J and H Garden Cabinas, hotel in Bocas Town

Providing a garden, J and H Garden Cabinas offers accommodations in Bocas Town. With garden views, this accommodation provides a terrace.

Ely is super helpful and nice, the property is in the middle of the island so gives you privacy and is very quiet and good for relaxing. The kitchen has everything you need, I just cooked my breakfast there but pretty sure you can cook your daily 3-5 meals. The terrace space is beautiful for reading, chill and to see the new year fireworks :)

Hostal Hansi, hotel in Bocas Town

Hostal Hansi is in Bocas del Toro, 17 minutes' walk from El Istmito Beach. It is 164 feet from the docks. All rooms are private, some have a terrace, TV, air conditioning and hot water.

It’s a nice hostel just next to the docks in Bocas Town so very convenient location, multiple supermarkets around as well as restaurants and all tour operators. Also the local busses around the main island leave from the street behind. The beds are comfy and rooms spacious. No AC in most of Bocas hostels, we had a ceiling fan that didn’t rotate very fast so it got quite humid at times in the room but we had a little balcony to dry our stuff there. There is a common kitchen with good facilities and first time I see the fridges divided into sections by the room numbers, which was amazing. Another guest though still decided to steal our food (caught on security cameras) but the hostel staff handled it fantastically. We also got an extra blanket when requested and wanted to extend our stay with one more night and that was also immediately arranged for us.

    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).
