The hotel is very beautiful !!! all the staff is very friendly and helpful. The jungle tour with Filo was very good, we saw and experienced a lot. The food is excellent, only once I had something that wasn't good and the staff took the criticism seriously and reacted immediately. I felt very comfortable the whole time! The familydinner is amazing!

Bastimentos Hill Guest House, hotel in Boca del Drago

Set in Bocas del Toro, Bastimentos Hill Guest House has a shared lounge, terrace, private beach area, and free WiFi.

We had a great time staying in Bastimentos — the town is very nice, with lots of great local restaurants serving delicious fresh food. The hosts (father and son) at this guest house make the place though, they are incredibly friendly and always happy to help, be it lending us snorkeling gear or a surfboard, or organising a very good value boat trip to Coral Cay with a friend of his (who also showed us a sloth in the mangroves!). It is an easy and safe 20-minute walk on a well-marked path (with monkeys!) to the beautiful and empty Wizard beach. From there you can keep walking to Red Frog (but this walk is through the jungle). Boats leave regularly from the town to Bocas Town. The room itself was basic but had everything we needed and was phenomenal value — we were very grateful for the A/C!

    Brand New hostel, all is very clean and the beds are so comfortable... It is out of the busy town, but you have a lovely Pool where you can hang out and there is a huge kitchen also where you can cook. But dont forget to do the grocery before in town... However the best are the lovely hosts Andrea with her husband and brother Aldo, they really make you feel welcome and at home :)

    the owners were so nice and accommodating! they will take care of you and offer rides into town free, but it’s kind to offer payment. the beds are very comfy, and each one has a fan, outlets, and a lamp attached to the wall. there are even curtains for privacy on the bunk beds! additionally, the slide is very fast and very fun and the pool is incredible.

    ,Staff were super friendly, they felt like family. Water slide were amazing. The staff offered us transportation to & from town. Anything you need from town, the staff is super helpful helping you find it. 10 out of 10, i will be returning for my last night in Bocas Del Toro. I will be going scubadiving with Aldo, one of the managers at the hostel. Alcohol prices are very reasonable, cheaper than in town.
