Top La Gruta Cave Hotel Reviews

Bocas Paradise Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nos encantó el hotel,el aseo ,el trato y la experiencia fue inolvidable !si en algún momento volvemos de fijo que escogemos el mismo hotel"

Cabañas Naturaleza

8/10 Good

"房间晚上有蚊子，却没有驱蚊的喷药院里树上有一个啄木鸟，老在那边嗑木头，好像有人敲门"

Punta Caracol Acqua Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Nuestra experiencia en Punta Caracol fue muy bonita. Es un lugar encantador, rodeado de naturaleza, con una ubicación privilegiada y paisajes espectaculares. Nos encantó especialmente poder hacer snorkeling y disfrutar del mar. Es un lugar maravilloso para visitar en familia, ya que los niños disfrutan muchísimo de esta experiencia. Además, su ubicación es estratégica para conocer otros lugares de Bocas del Toro. Como aspectos por mejorar, consideramos importante mencionar que las habitaciones no cuentan con refrigerador y que, para conservar algunos alimentos o cargar los teléfonos, es necesario acudir al restaurante, lo cual resulta un poco incómodo. También notamos que algunas instalaciones muestran señales de deterioro y necesitan mantenimiento para conservar la belleza del lugar. A pesar de estos detalles, nos llevamos una experiencia muy bonita en familia. Es un destino con muchísimo encanto y potencial. Con algunas mejoras en sus instalaciones y comodidades, la experiencia sería aún más especial. ¡Sin duda, un lugar que disfrutamos mucho y que recordaremos con cariño!"

Private Luxury Over the Water Bungalow

10/10 Excellent

" Magical Over-the-Water Stay!We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful home over the water. The views out of every single window constantly left us in awe. From spotting stingrays to dolphins to watching the friendly geckos around the property, the surroundings made our mornings truly magical from the moment we woke up.The home was extremely clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. On top of that, the host Alex was superb, and the communication from Amir and his TEAM was absolutely amazing—they were incredibly helpful, responsive, and attentive throughout our entire stay. It was an unforgettable 5-star experience, and we cannot recommend this stunning property and team enough! "

La Coralina Island House

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful property with many amenities and excellent breakfast options. Their restaurant was probably the best overall too. The morning yoga classes were an added bonus. La Coralina is about 15 minutes away from the town, so if you’re looking to walk around and be close to everything then this is not the right resort for you. They do have taxi service to and from the resort for $5 each person, which adds up pretty quickly. If you’re looking to get away from the noise and enjoy nature and sense of calm, then this is the right choice. I definitely do not recommend bringing children here, as they will be bored. Things I wished I knew ahead of time: 1. They will arrange for air port pickup 2. You can order anything on the breakfast menu. It’s all included and free. 3. The receptionist will arrange taxi rides to and from the resort. Just ask them ahead of time. 4. Get their WhatsApp number to communicate your travel to and from town. 5. Yoga included and no need to reserve. 6. Be sure you get the spa schedule ahead of time so you know about the activities. 7. You’re in the middle of the jungle so enjoy the trails. 8. When leaving the resort, walk to the right of the building to find a few nice spots with sandy beaches. There’s nothing going to the left side except dirt roads. You will need a taxi."

Surf Break at Paunch

The Hummingbird

10/10 Excellent

"Stunning jungle retreat. So peaceful, wonderful food and accommodations with hummingbirds and wildlife! A place to relax."
