Reviewed November 1, 2011 Trip Advisor Reviewed October 23, 2011 – Colin M from Vancouver, Canada Trip Advisor“I have traveled to Central America more than 10 times. I have stayed in tons of hostels and I can say with 100% confidence that Bocas Bound is the best hostel that I have ever stayed at! The nature that surrounds you on the island, combined with the people and accommodation make Bocas Bound a place that you can’t afford to miss if you are traveling in Bocas del Toro. The beaches are beautiful! The only thing that I regret about our trip is that we didn’t get to spend enough time exploring the secluded beaches on the island.” –Independent Trip Advisor Review, December 2009
