Top Isla Colon Hotel Reviews

Surfari Bocas

10/10 Excellent

"We used Boca as a base to explore. The place is small but comfortable beds, full kitchen in our unit and a full shared kitchen across the hall. Air conditioning is quiet and powerful. Power outlets by every bed. Erica the manager is very friendly and helpful. The daily rate is unbeatable. A good supermarket around the corner. We stayed 4 nights. Consider take the bus and do the bat cave."

Oasis Bluff Beach

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great place for winding down for a couple of nights at the end of our 10-day Panama trip. We were impressed with the attentive staff who worked so hard to make things easy and comfortable. And the food at the restaurant was delicious! We thoroughly enjoyed the the open air dining room as well as the full beachfront service for lunch and drinks. The water in the area is much too rough for swimming, but we took long walks on the immaculate and isolated Bluff Beach, and when we felt like a dip, we swam in the pool. Our room with a king bed and jungle view was simple, very clean, and carefully appointed with a comfortable bed and luxury linens. They even supplied yoga mats in our room. There are board games, a ping pong table, and a billiards table for entertainment. We also appreciated the eco-friendly efforts, such as the use of solar panels and a refillable water bottle service. We would have signed up for their jungle hike tour but the guide was not available on the particular days that we were staying. We instead relaxed on the beach, being mesmerized by the crashing waves. Thank you to the staff and management who helped make our Panama vacation so memorable!"

Hotel Palma Royale

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was amazing and truly a gem in the area. It’s a little further from the main area but I enjoyed that aspect and there’s a dock right across to catch a water taxi. Very convenient. The front desk staff was so attentive and nice. Suli was especially kind to us! I would definitely stay here again! "

Koko Acqua Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful time staying in one of Koko aqua lodge’s over the water bungalow for a few days while visiting Bocas Del Toro,Panama….And what made it even better were the super friendly people who run the place in particular Heylis who is a great host and a real good singer in a local band…Thank you all ☺️"
