Bocas del Toro Top Hotels

Bocas del Toro is a tourist town, and hotels are priced accordingly. At $10 per person, dorm beds are relatively expensive, but the hostels in Bocas del Toro are superbly equipped. Nearly all have WiFi and a hammock-laden common room, as well as other goodies like foosball tables. There are a few higher end spots in town, but most of the nicer resort-type places are located out on the more remote islands.

Hospedaje Heike

One of the best value options in town. The owner of this place is friendly and accommodating, but this place is so successful the rooms are available only on a first-come, first-served basis.

Hostal Bocas del Toro

This place is one of the new spots but it is very pricey for what it is. Rooms are trendy and modern and the entrance hall is more smart-hotel than homely homestay. There is an attached bar and restaurant, which is a bit pricey, and budget travelers will only find themselves staying here...
