Bocas Del Toro

Hotel Posada Los Delfines

Bocas del Toro

I did not stay her but I had pizza.  The pizza is priced just right for families traveling.  The pizzas are prepared before you.  They taste fresh and good after a long day of touring and sightseeing.  The staff is kind and very helpful.  A friend got pasta and enjoyed it very much. Do try this spot.

Great Pizza

The hotel is a couple of blocks from downtown Bocas. Its equipment is quite basic, but it is well maintained. The bed is not one of the most comfortable and the mattress was quite old.

A basic hotel at a reasonable price.

No, we stayed at the hotel, but we had dinner at the restaurant and we enjoyed our salads, possibly the best Hawaiian pizza we've ever eaten and the shrimp with Creole sauce were delicious, very recommended and very friendly.

A very recommended restaurant.

This place was the absolute perfect hotel for our stay in Bocas! Cute little mom and pop with a good restaurant on the first floor. Certainly don't expect the Ritz, but this is great if you're looking for a quiet and safe place to crash on your scuba or beach trip. The rooms were clean, the staff was great/spoke English, and we had A/C and hot water. We are a couple backpacking Central America in our mid-20's, so the bare necessities at a cheap price was exactly what we were looking for.

After reading some other reviews, I am kind of baffled by those who gave a poor rating because they were expecting more from the hotel... what were you expecting for less than $40 a night? It's priced perfectly for what you get and we loved it!

Great for price!

I stayed in Bocas del Toro for 5 days and stayed at the Posada los Delfines. It is a hotel very close to the airport that can be reached comfortably on foot (no more than 500 meters). If you arrive from Panama do not think about making a price/hotel comparison because Los Delfines is a small, decorative hotel that has nothing to do with the big cities. Very close to several supermarkets, bus stop to go to the various beaches (to see Playa las Estrellas) and the pier to visit the nearby islands, it is located in the center of Bocas del Toro. The rooms have air conditioning, colour TV with the small channels on the Spanish channel and it also looks like some in English (no bread), the daily exchange is supplemented by a daily exchange and the price is very convenient.

REMARKING at the mouth of the bull

The hotel is located in the Northern part of town, which is fairly quiet at night.  During the day, there are cars, golf carts, trucks and buses that pass by and produce some noise.
We stayed in room 206 for 4 nights.  The room is basically a room with a tile floor and 2 beds.  The whitewashed walls could really use a fresh layer of paint as they showed many stains and the paint was rubbed off in some areas.
There was a small dresser table with a mirror and a tiny table and a tiny chair.
In one corner was a wooden frame that acts as storage and a place to hang some of your clothes.
The curtains have some holes and stains.  Under the curtain on the floor we saw many tiny insects.  The majority were dead, but some alive.  One day we found many dead flies on my wife's pillow.  The hotel personnel exchanged it immediately, but we still wonder how they got on the pillow.
The air conditioning was quiet and efficient, even though the remote control did not work well.
On the TV we found 2 English speaking channels, the rest were in Spanish.
The door to the bathroom could not be fully closed or locked as the door frame was damaged.
The bathroom had a sink, toilet and shower.  The toilet cover was 1 size too small for the toilet.  The bathroom relies on natural ventilation through a rectangular hole with horizontal bars, but no window or mosquito net to keep critters out.  That's probably why we got quite a few mosquito bites.
The sink was missing a sink stopper.  As in the bedroom, there were stains on the wall, too.  The water temperature in the shower kept fluctuating and was sometimes too hot or too cold.  Only 2 small bars of soap were provided.  No shampoo, no body wash, no hair dryer, no bottled water.
Wifi in the room was basically non existent.  We may have gotten 1 or 2 hours  of wifi in our room during our stay.  In the first days, we were at least able to get wifi in the restaurant on the first floor, but later on, that was very spotty, too.  We had asked the owner multiple times to reset the router.  Typically, wifi did work in the restaurant for a short while after the resets and then there was no internet again.  My advice is: don't count on any internet connection.  Go to another restaurant instead where they have free wifi.
The door to the room has a simple lock that could easily be picked.  There is no deadbolt and no safe in the room.  One day, they forgot to lock our room after cleaning.
Breakfast was included.  It consisted of (per person): 1 glass of orange juice, a cup of coffee (with a refill), 3 small slices of bread, 1 portion of margarine and 2 portions of marmalade.  For an extra of $2.50, you get a small portion of scrambled eggs or an omelette.
The hotel personnel is friendly and responsive and speaks a little English.  They can also book excursions for you and tell you how to get to Starfish beach by taking the inexpensive bus ($2.50pp) from the park and then a water taxi ($1.50pp).
The hotel accepts Visa and MasterCard for the room and to pay for dinner.
Long story short: we would not stay there again due to the lack of internet connectivity and the poor quality of the room.

You get what you pay for - and very little wifi

The room was small and claustrophobic, the window didn't open and the air conditioning was very noisy, although it was the only way to get fresh air in, the saunas were dirty, and the bathroom looked the same as the rest of the property.

Horrible 

Kind staff, the owner speaks also english. The room was small but clean, the bathroom was also ok. The walls are thin, you can hear everything from outside but the night and neighbours weren't noisy so we could sleep. It's close to the center, in a good part of the town.

Regular room for good price

The typical Booking.com trick is to make you think you're booking a very good deal and show you photos that have nothing to do with the real thing. The room is very rudimentary. The window doesn't open. There's no ventilator. So there's nothing left but to put on a noisy air conditioner. The sheets were badly washed and had hair. The bathroom when it arrived didn't work and looked dirty. The cable was untuned. In the afternoon, they had a private party full of children grinding. At the bar, no one was responsible for any problems. Only a pancake took a malluca that showered with two other types. The Spanish ceremony awaits me and bar me the U$55 that pays for this pocket. There's a better and more fun place to go than at night.

It's hot, dirty and expensive.

Pizza was good (with fresh pineapple!!), but somehow not very special. We noticed the very nice people (cooks & service ladies).
