Had been staying somewhere else then moved in here for a couple of nights-great little hotel-very clean and safe-there was only 1 other couple staying nice terrace overlooking the sea and the back deck and bar is great and a bit secluded. 5 minute walk from the main town and only 2 minutes to some great little restaurants. Supermarket just... More

We had a good experience here. We stayed in a room with 3 beds which worked well for our group. Breakfast was good and served very fast. Coffee is great! The bar serves amazing mojitos. Staff was friendly and found a place to store our luggage after checkout. It's nothing fancy but its clean and you can walk easily from... More

I liked that the hotel was very cozy, they had excellent tips on where to dine and have fun. They also adviced on how much should people charge us in water taxis, buses and ground taxis. They have some awesome music in the bar. Breakfast included was very nice. It included excellent coffee.

If you are visiting Bocas you are probably wanting to spend your days at the beach and your nights at the clubs. The hotel is just a place to rest before you do it all over again. Hotel Vista Mar is a fine place to stay. The restaurant/bar is right on the water so you have amazing views for meals... More

Staff was just "okay" attending to normal functions. The included breakfast isn't included on the one day a week the staff is off, but otherwise everything went well by Panamanian standards. The room was fairly clean, and comfortable, if a bight small (there's no place to sit in a chair. It's a 10-minute walk to town, but the trade-off is... More

We arrived at the Vista Mar Hotel via a boat landing at its own jetty, which lead onto an outdoor eating area (all meals were served here). It was idyllic to be sat on a jetty eating breakfast :) The rooms were clean and simple, I sampled 2 rooms as the first one got flooded during our stay because of... More

We stayed for a few days, it's close to town, friendly staff at the bar, great breakfast on a nice deck on the water. Less than helpful front-desk staff and owners (we could not get a second blanket although we were the only guests there for the last 2 nights) and very small bathrooms with limited warm water. Prices seem... More

When we planned a recent trip to Panama, we couldn't miss the opportunity to fly to Bocus del Torro for some island adventure and relaxation. This was undoubtably the highlight of our trip. With so many islands and beaches just a quick bus or water taxi ride away, there was never a lack of places to explore. From the virtually... More
