Top Bocas del Toro Hotel Reviews

Oasis Bluff Beach

Oasis Bluff Beach

8/10 Good
"Overall, we had a good stay and would give the resort 4 stars. They offer free breakfast and free wifi. Alex was our main point of contact and was extremely helpful, kind, and welcoming. Everyone we encountered was very friendly and always greeted us with a “hola” or “buenos días.” The food tasted good, but the menu was simpler than I expected, with options like burritos and quesadillas. I was hoping for a little more variety or local-style food. Our room was decent and had a queen-size bed along with a pull-out couch. The AC worked well, and we had hot water in the shower, which we appreciated. One thing to be aware of is that there are workers upstairs above the room. We were told about this during our arrival tour, so it wasn’t a surprise. They do stop working at a reasonable hour (around 9:30/10 p.m.), but they start around 7 a.m., so if you’re someone who likes to sleep in (or go to bed early), the noise may wake you. We also saw three roaches in the bathroom at night during our stay. Being on a tropical island, I wasn’t completely surprised, but it’s worth mentioning for travelers who may not be prepared for that. Unfortunately, it rained a lot and we got sick and spent 2 of our 3 days in bed, so we didn’t get to enjoy the activities offered. The beach is conveniently located directly across the street and the water was very nice. Overall, we still had a positive experience and would recommend for couples/adults. Also, bring cash to avoid 3% CC fee."
