Bocas Del Toro

Hotel Tierra Verde

Carenero

Friendly and helpful staff, clean rooms, an excellent location and great vibes!!!  We arrived early and they quickly had our room ready at no extra charge.  The bar only charged $2 / beer!!!   Water taxis took us to the main island in 1min and only cost $1-$2 /person

Upon early arrival we were greeted by Edgar and were let into our rooms at no extra charge.  We loved the atmosphere!!!!

This gem is in just the right location for just about everything in Bocas De Toro.  A 3-5 minute walk to Aqua Lounge, Bibis and many other popular Carenero famous attractions.  It’s away from the hustle and bustle of Bocas town, but it’s only a 1-2minute, $1-$2 water taxi away.  The staff was always super friendly and were always around when we needed. Our room was super clean and modern.  Such a relief from a few rough places we stayed earlier in our trip.  We recommend any couple, family or lone traveller to relax in this part of paradise.  

Great place to fall in love with Bocas!!!

So take some of this with a grain of salt because I was grumpy as all get out from dealing with the bugs on the island as they seemed to love me and I forgot to use the bug spray the first morning there.
Room was great. The sheets were amazing. It was mostly clean and they maintained it regularly.  AC worked great. Location on that island was great. 
Great view.
Breakfast was the basics of bread/ toast, eggs and fruit with juice or coffee and was enough.
Staff was super helpful and very good.
Cons: having to pay cash. Wish I had known this ahead of time instead of showing up and being asked for a wad of cash. 


Good for what I paid

You reach by a taxi boat right on the pier that is in front. You can also take the taxi back from here. The manager will be there to welcome you. There is always someone on premise. The place is fenced and felt very safe. This place is actually pretty big and is a cabin on the inside. It is very spacious, has a common area, kitchen, and many rooms with private bathrooms, AC, netflix, and there were balconies on every floor. The bed was very comfortable. My room was also very clean and the whole place was neat as well. Breakfast is continental but if you consider the remote location it is just perfect because you have all you need and they give you a lot of food. Coffee and breakfast are always ready by the time you wake up since the manager is up very early. There are also some tables outside and places to just sit on the patio and enjoy the weather. You can also sit in the balcony. The area is very peaceful and no-one bothers despite there being quite a movement of tourists or locals on the main walkway of the beach. The manager will get you anything from the shops if you need. They are very helpful and were also very nice to me. He is also very well known in the area which gives you some security. I would spent most of my day there and at Bibis which is nearby and then take a taxi back to isla Colon if I wanted to go for the nightlife however just staying there is perfectly fine. It is very relaxing and peaceful. I would recommend and definitely will come back. I loved it.

A spot in paradise without leaving what you like.

Over the recent Holiday season, I was lucky enough to stay at Hotel Tierra Verde, a small boutique hotel on the leeward side of the island, just a 2-minute boat ride from the Downtown Bocas area.  I was there for 5 days and honestly, it was a true adventure, from diving in some of the clearest water in the world to surfing a true deep set of waves on the windward side.  The difference between these 2 environments is about a 10-minute walk, cutting through beaches you only see in the movies.  If you need that American stimuli for an hr or so there is a great bar in town for a few beers, but you should concentrate on just relaxing in the water hammocks.  To sum it up, Hotel Tierra Verde is one of the great true getaways in Panama, to be clear, this is for the adventure and relaxing desired traveler, it is quiet and secluded and it is true island life!  Cookie and Ivan are the two brothers that own the place and speak great English for those concerned and are more than helpful in planning your trip with guides, getting water taxis, dinners etc.  All in all, it's a place in the world you must enjoy!

Top 5 place in Panama! - tcox

I love that it has a beach right in front of it, and two of the best spots in Bocas such as Bibi's on the beach and aqualounge! phenomenal for going with family or friends, I recommend it, a basic breakfast but only if you breakfast many days don't get up so early, good air conditioning and crystal clear water beach! to go to Isla Colón is great because it is so close that you should not pay more than 2 to 3 dollars per person!

Excellent place to stay.

We stayed here for two nights. It is a small B&B located on the water with spectacular views-very quiet with balconies, It is a 5 minute ride be water taxi from Bocas Town. It is run by two Brothers, Ivan and Cookie who were very friendly and great to talk with to find out all about life in the islands. Breakfast is included and was fruit bowl, yogurt, coffee, toast. For dinner we strolled down the beach to BIBI's. Our room was clean, the beds were comfortable and it was just a charming place to stay.

a rustic Bocas style gem

Great rooms, beautiful location and a place to truly escape hectic business life in a tropical environment. Incredibly close to the best surfing spot(s) in the whole area and walking distance to 2 restaurants and a super market. Keep in mind this is on a tiny island. Don't expect too much from the breakfast, this would be the only advice for improvement. There are some cockroaches, however, this wasn't unusual in other places as well.

Fun stay, great conversations with owner

It's a nice hotel, the owners are great people... close to the waves of carnivals... nice and clean room... morning coffee with fresh fruit and toast.

It's perfect

I planned to stay here numerous nights while attending Spanish classes. I paid a deposit for 1/2 of the total amount prior to arrival. On the first night I saw 2 very big Cockroaches in my room near the bed. I saw an additional 3 more smaller ones in the bathroom. I got hardly any sleep. The hotel is somewhat in the woods so I wouldn't be completely surprised if I saw one (after all it is Panama by the beach), but there were so many.
In the morning, I told the owner about the cockroaches and let him know that I could not stay here as long as I had planned because so many cockroaches in the room i am not able to sleep with so many bugs in the bedroom. I advised I would only be staying one more night and of course would owe him for the two nights stayed in total.
The owner kindly changed my room but even the other room had huge cockroaches. The next morning prior to my departing the owner said he would see what he could do about my Paypal refund. 
A few weeks later, I again questioned the owner about my Paypal refund for the balance of 1/2 the deposit. He insisted he owed me nothing as I decided not to stay the full intended time. I informed him that the reason I left was due to unfit conditions. Conditions that as an owner were his responsibility. The hotel cockroach situation was not at all as advertised. After weeks of negotiations and he agreed to give me a partial refund. That was 3 months ago! I still have not received any refund.
For the record I stayed in multiple places in Panama and not one other place had any cockroaches. Unless you also want to deal with many cockroaches and an owner that lacks integrity I highly recommend to AVOID this place.
