Located on a private beach just outside Bocas del Toro, Playa Tortuga Hotel and Beach Resort offers an outdoor pool, a gym and tropical gardens. Each stylish air-conditioned room has sea views.

I was traveling alone, so it was very important to me to feel safe. Which I absolutely did in Playa Tortuga. I was very warmly welcomed from the stuff, especially Ms K. Jiménez was so nice, friendly and very supportive. Immediately I felt like home! The food is tasty. The rooms are big and the bed is very comfortable. My highlight is the balcony with an amazing ocean view. Just fantastic! I would highly recommend it and I am sending my best wishes to K. Jiménez!

We had a wonderful stay. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom pretty clean and you can also take a hot shower. The breakfast was delicious and the attention of the staff flawless.

    Cute rustic town , air Panama airport walking distance to the bus. Roads were not paved, pot holes after the rain , very lively party town on the weekends! Lots of supermarkets to choose from . Hotels seemed expensive for the area. Easy access to other islands via boat taxi.

    A beautiful place! Crystal clear water and amazing views.

    A beautiful place! Crystal clear water and amazing views. Tons of ocean life to see and great surfing in the season. Snorkeling and island tours are great. The only thing I didn't like was having to take a taxi everywhere. They charge $3 a person which adds up quick if your traveling with family. I had a rental car that I left in Almirante and next time I will ferry it across to Bocas so I can get around easily and cheaply. This is just my opinion most people do what we did and just take a water taxi to Bocas, and then take taxis of rent bikes or motorcycles to get around. Walking is tough because of the heat. Loves Bocas don't miss it if you come to Panama.

    Bocas town is a great place for a few days but no more than that. The main street is full of restaurants that are all ok, but also they are all kind of the same except for the sushi place. They survive on boat tours and excursions, so you are constantly asked to take a taxi ride or a trip or come get a drink etc. The people are really friendly and its a fun town.

    This was my first trip to Bocas and I really have no desire...

    This was my first trip to Bocas and I really have no desire to return. The beaches were wonderful but the town of Bocas is a turnoff. It is filthy and the streets are a disaster. Everything is very expensive and often lacking in quality for the price. We did find a few nice places to eat but the hotel room in the town were expensive if they had any real quality. I have visited many third- world countries and seen worse but often better than Bocas. The infrastructure has failed the community. The only thing good is the quality of the Atlantic Ocean and to see out-houses still suspended over the water is really a turn off. Not just one or two but far too many.

    I read many reviews before visiting and I was pretty shocked at the poverty surrounding the town. You cannot get in or out of Bocas Town without seeing some really harsh poverty. Don’t get me wrong. There are some very cute places in Bocas town and I didn’t feel unsafe once I got my bearings but I also didn’t feel comfortable exploring past the first couple of streets. There were some cute stores, but it was almost hard to shop due to the heat. Same with the food, the lack of AC in most places made it almost hard to eat. We had breakfast at a beautiful little café on our last morning called La Ranita that had great coffee, bakery and breakfast. Many places were closed like some of the cute coffee shops and ice cream. But it was the low season (June 2023). Overall, it’s a cute place if you understand that it’s a very mixed area.

    The location of the hotel was excellent, right in the center of Bocas Town and just across the street where se take the boatos to do the tours through the islands. The room I stayed in was basic, with a bed and bathroom, but everything was clean and tidy. The bathroom was small but functioned normally. And the owners, Lucas and Sylwia, were always very helpful in everything. And the coffee they serve in the cafeteria right below the B&B is great, I recommend it!

    I checked into Hotel Bocas Town… a charming 4-story boutique hotel overlooking both the main street and the ocean. It was a warm welcome and exactly what I had been hoping for. From the moment I walked in, I was enamoured with it, and the lady who ran the hotel was nothing short of delightful. I liked it here and I got a good vibe. My bright blue room was everything beach boutique should be. Inviting. Likeable. Cute. I was enchanted. It was good feels.

    The room itself was great, bed was so comfy and bathroom was lovely, felt really luxurious. the staff were great and breakfast was really nice. we were only there for one night so didn’t get time to take advantage of the other facilities such as the kayaking, diving etc. the location is perfect for Bocas town - close to everything but also away from the main strip so more chilled and relaxed!

    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.

    The hosts, Sally and Mike, were great! Very helpful, kind, and the breakfast was fantastic. The location on the water is beautiful, and I got out in their kayak to check the area out. When you are walking up to the B&B you need to remember this is a typical Bocas del Toro local neighborhood. They do have some sweet cats, and that was a plus for us. Highly recommend!
