No frills, clean and kid friendly hotel by ocean
The hotel sits right on the water in a neighborhood less than a 10 minute walk from the main water taxi stop. I liked it because it wasn’t touristy. I traveled with my 14 and 9 year old, and they loved the two hammocks by the dock. After a little hiccup at check in about a room that would accommodate us, we had a great experience with the staff. They are helpful and friendly as is the owner. The rooms are small but clean, and there is hot water to shower with. Great location, and easy to walk around the town. If you’re looking for a reasonable no frills hotel, this is the place to go.

Ok..could be so much better
This was our third stay there and it was just ok. We had a street facing room. We like the local color so we didn’t mind sounds of the children playing in the street but the dogs and cats barking and screeching were a bit much. The servers were more interested in their cell phones than serving, which was never a problem before. It is a good location for boat pickups and great sunset views.

Olas is very near ferry’s terminal on the more residential side, so it stays quiet after hours. But it is an easy walk to all the activities and hot spots. The breakfast here is great plus you have a lovely view of the water. Rooms are pretty basic, but ours was clean and comfortable. Good shower (one warning-bring your own shampoo). All-in-all, a nice place to stay for your Bocas visit

Convenient location
We only stayed one night, the staff was friendly, the room was small but worked out fine. It's close to all the restaurants and stores. The free breakfast was really nice, and the view from the dinning area is spectacular.

Unfriendly atmosphere/ Not the best location
I recently spent a month working in Bocas and wanted to splurge on my last night. I decided to go with Hotel Olas as the pictures seemed nice and there was a restaurant. I had a horrible experience at this place when in the middle of the night I found bedbugs. The night guard said he couldn't do anything to help me. Then after I sat for four hours waiting for reception the unfriendly staff told me she couldn't give me a refund for my room. I don't know if she was truthful in saying she didn't have money or if she was scheming me but I wouldn't be surprised if it were either. I'd probably just avoid if I were you.
