It was such a lovely experience here. A beautiful and charming hostel with a gorgeous view. Such friendly staff and really helpful. It has everything you need and you’ll leave with new friends too! I would definitely stay again :)

My family and I stayed in six different hotels across Panama over a two week period and the consensus at the end was that Casa Acuario was the favourite. And by quite a distance. First of all, it’s just a cool place to stay. On stilts, over clear warm water, perfect for the kids (and adults) to snorkel, we got to see shawls of small fish along with a few big ones and the odd ray within seconds of our arrival. We were a two minute boat-taxi away from Bocas town and its modest number of good bars and restaurants, but staying at Casa Acuario meant we got the peace and quiet which the mainland didn’t look like it easily provided. The room we were in (upstairs) was easily big enough for two adults and the kids (aged 13 and 10), nicely decorated and with really comfortable beds and a hammock from which you could overlook the sea. As dog lovers, my children were over the moon that there were three (clean, friendly and well behaved) dogs on site. There were a couple of good places to eat and drink on the small island which we could get to on foot from Casa Acuario, and a nice beach about 15mins walk from the hotel. The fridge full of beer on the decking was also a nice touch! But alongside all of these positives, the main thing that gave Casa Acuario the ‘X Factor’ were the owners, Mandy and JP. We were made to feel welcome from minute one, they could not have been more helpful and they made a real impression on the whole family in our three days with them. And just to provide a little context, after Casa Acuario were went to the nearby, and much more expensive, Eclypse de Mar Acqua Lodge for two nights which, before arriving, I thought was going to be the highlight of the Bocas itinerary. Take nothing away from The Eclypse which was seriously nice, but I wish I’d stayed at Casa Acuario for the full duration. Definitely in the top 5 favourite hotels I’ve stayed in across six continents.

Surroundings are a little loud and the leaking sewer outside was unpleasant, though the room was nice and quiet enough.

The owners are fabulous Great communication. Offer airport pickup and drop off. Clean. Well stocked. Breakfast was large and delicious! Best stay in San Jose I've ever had and will stay again.

Andrea United States

it was clean, comfortable, and nice location because it was less than a ten minute walk from the party part of town but quiet enough where you could sleep well. They had great hot water and a food AC.

The breakfast was exceptional and the dinner was out of this world. The deserts had us licking the plate. The proprietor Nadia was most helpful in getting us a taxi, bringing us items from the grocery and wonderful conversations and good laughs.

You can see monkeys and sloths around the hotel. The views from the bed are amazing. Super clean. Amazing food. Great staff. Extremely comfortable bed.
