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. Bambuda Lodge is the PERFECT place to stay if you're looking to relax, have fun and connect with other people. Stop looking for other places because you won't find anything better, just book it. The views here are absolutely fantastic, the staff is so welcoming and friendly and they're going to make your life heaven. Victor, Sebastian, Marco and all the people working here will make you want to extend your stay and come back! The food options are always varied, reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. The drinks are also great and they have Happy Hour with different stuff daily, along with daily activities every day. If you like always exploring, you will have to pay for the boat to other islands every time($5 to the main island one-way) so it can easily build up on the cost, but it's the same in all area. This place is remote so take that into consideration when setting up your expectations for that. If you like touristic areas full of resorts, restaurants and stuff nearby, this is NOT for you. If you want to chill, stay in a remote place and feel its magic, then this is IT!

We chilled during breakfast on small front patio hanging out on hammock and watching interesting live of Bocas. Kitchen is well equipped and overall very interesting furnitures and styl of house gave us amazing impression. Highly recommended for everyone. We stayed in room nr 1 and we very happy with our stay.

Twin Fin Plaza

Bocas Town

Boasting a shared lounge, a terrace and a bar, Twin Fin Plaza is situated in Bocas del Toro and is 1.6 km from Istmito. The accommodation features a shared kitchen, a 24-hour front desk and currency exchange for guests.

The nearest airport is Bocas del Toro Isla Colon International Airport, 1 km from the hostel. I cannot find words to describe how marvellous this hostel is. It seems that even a high-class hotel is inferior to twin Fin Plaza. The rooms are cosy and very spacious, with a proper number of beds. By no means there are too many bunks, reducing the space drastically and making coexistence more difficult. No, no... The windows are wisely located, and are big and functional. You could think that the absence of curtains (or anything similar) will bother you, but in that case you won´t wake up extraordinarily early and full of energy. Lockers are everywhere. In fact, their number is so ridiculously large that doors don´t have a key (forget about asking for one). Otherwise, strangers couldn´t help you to organize your luggage. Think about it for a moment: a paper wrist lace (that a non- existent guard will ask you for) is a clever and safer idea. Another great point is that you know a lot of gossip, since the walls are so tight thar you can hear load arguments and music all day and all night. One day I heard two drunk guys shouting in the distance. I am glad that my sleep was interrupted to listen to them. Although the check in is at 12:00, we could not enter until 13:00. It was nice. For sure is the cause of the brightness of the floor. Thanks to that delay, we started thinking about our daily problems. My friend was even able to reconcile with his brother, with whom he had not spoken for 2 years. But the best of all is the bathroom. There is a toilet in every corner, and they are incredibly clean, also the floor and the roof. You will feel comfortable inside. In relation to the shower, the warm water works perfectly, increasing or decreasing its temperature in less than 1 second. Under no circumstances would you find used and prehistoric brushes or soaps, which have not been retired by workers. I will recommend this place to everybody who wants to live great experiences. Don´t doubt, please. (Greetings to our roomates from Britain, Denmark and Switzerland).
