Tropical Suites Hotel
Tropical Suits has bed bugs, and the staff did nothing to resolve the problem. They repeatedly told us that they spray Lysol. What a joke! 200.00 a night for nothing.

Cosmic Crab Resort
Great staff! Great amenities for the price. Location was an issue at times getting transport to/from restaurants tours but overall good stay for a relaxing vacation.

Bocas Paradise Hotel
We booked waterfront not thinking that water taxis are way louder than cars. The room was fine, it will need an upgrade soon. The breakfast was good and the service a bit weak.

Hotel Eclypse de Mar Acqua Lodge
The bed was comfortable, the room spacious and there was lots of hot water. Breakfast was good and it was easy to get a water taxi. The ecological reserve in back was nice. We fed the turtles.

Red Frog Beach Island Resort
Staff were great, Oliver took extra care of us and issues that arose. Great location, pool and beach were great. Using their shuttle to get around was helpful as the staff would point out sloths or red frogs and share information.
