19. 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...

Tropical Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We traveled with 2 other couples and had a lovely experience at Tropical Suites. Everyone from the front desk staff to the restaurant staff was pleasant and helpful. We ate in the on-site restaurant for several meals and the food was always tasty no matter the selection or time. Our room had a kitchen area and was a good size. They left complimentary champagne as a welcome gift. We travel to Bocas at least once a year if not more. This was our first stay here and we will absolutely be back. The hotel is centrally located steps away from the boat docks, shopping and cute cafes."

Bambuda Bocas Town - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"I absolutely loved it here! I stayed 3 nights with my husband and the only regret we had was not upgrading to the king suite. The rooms were clean and beautifully decorated. The restaurant and deck were amazing. The food…let’s have a moment of silence for how incredible the food was. Breakfast was included with our stay and it was really a great deal because everything on the menu was exceptional. The drinks were also phenomenal. Even if you don’t stay here go to the restaurant. There were also daily activities organized by the hotel, like yoga, paddle boarding and a pub crawl. Most nights had live entertainment. I highly recommend this place. I will most certainly stay again."

Bocas Beachfront Lodge

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.
