Casa Acuario Boutique Hotel

Paradise on earth! We explored Panama with our girls (18 and 21). When arriving at Casa Acuario we felt at home instantly. The owners are fabulous and so is host Arièl. The hotel is decorated with love and the beds are even more comfortable then at home. Favorite spot; hammock on our private terrace. The girls loved jumping in the sea from our balcony. We spotted beautiful fishes and starfishes around the hotel. The team is always at your service for restaurant advise, excursion ideas and are making the best breakfast. We will come back for sure!

Such a delightful experience for all Of us! From our warm welcome to our luggage storage exit everything was perfect! Unbelievable views! Wonderful Staff to answer any questions and hosts that have such attention to detail it’s amazing! Perfect location to travel to other idk ads and a $1 water taxi ride to Bocas Town. But why leave when the snorkeling, swimming, kayaking and paddle boards are on your dock. With a picture perfect beach and delicious and delightful restaurants nearby. Can’t imaging staying anywhere else!!! It was fabulous!! Many thanks and best of luck to Mandy, JP and the resident pups!!

Our family of four, including teens age 16 and 19, stayed here over Christmas and we all LOVED it! Mandy and JP were gracious hosts, and went above and beyond to make our visit great by recommending places to visit, eat, etc. Honestly, I want to be Mandy :) and run this very sweet little inn on this special little island. The breakfast menu is awesome and everything was a hit with my family. For lunches and dinners we liked that there are several fantastic places to eat within easy walking distance of the inn - Leaf Eaters, Bibi's, and Coquitos. Per Mandy's recommendation, we also took a boat to The Firefly for Christmas dinner which we really enjoyed and we got a glimpse of the area's bioluminescent plankton on the boat trip home which was an added bonus! I echo what all others have said here - this is a GREAT place to stay, with exceptional staff, clean rooms, and access to the little things that can really make a difference on vacation in a tropical climate - Mandy and JP have have thought of it all - beach towels, functional snorkel gear, coffee, bug repellent, Zyrtec, yoga mats, an honor fridge with cold drinks, etc. This is without a doubt where I would stay again if I ever make it back to Bocas and I say this after having also stayed somewhere else on the island after leaving Casa Acuario. Stay here.

Excellent/tasty food. Great menu, had a veggie fluffy omelette with potatoes that started with homemade bread + jam = really good. All-around wonderful service. Waterfront eating and it’s part of a hotel too. You can take a $1 launch from Bocas - only takes 5 minutes. RECOMMEND!

Mandy and Jp were so helpful and welcoming, they gave us great information and tips about Bocas del Toro and Panama. All the details were perfect at Casa Acuario. A true paradise. They really made our stay in Bocas so enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Bocas del Toro. Will definitely stay here for our future stays in Bocas.
