Guest Houses in Bocas del Toro

Nadia and Salvatore are the two kindest and most considerate hosts you could ever imagine, who have created a perfect little paradise tucked away in one of the best spots of the island for some peace and quiet! As soon as I booked, Nadia was already in touch to facilitate my arrival, and continued to give great me tips and recommendations all throughout my trip. In addition to wonderful hosts and a beautiful place that also includes sloths, howler monkeys, and other amazing nature right in the garden plus a little private cove, the food is also divine! Breakfast and dinner each day were really a treat. Thank you Nadia and Salvatore for the most wonderful weekend! I will definitely be coming back again :)

Being fully immersed in the jungle is such an experience! Monkeys came to visit, saw so many animals/birds. Food was so so good! The organic chocolate has no match… just heavenly! Loved the bioluminescence excursion at night. Wonderful people at the facility. Really enjoyed it a lot!

My family and I stayed in six different hotels across Panama over a two week period and the consensus at the end was that Casa Acuario was the favourite. And by quite a distance. First of all, it’s just a cool place to stay. On stilts, over clear warm water, perfect for the kids (and adults) to snorkel, we got to see shawls of small fish along with a few big ones and the odd ray within seconds of our arrival. We were a two minute boat-taxi away from Bocas town and its modest number of good bars and restaurants, but staying at Casa Acuario meant we got the peace and quiet which the mainland didn’t look like it easily provided. The room we were in (upstairs) was easily big enough for two adults and the kids (aged 13 and 10), nicely decorated and with really comfortable beds and a hammock from which you could overlook the sea. As dog lovers, my children were over the moon that there were three (clean, friendly and well behaved) dogs on site. There were a couple of good places to eat and drink on the small island which we could get to on foot from Casa Acuario, and a nice beach about 15mins walk from the hotel. The fridge full of beer on the decking was also a nice touch! But alongside all of these positives, the main thing that gave Casa Acuario the ‘X Factor’ were the owners, Mandy and JP. We were made to feel welcome from minute one, they could not have been more helpful and they made a real impression on the whole family in our three days with them. And just to provide a little context, after Casa Acuario were went to the nearby, and much more expensive, Eclypse de Mar Acqua Lodge for two nights which, before arriving, I thought was going to be the highlight of the Bocas itinerary. Take nothing away from The Eclypse which was seriously nice, but I wish I’d stayed at Casa Acuario for the full duration. Definitely in the top 5 favourite hotels I’ve stayed in across six continents.

Close to airport, clean and cozy

Andrea United States

it was clean, comfortable, and nice location because it was less than a ten minute walk from the party part of town but quiet enough where you could sleep well. They had great hot water and a food AC.

The ocean view, the price, you feel like at home
