Where to stay in Bocas del Toro on a budget

With a relaxed atmosphere and a friendly, diverse population, Bocas del Toro provides a great opportunity to unwind away from the daily grind.

Home to Panama’s first National Marine Park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this tropical paradise gives visitors a huge variety of places to explore. Comprised of nine main islands, 52 cays, and thousands of small islets, Bocas del Toro is recognized as one of the planet’s most biologically diverse areas – making this a top destination for eco-tourists.

Accommodation in Bocas del Toro is plentiful, and visitors can choose from a variety of hotels or hostels to suit their needs. With jungle eco-lodges, exclusive resorts, busy hostels, and even private island rentals, this beautiful community offers lodging for every holiday. Most hostels and hotels are located on Isla Colon, Isla Bastimentos, and Caranero Island, but off-grid accommodation can be found on some of the archipelago’s more remote areas, as well.

Leaving your hostel or hotel, there is no shortage of activities to enjoy in this island oasis.
