This is the second time we stayed. Two years ago we satyed here after coming back from other island. This time, our flight got cancelled so we chose this hotel to stay. Nice old Boca style wooden building is nice and a shared big terrace on second floor is very nice. But room is just ok. What you pay is... More

This is the 2nd stay at the hotel but this time is my last visit. The room smelled of urine. The ceiling was freshly painted but a dropcloth was not used so the floor looked polka dotted. In the morning there was no hot water for the shower. The room is poorly furnished and dark. The room rate was $83... More

My advice, check some other... More

Bahia hotel served our purposes of having somewhere to sleep and eat breakfast. The breakfast was good but Bahia was nothing special, you can find better for the amount of money they charge.

I stayed here with my family and another family for 3 nights, after staying a couple of nights at the Hotel Angela. The Bahia cost more, with extra unexpected charges for my kids (10, 13). This is my second visit to Bocas, and I think this hotel is typical of the hotels in the $80-$100 range. Decent air-conditioning (a must... More

This a great find. A clean and quiet hotel on the edge of Bocas. The best part was that there is a huge balcony on the second floor where there are chairs for relaxing or reading. The balcony is covered, so it was a great spot to be outside during the rainy season. Make sure to get up for breakfast,... More

During our honeymoon at Bocas del Toro, Panama, an enormous storm hit the area and we were stranded for four extra days on the islands while waiting for any plane to be able to land at the airport. We had no hotel reservations for those extra nights. The added kicker was that all ATMs, phone lines, internet and credit card... More

My girlfriend and I stayed here our first 2 nights on the island. We would have made it our place to stay for the whole week but we didnt not reserve prior to our trip so we would have an option to try other places and they did not have vacancy. We paid $68 per night which is slightly higher... More

We stayed our 1st night in Bocas here. It is a great old building, the rooms were clean and air conditioned. The breakfast was good and included with the room rate of 85.00 per night for 4 of us. The only bad part was having to carry our heavy bags up to the 2nd floor.

We stayed here for 3 days and found it to be comfortable and clean. It's located at the far end of town, yet in a town the size of Bocas everything is still within walking distance. This place may be old, but it is very well kept. I especially liked the beautiful floors that looked like some kind of Rosewood.... More
