Hotel Olas, right on the water, is a really nice and clean hotel with great staff and pretty decent water-side bar downstairs. Our room was fantastik, with an incredibly comfortable and soft queen bed, fridge, satellite tv, a/c, waterfront balcony, and HOT water. Definitely our little moment of luxury while travelling around Panama. Unfortunately, without a common kitchen, we decided... More

This place was awesome! So cheap for what you get - I stayed for 3 nights with my boyfriend this past February. Our room was literally raised above the ocean - there was a little balcony with an amazing view. Personal washroom. The only thing I would have liked is a better blanket on the bed. The hotel had amazing... More

We visited Bocas for 12 days in February. We stayed here for the last three nights of our trip. It was the worst idea ever. Upon check in our, " ocean view" room was occupied by people Olas had taken on a day trip. They forgot we were coming! Our room was not ready til 7pm that night, an entire... More

We stayed here for 3 nights and had a very pleasant stay. The rooms are simple but you have a private bathroom, A/C (if you need it), Cable TV and nice views of the ocean. The location is also very convenient to the water taxis and the main street. There are also lots of common areas on the first and... More

My wife and I were bit over a dozen times on our visit in March 2012. Owner was nonchalant about it and did not offer a refund. Left in such a hurry we forgot the laptop power cord. Went back the next day and not only could they not find it, they weren't even interested in figuring out where it... More

I stayed here with two friends for about a week in late January. We had a triple on the 2nd floor, so 3 single beds. The rooms are spare but clean. We spent more time at Olas than we were expecting, as the rainy weather kept us from doing much else the first 3 days we were in Bocas. The... More

Nice and quiet hotel, with a wonderful view and a very pleasant staff. Our room was well equipped with air-conditioning, fridge and a small private terrace. The manager (Noam) is very friendly, welcoming and available. He was of great help to choose the best restaurants and the greatest activities to do in Bocas during our stay! The "Bonnet Family" definitely... More

We stayed two nights in the hotel Olas in Bocas del Toro on March 1-2, 2011. The hotel itself is nice and clean for what you can expect in Bocas del Toro town. Nothing fancy, just a basic bed and TV in your room for a price tag of $48 a night for a couple at the time of our... More
