Bocas Del Toro

Bocas Ridge Hotel & Residences

Carenero

A hidden Paradise awaits you at Bocas Ridge Hotel. With spectacular view of Colon Island (Bocas Town). Mountain top pools and rooms with awesome views. Food is prepared with the utmost care including lots of fruit, and delicious local dishes. Staff is always at your service and will make your visit special. Just 20 minutes from Bocas Ferry, so a great stepping off point to the islands. Pool and Grounds are kept to a very high standard of beauty. Be sure to make plans and book early.

Great Views

This was our 2nd stay at Bocas Ridge. We rented a 3 bedroom cottage just like on our previous trip two years ago. It was very clean, beds were comfortable, views of the Caribbean and surrounding areas were great. Food was upscale, staff was friendly. Owner, Cesar, is a "hands on" manger constantly making sure guest are happy. We definitely will go back next time. Cesar offers condos and motel style rooms also, as well as long term leases. You can also buy one of the house if you wish.

Excellent lodging and food

way up a twisty mtn road, not too many signs. a very nice place with a good restaurant, great beverages, pool, very nice accommodating staff and owner, calls us by name after our second stay. amazing view of bocas islands and banana port in almirante. we stay there and catch the morning car ferry to bocas so leave before breakfast. the manager made us a breakfast to go and delivered it to our room to put in the little fridge.  service above and beyond. small room but good ac, comfy beds, tv, and bathroom. saw monkeys, tucans, and lots of other great birds while sitting by the pool at sunset.

great out of the way place

We arrived here after missing the last ferry to Bocas del Toro. We were quoted quote a bit for the last apartment available but after speaking with management they reduced the price as there were 2 of us staying in a large apartment. The hospitality could not have been better. The owner Cesar spoke English and introduced himself. He told us we could leave our car for free at the hotel whilst on the islands and they would get us a local taxi or if anyone was going to the port in the morning they would take us. We had an evening meal by the pool which was lovely. A very relaxed atmosphere. The apartment was big. There was a kitchen area, bathroom with a washing machine and dryer, two bedrooms and a living room area. Very clean and well appointed. Hot water too. Breakfast was included and was basic but adequate. Bread rolls with butter and cheese and fruit with coffee and orange juice. Overall a great place to stay in the mountains. Upon leaving Cesar gave us his number in case we needed anything. Hospitality at it's finest. Thank you. 

Very helpful!

We (2 adults & 2 boys, 6 & 8) stayed for 1 night early January, before we needed to board the ferry to Bocas Del Toro in the morning. The accommodation was nice, big apartment with the basic amenities. The kitchen was rather empty of utensils but we didn't need it except for the fridge. Bocas Ridge is an apartment complex for people to move in and live in. Since they are new, they rent like a hotel. 
The welcome drink was nice, but it took forever to get served. Also, some of us had their drink while the rest of us didn't. We thought that we didn't communicate well, but it was just that they were slow, and seemed not interested to serve you.
We had dinner at their restaurant. Very disappointed by the service. Extremely slow service, took forever to get our food. Dishes with fish (we ordered 2 of them) were smelling fishy -pun intended! We also ordered a pizza which was good, just took forever to arrive.
The included breakfast is very simple: fruits, bread, cheese and jam, and coffee. Since we were going to leave early to catch the first ferry, they packed it up for us in the evening.
I am mostly disappointed that much of the hill top has been destroyed to build this complex. Now, this facility is the only one around Almirante (where you catch the ferry), so I recommend it. P.S. Almirante is dirty, small and eyes are on you/visitors.

Good for one night

The food was good. My fish with mustard & lemon sauce, vegetables and rice was fantastic (15 usd). The steak was ok, but for the price too expensive (20 usd). The room was unfortunately down, modestly clean (under the pillow a small bug has sprouted up) and small. The furniture is totally worn, partly broken and rusty. Breakfast was simple but good. Many local day guests who use the pool. It was very noisy and crowded. The view was fantastic.

Okay, great view, good food, bad room.

Very nice views and good pool but the room lacks maintenance, the night tables are damaged, the shower is damaged and the water is more salty than it should be, and the water is hot or cold. it was difficult to regulate a good temperature, humidity on the walls. and the restaurant takes quite a while to bring the food. that if we were given a courtesy drink and the batidos are very good. for us it is just a hotel to go to colon island but not to spend several days there.

A passing hotel.

We were so happy to find this hotel especially after having visited Almirante at night. Caesar the owner and host was most gracious and helped us arrange for a private tour of the indigenous chocolate farm. Nice wine selection and clean , spacious rooms. By far the best hotel anywhere around Almirante.


Surprising gem

Best choice in and around Almirante. A bit remote, for that nature pure! Super friendly staff. It satisfies every wish. The owner Don César takes great care of the well-being of his guests and offers every support. Whether it's on his own trips or tours. Food at the restaurant is highly recommended. There is also a welcome cocktail and something to snack on. The pool is always clean and you can swim in it nicely. Thank you to the whole team for my second unforgettable stay here! I'll be back!

I highly recommend it.

Excellent location. A view of the Admiral, phenomenal. Attended by Eliecer Miranda and the staff of girls, very attentive, friendly and smiling 😊 (if you notice that they live in Bocas; a paradise) The very rich food, the fabulous cabin and the attentive and friendly staff.
