18. Nowhere

Bocas del Toro

"The staff is very helpful and attentive, the hotel is beautiful, sparkling clean and the garden is lush. I need to mention that entry with a vehicle can be be difficult because the gate can be opened only from the reception and if no one is available, there is just no way to open it. And it is a longish walk from the gate to the hotel, which we had to do under pouring rain to get to our taxi outside. Other than that, the stay was amazing and even better than expected for the price. Honestly...

Cosmic Crab Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great place for stay, thank you to JUNIOR and ALESSANDRA WONDERFUL STAFF 💙, We definitely came back 😀 so happy to choose COSMIC CRAB 🦀"

Red Frog Beach Island Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the resort, Esthefany and the entire staff were very accommodating and made certain that all of our needs were met. The resort offers a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere and the views were picturesque. We enjoyed a private boat tour of the island which included snorkeling, dolphin watching, and relaxation at the beach and we also participated in the zip line experience. Orbitz did not provide an option to add on the transfer from the airport to the boat tender (less than 5 mins away) but there was a gentleman from the resort that shuttled our group to the tender upon arrival. Great experience!!!"

Charming Tiny House, 1 minute walk to surf and beaches, peaceful.

10/10 Excellent

"There was lots of privacy and peacefulness. Nice wall muralsand plenty of seating options, room felt very spacious. In case it rains there all kinds of US streaming services. Kitchen was complete with welcome ground coffee,teas and spices. AC works really well even by American standards. Yes there is a 5 gallon tank of potable water. And within a 5 minute walk there is a convenience store which had the basic necessities even sourdough bread and IPA beer aside from other regular brands. There was nothing more we could have asked for with one exception being a handrail for the steep stairs for the elderly traveler. But will certainly recommend this place to others. Host was also very flexible with move in and out times. Was very enjoyable."

Hotel Eclypse de Mar Acqua Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This was our favourite stop on our 3 week trip. This property is a piece of paradise. The bungalow over the water was amazing - clean and spacious! The breakfast was wonderful and the lunch and dinner options were also amazing. We loved the nature trail and we made good use of the paddle boards on offer. However, the best thing about this hotel is the staff. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel like family. All of the staff were so kind, friendly and helpful. They were wonderful with our 16 month old. Special shout out to Rafia (sorry if this is spelt wrong) - he was brilliant with our son! This hotel will always be our favourite holiday destination. Thank you so much everyone, we hope to be vac one day!"

Bocas Beachfront Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We really did not know what to expect going to Bocas del Toro for the first time. We could not have picked a more perfect spot. World class surfing out the front door, million dollar room views, a beautiful beach and snorkeling that rolls up onto the beach bar. Staff is extraordinary, in fact, everyone was incredibly friendly, kind and helpful! The property is beautiful. Very clean, safe and quiet. The lodge staff and owners went over and beyond to accommodate any requests we made. 12/10! We are already planning a return trip! Highly recommend!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Carenero Island?

The best area to stay on Carenero Island is along its northern and western coasts, offering convenient access to Bocas Town and lovely waterfront views.The northern coast, particularly near the main dock, is where you'll find most of the guesthouses and hotels. This area is quite peaceful, with properties often featuring overwater bungalows or direct beach access. It's a short, affordable water taxi ride across to Bocas Town on Isla Colón, which is great for those who want to enjoy Carenero's relaxed atmosphere while still having easy access to Bocas Town's restaurants and nightlife.Couples often find the secluded feel of the western coast particularly appealing. Here, accommodations tend to be more spread out, offering greater privacy. You can enjoy quiet evenings with sunset views over the water, and many places provide kayaks or paddleboards for exploring the calm waters directly from your doorstep.

When is the best time to go to Carenero Island?

The best time to go to Carenero Island is during the driest months, typically from February to April and again in September and October.These periods offer the most sunshine and calmest seas, which are ideal for enjoying the island's beaches, water sports, and boat trips to nearby attractions. While Bocas del Toro has a tropical climate year-round, these months generally see less rainfall and more consistent good weather.For travellers interested in water activities like snorkelling, diving, or surfing, these dry seasons provide the best conditions. The clearer waters enhance visibility for underwater exploration, and the gentler waves are superb for beginners or those looking to relax on the water.Those looking for a relaxing beach holiday will also appreciate these times.
