The best thing was the place outside. You can chill there with a great view in the hammock! You have your own kitchen and you share the place with a few other people. A great atmosphere and a lovely place.

With mountain views, this accommodation features a balcony. Guests can book themselves in for fitness classes or yoga classes. We visited Panama for the second time, and once again, we absolutely loved it. While looking for a beautiful place to stay, we came across this little hidden gem 💍– and what a find it was! Arrival & Welcome We were picked up by a private boat and warmly welcomed. The boat ride took around 45 minutes and was truly enjoyable. Along the way, we received interesting information about the surrounding islands – and even spotted dolphins! Upon arrival, we were greeted with a delicious welcome cocktail before our first meal. Such a lovely touch!☀️😍 Room The room was spacious and very comfortable. We’ve seen a lot of bathrooms throughout Panama, and many of them lack a proper shower. But here – the shower was fantastic! Great water pressure and lovely hot water – such a treat. :) Breakfast Breakfast was amazing. The host really listened to our preferences, and I was thrilled to have my fried egg every morning – along with fresh fruit and avocado. A perfect start to the day! Lunch Lunch was absolutely delicious – we had shrimp with coconut rice and plantains. A real taste of local cuisine that felt authentic and lovingly prepared. Dinner The highlight of our meals was definitely pizza night on our last evening! It was such a fun, communal experience with homemade pizza in creative and tasty varieties. So cool – and honestly, unforgettable. Surroundings The water around the property was crystal clear – it felt like swimming in a private aquarium. We saw a small shark, a stingray, colorful fish, and more – all right in front of our room. I’m usually a bit hesitant in the water, but here, I felt completely safe and at ease. The trees, the light, the tranquility – I can’t even describe how beautiful it was. Truly one of my personal highlights – such peace and connection with nature. Activities The hosts’ children were incredibly kind and welcoming.

Located in Bocas del Toro in the Isla Colon region, J and H Garden Cabinas features a terrace and garden views. This homestay provides accommodation with a balcony. Free WiFi is available throughout the property and Carenero Beach is a few steps away. Ely is super helpful and nice, the property is in the middle of the island so gives you privacy and is very quiet and good for relaxing. The kitchen has everything you need, I just cooked my breakfast there but pretty sure you can cook your daily 3-5 meals. The terrace space is beautiful for reading, chill and to see the new year fireworks :)

Located in Bocas del Toro, 600 metres from Istmito, Hostal Bocas Tropical Paradise has a terrace, parking on-site and rooms with free WiFi access. Outdoor seating allows guests to sit outside and enjoy the good weather. Helpful host who helped us promptly with all our questions and the boat tour company he suggested was very professional. Well located away from the main part of town but walking distance to it and also the airport and water taxi. The room had a fridge and microwave and we also were able to use a coffee maker to make tea and coffee. The place was very clean. Near to a cheap soda, grocery store, and everything we needed.
