura and Juan make you feel at home, always ready to help you and give you tips on what to do and where to go. I would definitely recommend it! Forever grateful!!

Hostal Bocas Tropical Paradise, hotel in Bocas del Toro

Hostal Bocas Tropical Paradise is located in Bocas del Toro, just 800 metres from the Town. It offers an on-site tour desk and free Wi-Fi.

We liked this so much that we booked extra nights here. The fact it's not in the centre of Bocas town makes it quiet. The coffee-maker was a lovely thought and much-used, and everything was great. Handy supermarket literally less than a minute round to the right; easy to catch a taxi from town ($2) and equally easy to walk if you don't have heavy packs. Check-in time is clearly communicated, but you can dump bags if need to. Else just stay in the centre and have lunch or cold drinks in a cafe before heading out. The rooms are peaceful, air-con works, the kitchen area has everything you need (more than most other similar kitchenettes we experienced) and the people are absolutely lovely whether by email or in person.

    It’s really a lovely hostel right at (above) the water. My room was really great and felt way bigger than it looks on the photos. The owner and the staff were super friendly. I can recommend the happy hour 🤣

    Loved staying at Skullys. Great spot. Very well thought out and welcoming. The dorm rooms are amazing, built like the inside of a ship! Very well equipped kitchens and good food storage. Staff are very professional and helpful. Activities going on which the locals come to so great place to meet people. Restaurants on site, can be a bit hit and miss. It’s 3kms from town but only a short taxi ride which they can organise for you.

    My stay was amazing - great hosts, delicious food, super peaceful on the island. You can go paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming, snorkelling - all from the house. Each house has a small gardenarea around it which is covered so it feels very private. There is also a pool ! You can't leave the place to go to any shops because the only way out is by boat, which feels very luxurious !

    Positive vibes from locals in general - mostly hardworking and pleasant people. Unfortunately and in contrast to the general vibe of the islands, our host was extremely rude. We would suggest that you go give your positive energy, enthusiasm to travel and money to other professionals in the region who better deserve that.

    Excelent choice in Bocas Town. Very good location. Close (by walk) to main boat docks and restaurant and bars. In pool area is very good chilli vibe. Staff is really nice and helpful, especially on recepcion. They organized everything for us, even the tours and boat took us on the hotel pier (so you dont need to negotiate with locals on street).
