My wife and I traveled to Bocas to see friends that moved there recently. They suggested staying at Hotel Oasis. We did not look it up to see what it looked like because we wanted everything to be new. Once we got there, it was better than we could have imaged. Jose and Mayra were very loving, helpful and bent... More

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful 2-night stay at Hotel Oasis. This was our first trip to Bocas del Toro(Carenero Island) and we hope to return very soon. Jose and Maya(managers/owners) made us feel welcome the very first second we stepped on the dock of their property. They were very helpful with recommendations for dining and tours and the... More

Writing a good review about Hotel Oasis is going to be easy. I can't think of a single bad thing I can say. To set the scene we initially had a very poor night in a Bocas hostel and immediately searched for a new place to stay for our remaining two nights. We found Oasis from the good reviews and... More

Wow!! How welcoming the manager made my friends, family and myself feel. I would defianatly recommend that anyone looking for a place to relax and close to local beaches stay in this hohtel. The rooms were very clean, the staff very welcoming and the accomadating without the over exspense of other places to stay on the islands.

The rooms have air conditioning and hot water. The bar is on the water, the beer is cheap, and the food is good. Jose and his girlfriend are some of the nicest people in the world. They helped me negotiate with the taxi drivers and recommended places to go. I will definitely stay here next time I am in Bocas... More

Jose the owner and his wonderful wife made our entire trip. The Hotel is clean and quiet, breakfast is included and the Bar is always open! Very friendly and knowledgeable about where to go and how to get there. Will stay there again when we go back.

Everyone that works here made our trip so much more amazing. The rooms were HUGE, CLEAN and had AC. We had a room for 4 days, and ended up staying for 3 more. We will never forget our stay and will definitely be back.
