Faro del Colibri ★★★

"We stayed in the "lighthouse" as a novelty. It had 2 floors. The bedroom was the upper floor with an A/C unit that was sufficient for that area. The lower level had a ceiling fan, couch, coffee table and bathroom. There was a slider out to a deck. The included breakfast was good. There was a little beach but the water stayed churned up from all of the taxi boat traffic. The staircase to the second floor is steep and, in my opinion, dangerous. There was no advanced notice about the staircase. It would be difficult if a person had mobility issues and dangerous for children. The bathroom, while big enough, had issues. The plastic toilet seat was too small and moved all around. The shower had a very "interesting" repair that seemed unsafe. It looked like wires hanging near the shower head with the ends wrapped in black tape. Additionally, there was a repair to the tile with a black substance that ran down the wall when the shower was on causing us to stand in the black water or hug the side to avoid it."

Bocas Beachfront Lodge ★★★★

"Our stay at Bocas Beachfront Lodge exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed by the friendly and attentive staff, who genuinely went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The location is absolutely beautiful. Waking up to the ocean every morning and being just steps from the beach made for a relaxing and unforgettable experience. The property has a peaceful, laid-back atmosphere that perfectly captures the charm of Bocas del Toro. Our room was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. It was the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring the islands. If you're interested in surfing, this is an excellent place to stay. The lodge is conveniently located near some of the area's best surf breaks, making it easy to get out on the water while still enjoying a comfortable and relaxing home base. What truly made this place special, though, was the hospitality. The owners and staff created an atmosphere that felt warm, personal, and welcoming, making us feel more like guests in a home than visitors at a hotel. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Bocas Beachfront Lodge to anyone visiting Bocas del Toro. It was the perfect combination of beautiful scenery, outstanding hospitality and a relaxing island experience."

Casa Acuario Boutique Hotel ★★★

"Casa Acuario is located in Isla Carenero, which is a one minute, $1.00 water taxi ride. Owners Mandy and JP have done a lot with this beautiful and romantic property overlooking the Caribbean ocean. You can literally jump off your deck into the ocean and enjoy some excellent snorkeling underneath and around the over the water hotel! The rooms are large and beautifully appointed with lots of wood, nice beds and bedding, lovely furniture, TV, good Wi-Fi, fresh drinking water and wonderful soaps and shampoos. Each room has its own lovely deck/balcony with a table and chairs and a hammock where you can relax and watch the boats go by. There are also rafts and surfboards and games to enjoy as guests. Casa Acuario has delicious breakfast offerings in the morning and they offer snacks and juices and beers and even a small gift area which is all done through the honor system. A special shout out goes to Gabriel, who was both delightful and accommodating. Their sweet gentle doggies on the property that make the place feel more like home. There are several restaurants within a short walking distance such as Bibi's on the beach, leaf-eaters, a little Mexican taco and quesadilla stand, and more. Only a short distance away is the Panama Dive School Bocas Del Toro where you can go on scuba diving excursions. We have been to Casa Acuario multiple times and would definitely recommend it to others looking for a special and memorable experience."
