May 10, 2023 Russell Mellin

An archipelago off the northwest coast of Panama, Bocas del Toro is an eco-tourism favorite with English-speaking and other tourists traveling to this Central American country. Seven islands (including Isla Colón, Isla Carenero and Isla Bastimentos) comprise the land area, with Bocas Town its regional capital and the “big city” for those looking to shop, dine well, and explore nightlife. Adventure lovers will find plenty to keep them occupied, as scuba diving, snorkeling, sailing, surfing and hiking are first-rate. And if you’re more of a tour-goer, never fear—Bocas del Toro offers a host of them, ranging from sailing to Nivida Bat Cave tours.

Great B&B on Isla Colon

Reviewed By 764janinah

We enjoyed our stay to the fullest. It offers everything you could ask for: clean and super comfortable rooms, super chilled hangout area, amazing breakfast, laundry service, bike rental, discounts for tours and much more. The location is quiet but still close enough to all restaurants and shops in Bocas town! The view over the ocean is beautiful and you can just hang out in the comfortable hammocks. Also both hosts are so helpful and friendly and gave us a lot of great tips recommendations. The attention to detail in Lula‘s is amazing! Highly recommended!

Amazing place

Reviewed By Gsywanderer

We stayed here for 4 nights in March 2022. This place is really magical. You really feel like you are in the middle of the jungle - but a jungle with all the “trimmings” Pros: 1: lovely staff - attentive but not in your face 2: daily interesting cocktails ($8-9). Think beetroot with gin, lemongrass and gin, rum with tumeric and ginger 3: the long hike was brilliant - it was amazing to be in the jungle and see the wonderful beaches 4: food - breakfast was fruit, yogurt, eggs, bread, lunch was a simple veggie dish (lentils, potato cakes, chickpea salad), dinner 3 courses - tuna, white fish, chicken mole and chocolate - there is chocolate with every meal! 5: the view - particularly at sunset 6: daily yoga ($15pp) 7: outside shower 8: the bioluminescence tour - unbelievable!! Book it! Cons: 1: we didn’t know the prices of the drinks - they were reasonable but it would have been nice to know up front 2: everything bites you - take good bug spray and use it all day!

Great Stay

Reviewed By reshdubz

We stayed in one of the over-the-water bungalows for two nights at the end of May. We stayed in bungalow number 5 which we loved because it's the one at the very end and has the most privacy as all the other bungalows were behind us. We really enjoyed our time here and I wished we had been able to stay an extra night. The bungalows are spacious and comfortable. The decks were lovely to watch sunsets or take a dip in the water right from your bungalow. The nature reserve is wonderful to walk through. There are free kayaks to use. The owner was very nice and the staff (especially JJ and Ricki) were so helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was included and is simple but good and much appreciated. Charlie, the dog the lives on the property, is so sweet! We highly recommend this place. We had no major issues with wifi and had no problems charging our items overnight. Two cons/complaints: The menu options are REALLY lacking at this price point. They could offer more food options. It sometimes got stuffy at night and we couldn't really feel the ceiling fan all that well. We wanted to open the windows to let some air/breeze in, but didn't want to let the mosquitoes/bugs in since there wasn't a mosquito net. We wished there had been screens for the bedroom windows or a mosquito net at night that we could use as it got hot and the fan wasn't that strong and didn't provide much relief. We are not sure why, but we got pretty bit up by "chitras" when we arrived at this place. We were recommended to use coconut oil to prevent chitra bites.

Perfect place to stay in Bocas town

Reviewed By SavyyTravelre

For the cost, this is one of the best places I've ever stayed! Everything my wife and I wanted for our night here: big clean pool; waterfront deck with tables and lounge chairs; good wifi; just minutes walk to everything including the airport; small fridge; clean and comfortable room. We had no plans to stay the night in Bocas town but were forced to when our flight left 3-hours early and we hadn't been notified. That stressful dilemma soon turned to bliss once we checked in at Terraza and relaxed at the pool and deck. Though we traveled to other Bocas islands while in the area, we agreed that spending a week at a place like this and just water-taxiing to nearby beaches during the days would be a great way to spend a week!

Amazing relaxing place to stay on Bocas

This is really your place to stay on Bocas. Hosts are very friendly and helpful. Good breakfast. Room is great with views over the very nice garden, pool and sea. Perfect that it's only a 1 dollar ride to the city. So your close to the city, but have a relaxing place to stay! We liked the pool (with fridge with beers) very much. Can only recommend, one of our highlights in Panama!

Room and entire property very clean! I could choose different breakfast from a menu and delicious breakfast was prepared for me. Very family atmosphere, you can always ask the owners for advice and tips for trips. The cats and the dog Rumba also make everything even more cosy. The animals are calm and reserved, I was not disturbed by the animals at all! This place will definitely be on my list again for my next visit to Panama!!

Great hospitality

Reviewed By G-Pennings

To make things clear, we were not actually staying in this hotel. However, as we visited Playa Bluff a for Bocas standards little storm picked up. The sky was opening the floodgates and the wind become so strong that branches were flying around our heads. As we decided to seek shelter, as the collectivo bus was only coming a few hours later, we tried several restaurants / hotels along the road. Nobody let us in, until we reached Playa Bluff Hotel. The Argentian hostess kindly received us. It was nice and fun chatting with her and we were allowed to make us of the facilities; terrace, bathroom, ping pong table. Therefore alone we would recommend the place. Besides, as we were there anyway we peaked around and saw an wonderful spot in nature with great terrace, vibe, pool and good looking hotel on a magnificent beach. Therefore we would definitely consider booking this place for the next time we are around. Thanks again for letting us shelter The Dutch and Bulgarian
