Situated within 1.7 km of Y Griega Beach in Bocas del Toro, Villa Bahia Del Sol features accommodation with seating area. The property has sea and mountain views, and is 400 metres from Istmito. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a picnic area.

With a private bathroom fitted with a shower and free toiletries, units at the homestay also boast free WiFi, while some rooms have a terrace. At the homestay, each unit has bed linen and towels. We had the big room with outdoor shower and the terrace with water-view. WOW! Beautiful ànd practical. Great bed & great shower. Common areas are really beautiful and cozy. Host is super friendly and helpful. You can even use his sup board. This accommodation is on the non-touristy side of the main island. This is great because it is calm, but you have to walk ca. 15-20 mins to the vibrant center. We recommend renting bikes during your stay: a fun and practical way of transport for a few days.

Mosana Reef Garden B&B is set in Bluff Beach, 5 km from Bocas Town and 26 km from Buena Vista. Guests can enjoy the on-site bar. Free WiFi is available and free private parking is available on site.

Some units feature views of the sea or garden. We loved every minute of our stay at Mosana Reef. Nadia and Salvatore are perfect hosts. We stayed in the two-bedroom apartment upstairs - very spacious, with private terraces front and back, one with great ocean views, especially at sunrise. The kitchen is sufficiently well-equipped if you want to cook - we didn’t, as Salvatore is such a great chef! Playa Bluff is a 10-minute walk and another 10 or so minutes brings you to a number of beach bars and restaurants. Playa Bluff itself is very beautiful and remarkably unspoilt. Mosana is such a relaxing place to stay, it was very hard to leave. Thank you so much, Nadia and Salvatore, for a wonderful visit.

Located in Bocas del Toro in the Isla Colon region, J and H Garden Cabinas features a terrace and garden views. This homestay provides accommodation with a balcony. Free WiFi is available throughout the property and Carenero Beach is a few steps away. Ely is super helpful and nice, the property is in the middle of the island so gives you privacy and is very quiet and good for relaxing. The kitchen has everything you need, I just cooked my breakfast there but pretty sure you can cook your daily 3-5 meals. The terrace space is beautiful for reading, chill and to see the new year fireworks :)

Hostal Cay is set in Bastimentos and features a bar. The guest house has family rooms.

Free WiFi is accessible to all guests, while selected rooms also offer a terrace. At the guest house, units are equipped with bed linen and towels. My husband and I decided to spend a week in Bastimentos. It is a calm place to stay at. The location is perfect, everything's nearby, and it's right in the middle of Old Bank. The deck is a great place to just relax, chill, read a book, listen to some music or watch the sunset. Even though the kitchen is small, it has most necessary things. When in need of a water taxi, please ask for Maya. He's nice, responsible, and very punctual. Finally, the star of our stay, and the cherry on top were the daily breakfast options offered by Kiosco&Pescador. Eunice was the kindest and her food was the most delicious.

Located in Bocas del Toro, 600 metres from Istmito, Hostal Bocas Tropical Paradise has a terrace, parking on-site and rooms with free WiFi access. Outdoor seating allows guests to sit outside and enjoy the good weather. Helpful host who helped us promptly with all our questions and the boat tour company he suggested was very professional. Well located away from the main part of town but walking distance to it and also the airport and water taxi. The room had a fridge and microwave and we also were able to use a coffee maker to make tea and coffee. The place was very clean. Near to a cheap soda, grocery store, and everything we needed.
