Bocas del Toro Hotel Deals
"The location was excellent and the restaurant was really great. However the highlight of this hotel was the staff. While you don’t typically go to Bocas for “amenities” the staff went out of their way to be helpful and friendly- especially Janelli. She not only greeted us every time she saw us with a warm and genuine smile, she was crucial in helping us plan our days, made phone calls, walked us places and translated for us. She is truly a gem to this hotel."
"The property was going through a remodel/construction project. The restaurant/bar area was nice. The pool wasn't as big as expected based on the pictures; more than two couples in the pool felt crowded. Outside of that, the room was nice. The view was perfect. The staff was amazing."
"The staff is friendly and helpful, and the hotel’s location is ideal. As a solo traveler, I felt completely safe. I would definitely stay there again."
"This was a fabulous place to stay. We had a partial ocean view room, and the view from the balcony was beautiful. The air conditioning was very good, and the hotel had bright, modern design with incredibly welcoming and friendly staff. Cafe overlooking the bay was also nice."
"Beautiful B&B in town, and very helpful staff who helped any time I had questions. The room was quaint and the A/C worked well. Had options for made-to-order breakfasts and a cute upstairs area with an honor bar. Able to keep things in a community fridge with sections for each room."
"Crap"
"We’re a very low key couple. We like a clean space with all of the amenities. The beach access, the restaurant, the staff and the vibes were exactly what we needed."
