Dan & Brian's place overlooks the sea and is just a few steps from a lovely little beach with white sand and coral reefs on either side. They provide snorkelling equipment, paddle boards and kayaks free of charge. The house itself is impressive and the rooms very nicely furnished. Beds super comfy. The pool is a good size and nice and warm, and surrounded by trees full of birds and the occasional sloth or monkey.
The food was fantastic and they make great cocktails. They also organised us a private tour to the Zapatillas islands which was idyllic, and they had lots of other great recommendations, including the easy hike to Wizard beach which is stunning and was practically empty.

We loved the location in the bay and our view and access from terrace directly to the ocean. Water was calm, clean, warm and we swam and snorkeled every day. The staff was very friendly, bungalow spacious and clean with both inside and outside shower and two floor windows to watch the colorful fishes swim below our bungalow. Reasonable restaurant prices (15-20 USD for main course, 2-8 USD for drink), food very tasty (especially the grilled tuna :)). Water taxi costs 5 USD to the Bocas town. We made a great choice to book this hotel.

It was very simple, though this is expected given the location of being at the water front along the Caribbean and of a very simple town. I arrived about noon and they quickly cleaned the restroom, which added.

Los Bastimentos is so much nicer than Bocas, I would greatly recommend staying here instead of on Isla Colon. A real Carribean feel, friendly inhabitants, not overly touristy. Excellent snorkelling just a watertaxi-ride away at Hospital Point.

I like all the island nearby that all had uniqueness and individual charm. We visited 7 various spots and stayed in 4 islands accommodations. All seemed to be noisy at night with either jungle animal sounds, local bars blasting music or boat traffic. Day time hammock naps are a must!

We liked the snorkeling adventure, but with high surf some of the better snorkeling spots were off limits. If snorkeling is high on your list, be sure to allow for the proper time of year with more calm seas. We saw several sloths on sloth island during a tour and on Bastimentos. We enjoyed the natural beauty of red frog beach and playa bluff. When going to playa bluff, take the local shuttle or taxi as the roads are challenging.

Basti was fantastic.
Basti was fantastic. The people are so friendly and the island has such a laid back atmosphere. There are no cars on the island, which I thought was awesome. You get a real feel for the culture here, while also getting a nice beach getaway. We stayed in Old Bank, so we enjoyed watching the boats and locals. Definitely bring more cash than you expect though, most hostels on the island don't accept credit cards, and to get anywhere by boat costs money, as well as entry to the beaches. We blew through our remaining cash quite quickly, and there are no ATM's on Basti.KristenCanada - 10Scored 10

Bastimientos is easy to access from Bocas Town by boat taxi, but it is a different world... much quieter and more basic and natural, with good access to lovely beaches. Bastimientos is the option in Bocas if you want something quieter and more simple.

I stayed, relaxed, ate and drank at Palmar Beach Lodge and I have to say, one of my favourite places so far. The atmosphere was very relaxing, great staff and a big shout out to Jimmy, the best waiter/barman/entertainer! I stayed in an 8 person dorm, had a great bad, no troubles sleeping and the beautiful beach is just waiting for you to get out of bed. I stayed for 7 nights, which was a little too long in my opinion, as there are many islands around that I could have also explored, however, the regular trips organised by the Palmar Crew (also a super friendly and nice bunch of people) made up for my lack of pre-planning. Greetings to the entire team and hopefully see you again in the future at some point.

- 9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 2 reviewsThis is an amazing, unique experience that I can't recommend enough. Sleeping on the boat was so calm and relaxing. This is a very peaceful spot to unwind for a night or two. The location of the sailboat is absolutely breathtaking! Couldn't ask for better scenery. The couple who live on the boat are very nice and helpful, great to talk to, but also respectful of your boundaries as guests on their boat. If you're bored of hostels or hotels while backpacking through Central America you should try this sailboat. Loved it!MikailaCanada
- 8.8Scored 8.8FabulousRated fabulous· 533 reviewsThe Eclypse is a very nice hotel. It looks fantastic, our hut-on-stilts was big and was absolutely fine for our family (children aged 13 and 10). The fact that the property backed onto its own nature reserve gave it an edge over hotels; we saw caiman, a sloth, some cool little red frogs and an impressively sized moth one evening. For those not so keen on the jungle, there were cocktails and really good food in the restaurant. Not the speediest of service but that wasn't a problem for me; we were on Caribbean time!
JonUnited Kingdom - From £324.44 per night9.0Scored 9.0SuperbRated superb· 70 reviewsThe food was incredible. Chef Victoria did an incredible job taking the food from the jungle and turning it into a fabulous meal. We also loved that they delivered chocolate tea first thing in the morning to enjoy in our hotel room. The property was gorgeous and incredibly well built. Additionally, the wild life was incredible. We saw at least a dozen capucin monkeys from our hotel room. We were overcharged but Jose gave us a refund. Thanks to the staff for an incredible honeymoon.
VictoriaCanada - 9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 350 reviewsAtaraxia was the best place we stayed in Panama. It was so nice, quiet and relaxing. The bungalows are more uphill and in the jungle, with fantastic views. We also had some nice dinners in the restaurant. The transport with watertaxis is easy and you can also walk to Old Banks when the waterlevel is not too high. We borrowed kayaks and went kayaking to Isla Solarte and along the mangroves. Beautiful. The owners Pierre and Manon are so friendly and helpful.
RonaldNetherlands - From £20.44 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very goodRated very good· 406 reviewsI loved the location, near Wizard Beach, which you can reach via an amazing walk in the forest. The town of Bastimentos is also super pretty and gives you a taste of Caribbean Island culture. I loved the wooden deck on the water with hammocks. I loved being able to cook my own food in the kitchen. I loved my single room, it was clean and pretty. Alos, Mr. Archibold and his staff were extremely helpful every day setting up transport and tours.DanielaPanama
- From £45.10 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very goodRated very good· 829 reviewsMy boyfriend and I stayed at Selina Red Frog for 2 nights and we definitely loved it! The place is beautiful and very close to Red Frog beach but what we loved the most was sleeping in the middle of the jungle, taking a shower with views and our lovely neighbours the sloths. The staff is so kind and nice. And the activities they programme so cool. We are so much looking forward to come back!PalomaSpain

A relaxed and calm hotel offering you rest and leisure is situated across the water from the nightlife and is convenient accessible by water taxis. As you watch the dolphins and sunset from the dock chairs.. The chef Carmen will serve you delicious meals and beverages. A must stay for short trips or a much needed Vacation of rest!EdwardUnited States
- 9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 173 reviewsBeautiful hotel with jungle-feeling directly at the sea. The hosts Carmen and Marcel are awesome. Carmen cooks every night a delicious meal (wow, best food ever!) which you eat with the other guests. So it's really familiar and nice to socialize with the others. Felt like home. :) Highly recommanded. We would go anytime again.
ClaudioSwitzerland - 9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 350 reviewsRun by a friendly idealistic couple. The restaurant was quite good. They provided kayaks and snorkeling gear which was nice. The location is good for Bastimentos but Bocas in general is complicated to get around. Lots of water taxis and the costs can add up. The guide they recommend for the trip to Zapatilla was excellent.CurtisUnited States
