4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2013

Very nice, small (7 rooms), right on the water. Exceptionally friendly, helpful staff. A little noisy from adjacent hotels with alot of young people (20s) partying, but OK. Quaint little town. Water tours are with very colorful local guide. 5 minutes from airport.

Our family of 6 adults spent 3 days in Bocas, booked through Ancon Expeditions. We went in November, and probably because it was still the rainy season, had the hotel to ourselves. We had rain, but it didn't get in the way of our fun at all. We had a great time! Hercilla, Orlando, Livingston, and Aaron were all wonderful.... More

A great, little inn close to everything without being downtown. We were there for 4 days in the off-season. There was only one other couple staying there at any time during our stay. Hercilia (the manager), Orlando and Hermito (the chefs), Livingston, and his two sons (our tour guides) were all awesome. The service was great and the food was... More

Our first trip to Bocas which we booked through Ancon Expeditions in an online offer for 3 days/two nights. The hotel is a delightful building and, since there was only one other couple checked in, we had a fabulous room on the 2nd floor that opened directly to the balcony with a hammock outside our window. The views were idyllic,... More

The Bocas Inn is a beautiful property. It overlooks the water, with a "comidor", balcony, and rooms that are waterfront. The comidor is a wonderful place to eat, read, and relax. Pros: Location. Staff. The staff were all super helpful and friendly. I don't remember the manager's name, but she was really wonderful. She gave my sister and I lots... More

Not 5 star luxury but none the worse for that. 3 night stay. Terrific staff. Great setting on the edge of a tidal river - we got there by boat to their own private landing place. Excellent breakfast - none of that Continental style crap. 2 minutes away from the main drag where there are loads of shops and eating... More

My wife and I stayed at Bocas Inn while in Bocas Del Toro for our honeymoon. The staff was friendly, the hotel was beatiful and we couldn't have felt more comfortable. We had one of the standard rooms, and the side door opened up to a balcony overlooking the water with some comfortable chairs and hammocks. The daughter of the... More

My wife and I were finally on a trip without kids after three years and we loved our stay in Bocas Inn. We stayed at the hotel as part of a 4 day package tour we organized with Ancon Expedition and we loved the overall trip and Bocas Inn. Ancon organized 4 days packed of activities to maximize our experience,... More

I stayed at Bocas Inn for 4 nights! It was absolutely fantastic! The small Lodge (I think only 9 rooms) is located on the main island /township on Isla Colon and therefore in short walking distance to nice restaurants and shops. Due to its location outside the main street within a palm tree garden, it offered a perfectly tranquil atmosphere.... More

This is a great find. We were planning on staying 2 nights in Bocas del Toro, but instead stayed 7 nights and scratched the rest of the holiday plans as we fell in love with the Bocas Inn. The inn's location is unique. Right on the water front with a constant breeze running through it and a lush tropical garden.... More
