Bocas del Toro is the new “hot spot” in the Caribbean. Long on the adventure traveler/back packer circuit, Bocas del Toro is now on the radar screen of more affluent travelers seeking accommodations in more upscale Bocas del Toro Hotels. In response to this demand there has been an increase in hotel offerings in recent years. Only a few Bocas del Toro Hotels can offer sophisticated accommodations near the beach. This is because most of Bocas del Toro’s beaches exist on the north shore of Bastimentos island. The best beaches in all of Panama exist on the island of Bastimentos. In fact, the beaches are so popular that upwards of 500 visitors each day take a shuttle or boat ride to the island so they can have access to these beaches.
There is just one Bocas del Toro hotel or resort that offers instant access to these Beaches. The Red Frog Beach Resort has a variety of accommodations available to budget or upscale visitors. This is not a Bocas del Toro Hotel in the true sense of the word, but it is a resort that is in the early stages of becoming a magnet to the region. With a marina, zip line canopy tour, hiking trails and fully functioning beach club with an activity center, this Bocas del Toro Hotel is starting to gain the attention of travelers.
Most visitors to the Bocas del Toro archipelago want to experience the marine environment in ways that are meaningful and leave a lasting impression. Boat tours, diving trips, snorkeling adventures are often on the list for visitors to local Bocas del Toro Hotels. But having access to the marine environment- and in particular the Bastimentos National Marina Park- with its pristine coral reefs and golden sand beaches and aquamarine waters is a highlight of many a visitor’s vacation to the region. The Red Frog Beach is the only Bocas del Toro hotel/resort offering that is contiguous to this National Marine Park.
During a vacation with just a week or a few days to explore, access is everything. Being able to walk to the beach or through the rainforest just a few steps from accommodations is the holy grail of vacationing here in Bocas del Toro. Many Bocas del Toro hotels are in town- which is great for access to dining options and having a night out on the town. However, a quick ten minute boat ride is all it takes to enjoy these pursuits without the noise and riff raff that can exist in Bocas town. We encourage those planning a visit to Bocas del Toro to have a look at our offering. Please take a look at what our visitors had to say about our resort on Trip Advisor. We hope that your visit to Bocas del Toro is a great one.
