We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. We had a room for 3, with an ocean view (well worth the extra $). The room was large enough for us, the beds very comfortable and it was very clean. Bocas Del Toro Hotel also has the best happy hour on the island. The staff were very helpful. We got 4 days of laundry (for 3) done in one day for $5.00!!! How can you go wrong. Snorkeling trips booked through the hotel are not recommended-try Tranparente or Joe Baker.

This hotel was awesome and the price was right. You can stay in Bocas town for as little at 8 dollars a night up to a couple of hundred of dollars. We paid $96 for a queen size bed and a spotless room. We started out staying 1 night because we weren't sure of our plans and ended up staying 5! Each morning when we woke up we would ask if they had a room for the night. Since we didn't have reservations and couldn't decided how long we were going to stay, we had to change rooms a few times but the staff moved our belongings and we got to see a couple diff. rooms. My favorite room being #10. The rooms were nicely decorated, always had clean linens, a safe in each room and a 27'' flat screen TV's on the wall to boot! The staff was friendly and accomodating and the owner Carla was almost always present. She runs a tight ship. The hotel had been recently remodeled and the wood work was was beautiful. The location only a block off the busy main st which was nice. We stayed in a few other less expensive places in Bocas which were nice too but this was by far my favorite. Would go back in a heart beat! The only thing I would recommend is including breakfast but at the time of my stay the kitchen was being leased out. I think this was going to change sometime soon though. All in all, my experience was great.

Just got back from a week in beautiful Bocas Del Toro, and stayed at Hotel Bocas Del Toro. The hotel is on the water, and right in the heart of Bocastown. We had a regular room without a balcony - small, but not as small as I expected. It comfortably fit two people with embarrassingly large suitcases. The bathroom was clean and not cramped. The hotel is built with beautiful natural wood interior, and has a small restaurant and bar.

The staff is very friendly and helpful, the owner was around some too - affable woman from Hawaii. They treat you like guests in their home. The restaurant was good, but probably not the best in the area - the coffee and food at Lily's three doors down was better. But, in the end, it was incredibly convenient, perfectly accomodating, reasonably priced and very comfortable.

Highly recommended.

Beware of this Hotel!!!!When we arrived at this place,we when on a water taxi trip.Apon completing ride arround the harbor,I needed help in getting back to dry land.This resulted in my pocket being picked,by crew to the tune of 1300.00 dollarsThe thief handed me back my passport,saying I had dropped it while on boat!In my right hand pocket was money,and brand new watch just purchased in Panama City less than 24 hour earlier,As he help me to stand up on dock he had stolen these itemsI notified the tour company of loss they had me report this at a place not connected with police station.I was told this report would be brought to me for signature latter.I was told i refused to sign it....Carla the owner of this Hotel told me that a letter of demando would take many hours to complete,discourging me to persue this action...The next day my girl friend noticed her Dolche Cabana cell phone/charger,expensive translator,document holder,and cash were missing...Over $2700.00 were pilfered by room staff robbers..Carla claimed she had talked with us,which never occored,we talk with a lady at reception who said the police would come,and search our room at 8am.they never showed...There seems to be a certin scheme of things here.There is a plan to shift the blame back to those who were robbed.If you are fool hardy,and go there don't bring anything of value,as it will be taken in a heart beat/beware!!!!
