"The staff is very helpful and attentive, the hotel is beautiful, sparkling clean and the garden is lush. I need to mention that entry with a vehicle can be be difficult because the gate can be opened only from the reception and if no one is available, there is just no way to open it. And it is a longish walk from the gate to the hotel, which we had to do under pouring rain to get to our taxi outside. Other than that, the stay was amazing and even better than expected for the price. Honestly...

Top Paunch Beach Hotel Reviews

Tropical Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We traveled with 2 other couples and had a lovely experience at Tropical Suites. Everyone from the front desk staff to the restaurant staff was pleasant and helpful. We ate in the on-site restaurant for several meals and the food was always tasty no matter the selection or time. Our room had a kitchen area and was a good size. They left complimentary champagne as a welcome gift. We travel to Bocas at least once a year if not more. This was our first stay here and we will absolutely be back. The hotel is centrally located steps away from the boat docks, shopping and cute cafes."

Bambuda Bocas Town - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"I absolutely loved it here! I stayed 3 nights with my husband and the only regret we had was not upgrading to the king suite. The rooms were clean and beautifully decorated. The restaurant and deck were amazing. The food…let’s have a moment of silence for how incredible the food was. Breakfast was included with our stay and it was really a great deal because everything on the menu was exceptional. The drinks were also phenomenal. Even if you don’t stay here go to the restaurant. There were also daily activities organized by the hotel, like yoga, paddle boarding and a pub crawl. Most nights had live entertainment. I highly recommend this place. I will most certainly stay again."

Surf Break at Paunch

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful eco-hotel. Very relaxing, beautiful view, and a very helpful host."

Oasis Bluff Beach

47ft sailing catamaran in Bocas del Toro

10/10 Excellent

"Captain Jeremy and Kate were absolutely amazing. Not only did they provide anything and everything in the listing but they were constantly offering suggestions and stories about so many more options. The food was spectacular. Every single meal was delivered with love and care. They provided so much food that there was no chance anyone would go hungry, and it was so delicious it was difficult to not get seconds. My daughter loved Kate and we couldn’t have asked for someone more kind and kid friendly. Captain Jeremy basically taught our boys to fish and ensured such a success that all three kids somehow pulled in a stingray. That was such a memorable experience for all of us. We traveled to starfish beach, dolphin bay and even snagged a few moments at red frog beach. All were spectacular and worth a visit. We paddle boarded, snorkels and swam every chance we could. Even though we visited during the rainy season we would come back during any season. We were able to play games, watch movies, and overall just enjoy the views, conversations and beautiful catamaran. Our only regret is not getting to do the karaoke our last night. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, especially one that could handle my wife and I, 3 kids (18-8) and my 71 year old Mother."

Hotel Eclypse de Mar Acqua Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This was our favourite stop on our 3 week trip. This property is a piece of paradise. The bungalow over the water was amazing - clean and spacious! The breakfast was wonderful and the lunch and dinner options were also amazing. We loved the nature trail and we made good use of the paddle boards on offer. However, the best thing about this hotel is the staff. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel like family. All of the staff were so kind, friendly and helpful. They were wonderful with our 16 month old. Special shout out to Rafia (sorry if this is spelt wrong) - he was brilliant with our son! This hotel will always be our favourite holiday destination. Thank you so much everyone, we hope to be vac one day!"

Cabañas Naturaleza

8/10 Good

"The property is beautiful and very well maintained. The bed was not very comfortable. Quite firm and the bed was very, very noisy popping wood sound every time you moved. I don’t know if something needs to be tightened or what but so loud. I also wish there were more than just the two pillows. It has been a long time since I had to sleep with only one pillow. Would have been far more comfortable with an additional pillow and another blanket. The air conditioner worked great! Overall, it was a good stay."
