1. El Caribeo - Nature Lodge

Tierra Oscura

"A two-night stay at this charming hotel on Cristobal Island, tucked away from all noise. Nature at its best. Freshly caught lobsters and seafood, and the best gourmet breakfasts and dinners prepared by the owners. We shared laughs, stories, and karaoke in the evenings with other guests. They also coordinate tours and other activities on the beaches and surrounding islands. Also I recommend this wonderful place for a Pilates retreat - Yoga - Family reunion promotion, etc."

12. 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...

Hotel Palma Royale

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing. Super great location."

Punta Caracol Acqua Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Caracol was rustic but magical. The staff was lovely and it’s so peaceful surrounded by water. Being able to step off my private dock and swim was a delight, and I spent lots of time in my hammock. The restaurant was tasty and the staff was helpful for arranging boat transfers if you wanted to go places."

NAYARA Bocas del Toro

10/10 Excellent

"NAYARA is everything they say your experience will be! Incredible hotel with incredible views, the people are very friendly and provide a truly unique customer experience."

Oasis Bluff Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Magnifique hôtel face à la plage. Cadre idyllique autant pour les chambres que les espaces extérieurs. Nous avons en plus eu la change d'être surclassé. Le personnel est vraiment très gentil et attentionné. On peut voir des singes, des paresseux... Le restaurant propose des plats excellents. L'hôtel se trouve à une vingtaine de minutes du centre. Ce n'est pas gênant mais il faut en tenir compte pour prévoir ses déplacements."

Bocas Paradise Hotel

"Great location, great views from the king suite, it rained all day we were there and went and grabbed food and a coffee from the cafe/restaurant downstairs, it was lovely. Staff was kind, attentive and courteous. We had a great stay."

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!!!"
