I stay here a couple of times a month. The front desk staff are always fantastic and accommodating. The breakfast is always delicious. I usually stay in the same room and enjoy the familiarity of it. During my last stay I was upgraded to their luxury suite. It was perfect. The kitchen is equipped with some of the basics, and has a full size fridge. The AC and hot water worked perfectly. The bathroom is spacious and the bed is comfortable. Any issues I've ever had in the past were handled immediately and usually resolved quickly. Definitely bring up anything to the front desk staff during your stay and they will help you right away. There were no issues during this visit. They are also happy to store your luggage prior to the room being available.

We had a lovely few days at Divers' Paradise and would heartily recommend it to anyone staying in Bocas. The room was well appointed and clean. Location excellent (5-10m walk from the water taxi stop, 10m to the main strip, 15m walk to the airport). Great food and service at the restaurant.
Sadly didn't have time to dive, but they seemed very well managed (staff, equipment, etc) and I hope to dive with them in the future.

There is road construction EVERYWHERE.
There is road construction EVERYWHERE. We had no problem with their shared taxi, which means you will have several people squeezed in with you, going more or less in the same direction, but with the construction, many times your cab will not be able to reach your destination. This is Mexico 40 years ago.

Charming tourist town with friendly people and great choice of restaurants. There was a lot of construction and construction noise on the Main Street during our visit which prevented us from exploring the whole town.

If I was 25 and wanted to drink all day, it might be the place for a vacation. Lots of bars and clubs. I food is ok if you can get pass the barkers in the street. If you get out of city central, you can find some lovely beaches, but they are packed with people. We stayed in town for 5 days and two days on an out Island. Be prepared for many of the three- and four-star hotels have no AC. I have traveled all over the world; this would be on the bottom of my list. They haven't taken care of the environment or the waters that bring people to this location.

Be sure to wear the right shoes walking around Bocas Town, as it can get muddy and there's currently construction in town for a new sewer system. While the locals can be a bit assertive and follow you around offering you tour options (and drugs), they'll back off if you say no thanks. Do not drink the tap water and ask for filtered water stations (I also stuck with beer & wine versus mixed drinks with ice). A group from my hostel rented E-bikes which was the right choice to visit Bluff Beach, which made for a great afternoon.

Right now the streets are under construction….
Right now the streets are under construction…. And I mean ALL the streets. It’s tough on the tourism industry for that reason. There may not have been as many people visiting as there normally would be at that time of year. However, don’t let that stop you from going. It’s a fantastic place to visit. So much to se and do. Excellent restaurants.

Bocas del Toro is an overestimated island, public infrastructure is awful, with mud, and potholes everywhere, very difficult to walk and get anywhere. Prices of the hotels and restaurants are slightly exaggerated in my view.
Marjorie's apartments are perfect for a stay in Bocas del Torro. The accommodation is about 4 km outside of Bocas Town, which is why I rented a bike (super easy) to be able to move around more flexibly. but there are also cafes and beaches nearby that you can walk to or take a cab (I just preferred the bike). Every morning started with a homemade coffee in the hammock on the terrace - could be worse ;).
I can recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a quiet place that is out of town on the main island.
The facilities and architecture are 10/10! Felt like we where in Bali, amazing place to disconnect, surf and relax. The hotels location is a bit off the crowd of bocas town, which is great, and right in front an amazing surf peak. the yoga studio and spa were super nice as well. rooms were clean and adequate. food quality was good, but since the hotel is far from the city the menu could have been more extensive. we ended up ordering sushi and pizza for delivery and going out just because the menu got boring
This is a fantastic BnB, well located a 20 minute walk out of town, quiet and peaceful with a lovely deck looking out on the water. There’s a well equipped kitchen, great & well maintained social areas (hammocks, board games etc), comfortable rooms and clean bathrooms with hot water.
What makes the property really special though is Marco and the team. They gave us the friendliest welcome we’ve had travelling south/Central America, cooked us delicious breakfasts and were generally very friendly and helpful.
This is an amazing hotel that stands out as one of the best that we ever stayed at all over the world. The location is amazing right on water and in an area that is quieter than bocas town yet close enough by water taxi. Snorkeling can be done right at the hotel where you can see a lot of beautiful fish and even starfish. The owners are amazing and so helpful in figuring out the best activities. Breakfast is delicious. Rooms are updated and very beautifully decorated.
Excellent stay.... Food was amazing, bar had good prices, included breakfast was great. Atmosphere laid back and chill. Elegant presentation for dining- service was outstanding. Bungalow on water was very nice and a bonus for us. We were upgraded to a bungalow on the water for 2 of the 3 nights and it was fantastic. Nice place to get away from it all. Saw dolphins out in front all three days!
Breakfast was delicious; the fresh fruit, strong coffee and healthy eggs!
I did not like that cabins are on the water taxi highway and were constantly noisy. Additionally, there was a nearby disco in Bocas Town that blared music until 1 or 2 am that kept me awake.
Also, I was expecting to be able to snorkel off the d class as was advertised, but the water always looked too dirty and rough.
We loved everything about the stay and property - especially the location directly on the water was exceptional. You can hear the waves in your bed bringing you sweet dreams. Also the breakfast was amazing and the host is like the best host you can imagine and then even better. She helps you with anything and gives you all the information you need to have an awesome time.
Short walk to beautiful Red Frog beach. Lots of red frogs and other animals.
Various nature activities including walk to Caiman lake and beach cleanup. Daily beach volleyball.
Beautiful 🥰 🥰 Polo Beach only 40 min walk. Great snorkeling spot. Free beach snorkeling!
Good food in the restaurant and good grocery store close by.
Selina water taxi to Bocas Town.
Great central location in Bocas Town. Sea view room was great. Only gave it an 8:10 this time because they are doing construction on the ocean-side which made sitting on the deck from 9 am to 6 pm unpleasant. We understood before checking in. Next month starts high season and now that covid restrictions are less they can finally have workers at the properties.
The location, at first we were skeptical but grew to love it. only $1 water taxi to Bocas town. easy walk to grocery store or dinner at bibi’s. The covered and uncovered deck is great. The breakfast is plentiful. The hosts are very friendly. The rooms big, bright, and clean-get one with the sliding doors.
Ania and Gabi were wonderful - super friendly and welcoming and made us feel at home. Gabi's breakfast was amazing with fresh fruit, bread, and eggs made to order. The dock also has tropical fish swimming around and occasionally starfish and stingrays. It was a private getaway from the busy Bocas town.
It feels like a hotel - pure luxury hostel vacation! Stayed in a 4-bed dorm first which had quite a big bathroom. Every bed has a curtain so you have your privacy despite sharing the room and also an own ventilator, plugs and a little shelf.
This is a hostel done right! Beautiful bar/restaurant on the water. Extremely comfortable rooms with everything you'd need. A host of activities that you're free to join is you like. 100% would recommend and stay here again.
The hotel is located out of bocas town which is good. The hotel is comfortable and the host is very welcoming and provides a lot of information and tips on where to eat, visit and how to get there.
Super friendly staff, hot water, free tea and coffee, nice view of bocas town, clean rooms, great price, classic hotel built in 1905. The breakfast is in a very nice restaurant nearby.
The location is great, right on the water. However, it is a party hostel and next to two other clubs so it’s very loud until 5am most nights. The common areas are nice as well
