"The reservation went through perfectly and checking in was easy. The room itself was okay for a short stay and served its purpose, but I did notice that the property is showing its age. There were a few minor maintenance issues that need attention. It is a reasonable and functional place to sleep, but a little extra maintenance would definitely improve the experience 🙂"

10/10 Excellent
"Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the resort, Esthefany and the entire staff were very accommodating and made certain that all of our needs were met. The resort offers a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere and the views were picturesque. We enjoyed a private boat tour of the island which included snorkeling, dolphin watching, and relaxation at the beach and we also participated in the zip line experience. Orbitz did not provide an option to add on the transfer from the airport to the boat tender (less than 5 mins away) but there was a gentleman from the resort that shuttled our group to the tender upon arrival. Great experience!!!"

10/10 Excellent
"This was our favourite stop on our 3 week trip. This property is a piece of paradise. The bungalow over the water was amazing - clean and spacious! The breakfast was wonderful and the lunch and dinner options were also amazing. We loved the nature trail and we made good use of the paddle boards on offer. However, the best thing about this hotel is the staff. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel like family. All of the staff were so kind, friendly and helpful. They were wonderful with our 16 month old. Special shout out to Rafia (sorry if this is spelt wrong) - he was brilliant with our son! This hotel will always be our favourite holiday destination. Thank you so much everyone, we hope to be vac one day!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Carenero Island?
The best area to stay on Carenero Island is along its northern and western coasts, offering convenient access to Bocas Town and lovely waterfront views.The northern coast, particularly near the main dock, is where you'll find most of the guesthouses and hotels. This area is quite peaceful, with properties often featuring overwater bungalows or direct beach access. It's a short, affordable water taxi ride across to Bocas Town on Isla Colón, which is great for those who want to enjoy Carenero's relaxed atmosphere while still having easy access to Bocas Town's restaurants and nightlife.Couples often find the secluded feel of the western coast particularly appealing. Here, accommodations tend to be more spread out, offering greater privacy. You can enjoy quiet evenings with sunset views over the water, and many places provide kayaks or paddleboards for exploring the calm waters directly from your doorstep.
When is the best time to go to Carenero Island?
The best time to go to Carenero Island is during the driest months, typically from February to April and again in September and October.These periods offer the most sunshine and calmest seas, which are ideal for enjoying the island's beaches, water sports, and boat trips to nearby attractions. While Bocas del Toro has a tropical climate year-round, these months generally see less rainfall and more consistent good weather.For travellers interested in water activities like snorkelling, diving, or surfing, these dry seasons provide the best conditions. The clearer waters enhance visibility for underwater exploration, and the gentler waves are superb for beginners or those looking to relax on the water.Those looking for a relaxing beach holiday will also appreciate these times.
