My two friends and I spent six wonderful days in march at Tesoro Escondido. We didn´t want to stay at a hotel in busy Bocas Town - so the slightly remote location amongst the beautiful nature was perfect for us! Like you can read in other reviews, getting a cab is no problem at all. The 15-minute-ride along the coast... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at Tesoro for 4 nights in April. We found the lodge to be a really relaxing place to spend a few days. The beach is beautiful and only a few minutes walk away (unlike the previous reviewer we loved having the dogs accompany us to the beach). The food was excellent as was the service/advice... More

This place has spectacular views, easy access to the beach, great food and nice and helpful people. You are 2 minutes away from 4 miles of pristine beach, Bluff Beach, quite the contrast from busy Bocas. Be careful at Bluff Beach though as while there, I ran into a couple whose backpack had been stolen. I always felt very safe... More

Let me start of with the Positives. The lodge is beautifully designed.The owner Monique has very elegant taste. The property sits next to Playa Bluff , a 1.7 km long pristine beach.Some of the rooms have partial sea view. I say partial since the trees obstructs the view.When I was there last week, it was managed by volunteers who are... More

We stayed a total of 3 nights and we absolutely loved our stay here. We booked room 5 and 6 and found it perfect for our family (2 adults and 2 boys 11 and 8) and found the rates very reasonable. They are located about 20 minutes ($10 cab ride) out of Bocas town near Bluff Beach. They have a... More

This was an absolute hidden gem in the bocas town area, located a 10-15 taxi on playa de bluff outside of bocas town. Im so glad we chose not to stay in bocas town, because escondido offered more then any of those places could have. Tesoro escondido is run by Monique, who has created the most perfect eco-friendly,budget friendly and... More

If you are smart you have allowed Monique to arrange a taxi for you from town. You pass through the fun bit of madness that is Bocas Town out past where the pavement ends, along blue water beaches to your right, and casual cow pastures to your left. Green takes over, and the road becomes sand. You arrive at the... More

If you like a place that is quaint, charming,and artistic this is the place for you. If you want a slick modern resort stay away. We stayed in both the Turtle and the Dolphin. Both were adorable, but we liked the Dolphin' a little better. We spent our time relaxing in hammocks and walking on the beach. In four kilometers... More

Tesoro Escondido sits up on a cliff among the tree tops and right between two beaches. You can be at eye level with the sloth and the monkeys and sometimes even above them. I love the 2nd floor of the lodge it's a hugh wrap around deck . It's the same floor as the dinning area. lots of chairs and... More

Had the great pleasure to sample 3 of the different lodging options while at Tesoro. Stayed in the upper level of the main lodge for the first night. Very spacious and comfortably breezy with the windows open. Nice veranda to kick back and chill out. Nights 2 thru 5 were in the Turtle Cabina. Nice layout with a deck right... More
