Beach Hotels in Bocas del Toro

Althought S Boutique Hotel wasn't in our plans, we we're beyond glad to experience it. We had a disappointing AirBnB nearby for two nights, which we ended up cancelling, leaving a day early. In this light, we booked S Boutique Hotel and messaged them, letting them know our situation and see if we could at least leave our bags and wait around before check-in. We made it to S around 9am. The first thing that called our attention was the thoughtfulness in design, respecting the natural elements, showcasing beautifully arranged wood, which dominates the landscape, supported by elegantly exposed concrete, all encompassed by the lush greenery around Isla Colon, with tasteful touches of glass, white contrasting pool chair sets, black painted bamboo dividers, etc. But the most striking aspect of S was the warm smile and professional behaviour of Jean. He immediately made us feel welcome, offering us coffee (which, again, comes in beautiful and thoughtful tableware) and check-in us smoothly. His conduct is one of competence, politeness, mixed with gentleness and friendliness, but most noticeably, humbleness and unpretentious, a rare combination we did not encounter much in Panama. Since we didn't had data, we couldn't see that Jean already had replied regarding our bags, reiterating us that the room was ready and just after our coffee, he guided us to it. The room follows the same natural theme. Concrete, white, wood, glass, elegant details in wicker. A citrussy essential oil hit us softly upong entering our room, enhancing our stay even further. Late at night, for some reason, water wasn't coming from the shower. I went down to ask Jean, which, along one of the owners, immediately went and fixed the issue in a matter of minutes. Again, the effectiveness in problem solving along with professionality in the way everyone at S carry themselves speaks highly of not just the Hotel, but the ideas, values and passions that had led this hotel to be made.

Location, confort, original and top class decoration, very nice swimming pool, helpful personnel, view, beach with easy access,

Great accommodation in a very good area. Carlos is very friendly and helpful. We had a good breakfast as well.

Loved this place!!! They’ve really made an effort to give you the feeling of being in the middle of the jungle, because we we’re! We saw a ton of wildlife, the pool was gorgeous, breakfast was amazing and the cabins we’re a dream. 10/10 recommend!

what a wonderful place to stay! amazing host and great breakfast!

- a lot of free activities included (try dive, borrowing kayaks & sup, snorkeling gear, bikes) - friendly staff - clean - the sea view is great - free tea, water & coffee all day

The property was located on the quiet and chilled Isla Cristobal. The grounds of the property itself were beautiful with a pool overlooking the water, a huge garden with plenty of seats and hammocks and a restaurant/bar for meals and games. The hosts are very friendly and you are very well looked after from the start with very good communication assisting with arrival to the accommodation and carrying cases, wonderful drinks and smoothies (the best I had in all of Panama!) at a very competitive price and a wonderful 3 course dinner which was delicious. The included breakfast was also delicious, the pancakes were perfectly cooked. They also offer excursions that feel very different to the normal tour excursions for e.g. they take you themselves in their boats to see the dolphins in dolphin bay at a time where no other tour groups are operating. They also offer Kayaks to use free of charge and there is a coral reef you can access from the property for snorkeling. There are only ever two rooms on the property so it is very chilled and relaxing - an amazing opportunity to unwind, disconnect and enjoy the surroundings. And a special mention to the care and attention provided by the hosts who built the property themselves. We would definitely stay again.

I cannot recommend Oasis Bluff Beach enough, it’s AMAZING. The place itself and the rooms are super beautiful, the beach is amazing, the food is more than delicious but most of all, the people who work there are the BEST. Thanks so much for everything! Ps. Don’t forget to order the lemon pie

The location is amazing, you can really be so close to nature. Pure relax and rest. Staff super nice and friendly, delicious food. We love this place and hope to come back there one day.

Everything especially the staff at reception who were fantastic
