Set in Boca del Drago, this beachfort property offers accommodation in Bocas Town. The property is a 20 minutes walk from Playa Estrella.

The unit fitted with a kitchen, four rooms with provate bathroom, living room and private access to the beach. Towels and bed linen are available at Drago Beach Lodge. Other facilities at Drago Beach Lodge include a terrace and hammocks. The location was simply amazing, in front of a beautiful beach with quite calm waters. The garden is well kept, I can't understand other comments saying that it is not well maintained. The rooms are big enough, water in the bathroom was always warm and the air conditioning worked perfectly. The kitchen is well equipped and there is plenty of space for all guests with lovely spots where one can relax. You can have you laundry cleaned for 5 dollars. The care taker Ariel is helpful and friendly. We loved this place, if you're not into luxury hotels just go for it

Bambuda Lodge is located in the tropical rain forest in Bocas del Toro. The property features a coral reef off its dock and a swimming pool with an on-site bar and a fun and social atmosphere. WiFi access is available for guests.

The property offers individual beds in dormitories or private rooms. You can enjoy views of the ocean, an outdoor seating area, a safety deposit box and bed linen. Staying at Bambuda Lodge was definitely one of the best parts of our trip. The location is great, you have a really nice view from the terrace and we loved our canopy room. Even if Bambuda Lodge is a little bit more remote, you can easily get a water taxi or book one of the tours to explore other places. The staff was always very friendly and helpful. The food was good, especially the dinner was very delicious!
