My wife Susan and I just returned from several days in Bocas del Toro, Panama, where we stayed at Cocomo on the sea. We have been vacationing in Bocas for a number of years, and have stayed at a number of small b & b's there. Cocomo on the sea just felt like home to us. Everything just suited us, from the fridge in the hall with cold drinks, beer, and water -all on the honor system; the family seating style at breakfast with made to order omlettes, eggs, waffles, or french toast; the bottomless coffee pot; the totally laid back atmosphere;the abundant hot water, and the good air conditioning. Did I forget to mention that Cocomo is directly on the water, where you can jump off the front porch into the water for a swim? Or if you want, there are hammocks in the shade over the water to relax in. I also believe that the maids must have learned how to make the beds from an army d. i. You could bounce a quarter on them!
In short, it was an excellent stay, and we heartily recommend Cocomo on the sea to everyone who goes to Bocas.

This place has only one thing going for it--the price. There was nothing charming about it. It was seedy, dirty and the furnishings were decrepit. The walls were very thin and you could hear the inhabitants of other rooms. The shower was grungy. The linens and towels were threadbare and worn. Spend a little more money and find something nicer. I'm so sorry we didn't.

Cocomos was by far the best place to stay in bocas town. Cocomo is a 4 minute walk from the tiny airport and a 5 minute walk to the very small town. We stayed at the number one rated hotel in town for 2 nights called hotel bocas del toro, hotel bocas del toro does not come close to compare, they do not even furnish a coffee pot or a cup of coffee. Cocomos 4 rm hotel and staff were wonderful with all of the imformation you would ever need. The trips you take by water like drago beach and frog beach pick you up by water right on cocomo by the sea back deck. The included breakfast is the best I have ever had and as much as you want. The back deck is the perfect place for having breakfast in the morning or a beer in the evening. The view is wonderful. Good thing this place is listed under bed and breakfast and not under hotel otherwise you would never be able to get a room. Be sure to book in advance as this place stays full. The owner and staff are the friendliest and nicest people you would ever want to meet while vacationing. As said in the beginning......The best of the best!!

I loved my stay here and agree with other rave reviews. The whole atmosphere is relaxing and cozy. Each of the 4 rooms has one double bed and a single, both comfy, A/C, fans, private bathroom and NO television. Local art and crafts throughout add the feelng of home away from home. The deck, overlooking the water, has plenty of chairs and a few hammocks. Walking out every morning to the breafast spread and then finding out you can order a hot dish was a luxury for me and a great way to meet other guests. The honor system fridge, stocked with water, sodas and beer, really came in handy. Large selection of books to trade and info on the area.

The staff are friendly, keep rooms clean, serve breakfast and offer laundry service. These ladies deserve a tip daily or at the end of stay.

Highly recommended if you want a quiet place, off the beaten path.
