Bambuda Lodge, hotel in Boca del Drago

Bambuda Lodge is located in the tropical rain forest in Bocas del Toro. The property features a coral reef off its dock and a swimming pool with an on-site bar and a fun and social atmosphere.

Everything was great except for two things. Location was great with awesome views, own dock, pool, and a trail behind the property Food was good, both breakfast and dinner Access might be a challenge for some since reaching the property will require going up steps and an uphill ramp

El Jaguar, hotel in Boca del Drago

Located in Bocas Town, El Jaguar has a shared lounge, bar and free WiFi. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. Staff on site can arrange a shuttle service....

My favorite place to stay in Bocas.. Jaguar and his staff are super friendly and helpful… The 3 hour happy hour is great, the two kitchens are greatly needed when it’s busy and the location over the water is perfect for relaxing in the hammocks… Also, the improvements to Old Bank and the trail to Wizard Beach itself have helped with the whole experience.

    Brand New hostel, all is very clean and the beds are so comfortable... It is out of the busy town, but you have a lovely Pool where you can hang out and there is a huge kitchen also where you can cook. But dont forget to do the grocery before in town... However the best are the lovely hosts Andrea with her husband and brother Aldo, they really make you feel welcome and at home :)

    the owners were so nice and accommodating! they will take care of you and offer rides into town free, but it’s kind to offer payment. the beds are very comfy, and each one has a fan, outlets, and a lamp attached to the wall. there are even curtains for privacy on the bunk beds! additionally, the slide is very fast and very fun and the pool is incredible.

    Superb Hostel! Dorms are spacious enough, beds are comfy, with your own reading light and fan. Large kitchen, enough bathrooms and showers and all very clean. The swimming-pool (there is a toboggan too!!) and the bar are an extra. The staff and the owners did verything to make me feel at home. It was a great choice!

    ,Staff were super friendly, they felt like family. Water slide were amazing. The staff offered us transportation to & from town. Anything you need from town, the staff is super helpful helping you find it. 10 out of 10, i will be returning for my last night in Bocas Del Toro. I will be going scubadiving with Aldo, one of the managers at the hostel. Alcohol prices are very reasonable, cheaper than in town.
