Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Spent four days at this beautiful divers hotel. As a diver you are pampered. Hot showers on the deck, towels on the boat. Your gear is stored in a dehumidified room so it is dry. The dive team are fantastic or dive master Hylan would come sit with us after the dive and discuss marine life we had encounter and even buy you a beer.
The restaurant was amazing and the food was delicious we ate every meal at the hotel. A big Thankyou to Annika who served us everyday with smiles.
Thank you all for making our stay memorable.

Very nice hotel in Bocas town. Good spot to explore the town, but not noisy at night like some areas. Very nice, clean room. Bed was ok, but not super firm. Filtered water provided for your room. You have to insert your key card into a slot inside the room for the lights and air to come on, so if you have to leave and take key, the room will get warm again. This was new to us and we did see this elsewhere in Panama. Front staff very efficient and quick to help if you need anything. Restaurant Pier 19 on site is very good. Recommend.

I recently spent two weeks in Panama as a solo traveler. I traveled extensively and stayed on both the Pacific and Caribbean coasts and inland in Boquete. My favorite hotel hands down was Divers Paradise. I didn't choose the hotel for the diving. In fact I hadn't dove in 10 years, but I did decide to dive while there and definitely enjoyed the convenience and excellent staff of the dive shop located on the property. I actually chose the property because it seemed like it was a little out of the way of the busier part of town and I thought it would be quieter. It was certainly quiet but I was not far away from anything. I was able to walk everywhere. My room was spacious and my bed was so comfortable that it was hard to leave it each morning! The shower was enormous and the towels were big and fluffy (not like those tiny, rough white towels that you get in a lot of hotels). I loved the balcony with a beautiful view of the water. I also liked the fact that filtered water was provided in the room and on the property so I could refill my water bottle and not use plastic. Finally, the staff was friendly and accommodating whenever I had questions. I would not hesitate to stay here again!

Very disappointed by the service. We had booked 6 nights in this hotel. We have the big surprise to find that our room directly overlooked the construction in progress, with workers all day and until 6pm. Unable to use the balcony, no sea view.We asked for a change several times, unsuccessfully telling us that it was the purchased room. At no time were we informed of the work in progress and that this room: 214, became deprived of the sea view in favor of construction, and of the workers working in music.
If we had been informed, we would have chosen another hotel.
It's a shame! We will not return to this hotel.
We still have 3 nights to spend in these conditions that really spoil our moments of rest between excursions and early evening.

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel during carnival season. The upgraded us the first night to a suite with a Seaview. It was roomy, comfortable bed, and closer to the stairs that lead to the restaurant downstairs. Loud music coming from neighboring hotels or homes stopped promptly at 10 pm. The next two days we moved to our regular room which was right at the stairs from the lobby. You did hear noise as people walked up the stairs but it wasn't at all hours. The bed wasn't as comfortable as the other but they were kind enough to give me extra pillows which helped. The TV had to lines running vertically down the screen and they switched the TV out with a brand new one immediately. Staff was great breakfast was delicious. A selection of one of 5 courses with juice, tea, water and fruit.
We used the complementary bicycles the first day but then started raining so didn't enjoy the other amenities.

Perfect stay in Bocas town! The hotel is really nicely appointed, has a modern feel but still connected to the local dive culture. Restaurant was great, they have a small menu but thoughtful and well executed. Very well managed, and clean. The dive shop was great as well, did two days of diving and would highly recommend dive master Kelly. The whole staff was wonderful, great boutique hotel.

This place was top rated on the island so we decided to stay here…we are adding to that top rating and highly recommend it!

The staff was friendly, the place was always clean, the rooms were nice, and everything seemed well maintained. Our stay here was very relaxed and great ocean view for just a couple more bucks. We highly recommend this place, especially if you have a love for scuba diving! All the decor in the main areas were diving related with museum like pieces on the wall. The hotel has paddle boards, kayaks, and bicycles to borrow free of charge. Bikes are great for exploring Bocas.

The hotel has a bar and restaurant downstairs (closed during our visit because of covid), but beautiful area to sit back and enjoy a drink or the breeze. The only negative, since the bar and restaurant were closed, you have to walk to the store to get drinks and bring them back. Would be nice to have a fridge guest could use to store cold drinks because the rooms don’t have a fridge. Keeps you from only buying one drink at a time to bring back. Please open up the bar area soon!!!!

I believe this is probably the nicest hotel in town. It is at the end of town (just a short walk into the main part. As such it is in a quiet area. The rooms are nice and clean. The location is great with a balcony overlooking the water, The restaurant is good with good service, although limited selections. Breakfast was also good. All in all this is a 3/4 star level of comfort, but 5 stars for doing it well. They do diving certifications here. Boats can pick you up from the dock if you do a tour. We did one to Zapatista island and beach from here. The town is a bit of a mess at the moment with the roads all dug up as they provide new drainage etc. Its a slightly wild town at the moment but looks like in another 10 years will have gone up market.

This was my first hotel stay in Bocas Town since covid-19 hit. Divers Paradise is doing a good job with hand sanitizer, temperature readings, masks, etc. My room was even better than last time. I was able to walk in off the street and make my reservation. Excellent hospitality. Convenient location. Room with a view. I couldn't have asked for more.

We had a great time here, the lobby is amazing, very fun just to seat here and drink coffee or tea (that’s for free), the staff were very friendly and helpful.
It’s amazing that if your room isn’t booked after or before your staying, you can do a late checkout or an earlier checkin, it feels so fair to the customer.
The benefits of the staying is awesome- take a bike, kayak or paddleboard anytime… even a one free diving.
I highly recommend staying here! It made our experience from Bocas to amazing.
A little detail- the door doesn’t block the sound- we heard some noise from the hall outside of our room.

What is the best way to get from Gamboa Rainforest Resort to your hotel if I don’t have a car?
Answer from taaw99
Guadalajara, Mexico9 contributions2 helpful votes
Take the bus from Gamboa to Albrook Bus Station. From Albrook, go to the Bocas del Toro counter and purchase the ticket to Bocas. The price is $34. The busses leave at 6, 6:30 and 7 and be there 30 minutes before the bus leaves. Bring a blanket since the busses run the air at full blast. The ride is 11 hours. OR take the bus to Albrook Bus station, take taxi to the Albrook airport and take the 45 minute Air Panama flight, tickets are about $260 round trip. If you are coming for a quick weekend, go with Air Panama. Otherwise, use the bus.
