Featuring a shared lounge, restaurant, bar and free WiFi, Bambuda Bocas Town is located in Bocas del Toro, less than 1 km from Istmito and 2.4 km from Y Griega Beach. Certain rooms at the property include a balcony with a city view. It feels like a hotel - pure luxury hostel vacation! Stayed in a 4-bed dorm first which had quite a big bathroom. Every bed has a curtain so you have your privacy despite sharing the room and also an own ventilator, plugs and a little shelf.

Bambuda Lodge is located in the tropical rain forest in Bocas del Toro. The property features a coral reef off its dock and a swimming pool with an on-site bar and a fun and social atmosphere. WiFi access is available for guests.

The property offers individual beds in dormitories or private rooms. You can enjoy views of the ocean, an outdoor seating area, a safety deposit box and bed linen. It’s a very chill place. The jungle hike was super cool, Marco was a fantastic guide! The food portions are huge, and the food is not that pricy, as someone mentions in the reviews. There is a taxi boat every hour to the city for 5$ pp. We had a reservation for a private room with a shared bathroom, but we got a private bathroom too, and we were amazed.

Aqua Lounge features a shared lounge, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Bocas del Toro. The accommodation provides nightclub and a shared kitchen.

Carenero Beach is 90 metres from the hostel. Bocas del Toro Isla Colon International Airport is 1 km away. This was an amazing place where to stay during our trip to Bocas del Toro. The dooble room was very comfortable and clean with air conditioning. The restaurant had really tasty food for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. It also served great cocktails and drinks. Even though it is a party hostel, our double room was quite separate from the common area so the noise was not a problem for us. We took earplugs with us and we were able to have a proper rest during our 3 nights there. This place was especially convenient on Friday, as we attended the Filthy Friday party and we could hop to our room whenever we wanted. Would definitely recommend as the value for money was definitely worth it.
