We stayed just one night here and found it to be nice and cheap (although we chose the camping option). The big wooden terrace is a great place to hang out and talk to other travellers, we would buy drinks at the bar and take them up to the top. It is a bit of a hike into the main... More

I stayed for three days at Mar e Iguana in March and it was fantastic. The staff are super friendly and laid back. There is a bar and kitchen right at the hostal so you can hang out there or just as easily walk to the main part of town. I like that it's a little bit away from all... More

The staff at Mar e Iguana are great, except one guy who ruins the whole vibe. He was very aggressive towards me and other guests when I was there, and it did not feel comfortable or safe to be at the hostel when he was in charge. Otherwise the hostal itself is ok, quite clean and easygoing. The kitchen lacks... More

Unfriendly and unhelpful staff (excluding Nora who should have her pay doubled) unclean and generally not well looked after. The priavte room was small, cramped, and moldy and the 'Rasta' working there was a rude and unfriendly [--]. Excuses included 'this isn't America with skyscrapers and malls' when we mentioned the bike locks had the wrong keys (Im Canadian and... More

Mar e Iguana was wonderful! Clean and comfortable rooms, the staff was always friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere couldn't have been more beautiful or welcoming. It was rather rainy during my stay, but with great recommendations and even better company, my trip to Bocas remained a success. The hostel is a little farther away from downtown than some, but...

We stayed at Mar e Iguana for almost two weeks while the initial plan was to stay only a couple of days. The friendly owner Riccardo and staff, the well equipped and clean kitchen and the beautiful and cozy rooms made us feel at home so it was very difficult to leave! There is a really nice patio and garden... More

excellent hostel, food very good and the staff very friendly and ready to help. It is a remote town about 15 minutes walking down making it very quiet. Bocas del Toro has many places to go, I recommend the tour to Cayo shoe.

Wao! The room you see in the picture is actually where my wife and I stayed! Cuba, the barkeep and bike rental guy, was charming, laid back and overall a pleasure to be around.....Riccardo can show you the best of beaches on his now famous tour of the bay...Carolina, well.....a wonderful smile and overall good and pleasant demeanor.....Peppe, the chef,...

The hostel is a beautiful and quiet place to relax. Although it's not in the centre of the town, it is very easy accessible by either taxi or by walking. And just at the corner of the street there is a supermarket where you can get wathever you want. On the same street near the supermarket there is a laundry... More
