Recent Reviews in Changuinola

Bocas Paradise Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nos encantó el hotel,el aseo ,el trato y la experiencia fue inolvidable !si en algún momento volvemos de fijo que escogemos el mismo hotel"

Cabañas Naturaleza

8/10 Good

"房间晚上有蚊子，却没有驱蚊的喷药院里树上有一个啄木鸟，老在那边嗑木头，好像有人敲门"

Hotel Bocas del Toro

10/10 Excellent

"Great room overlooking the water with a nice comfortable covered balcony. Right in the middle of many bars restaurants and shopping. All of the staff were super friendly!"

Koko Acqua Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time and the location was a perfect fit. The bay is quiet and beautiful to enjoy some outside the center. Still reachable in a short taxi ride, all was great and we truly enjoyed Boca del Toro!"

Punta Caracol Acqua Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Nuestra experiencia en Punta Caracol fue muy bonita. Es un lugar encantador, rodeado de naturaleza, con una ubicación privilegiada y paisajes espectaculares. Nos encantó especialmente poder hacer snorkeling y disfrutar del mar. Es un lugar maravilloso para visitar en familia, ya que los niños disfrutan muchísimo de esta experiencia. Además, su ubicación es estratégica para conocer otros lugares de Bocas del Toro. Como aspectos por mejorar, consideramos importante mencionar que las habitaciones no cuentan con refrigerador y que, para conservar algunos alimentos o cargar los teléfonos, es necesario acudir al restaurante, lo cual resulta un poco incómodo. También notamos que algunas instalaciones muestran señales de deterioro y necesitan mantenimiento para conservar la belleza del lugar. A pesar de estos detalles, nos llevamos una experiencia muy bonita en familia. Es un destino con muchísimo encanto y potencial. Con algunas mejoras en sus instalaciones y comodidades, la experiencia sería aún más especial. ¡Sin duda, un lugar que disfrutamos mucho y que recordaremos con cariño!"

La Coralina Island House

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful property with many amenities and excellent breakfast options. Their restaurant was probably the best overall too. The morning yoga classes were an added bonus. La Coralina is about 15 minutes away from the town, so if you’re looking to walk around and be close to everything then this is not the right resort for you. They do have taxi service to and from the resort for $5 each person, which adds up pretty quickly. If you’re looking to get away from the noise and enjoy nature and sense of calm, then this is the right choice. I definitely do not recommend bringing children here, as they will be bored. Things I wished I knew ahead of time: 1. They will arrange for air port pickup 2. You can order anything on the breakfast menu. It’s all included and free. 3. The receptionist will arrange taxi rides to and from the resort. Just ask them ahead of time. 4. Get their WhatsApp number to communicate your travel to and from town. 5. Yoga included and no need to reserve. 6. Be sure you get the spa schedule ahead of time so you know about the activities. 7. You’re in the middle of the jungle so enjoy the trails. 8. When leaving the resort, walk to the right of the building to find a few nice spots with sandy beaches. There’s nothing going to the left side except dirt roads. You will need a taxi."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Great place in a little paradise with the perfect beach front location. A place to slow down, recharge and rest. One of those places you will come back again and again. Operated by the owners in a very family way, making you feel like home"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Changuinola?

The best area to stay in Changuinola is the town centre, particularly around Avenida 17 de Abril and Calle 1.This area is the commercial and administrative heart of Changuinola. It's where you'll find the main banks, shops, and local eateries. The streets are generally organised in a grid pattern, making it easy to navigate on foot, and it provides convenient access to local transport options.For business travellers, staying in the town centre is ideal due to its proximity to government offices and major businesses.

When is the best time to go to Changuinola?

The best time to go to Changuinola, Bocas del Toro Province, Panama, is during the drier months of February to April and September to October.These periods offer the most favourable weather for exploring the region's natural beauty, with less rainfall and more sunshine.

You'll find it more comfortable to enjoy the area's attractions without the frequent downpours that characterise other times of the year.For those planning to enjoy the beaches and marine activities, these drier months provide clearer waters for snorkelling and diving, and more pleasant conditions for sunbathing and swimming.
