Cayos Zapatilla, Bocas del Toro Province hotel rooms at the Independent

"The staff was amazing and very accommodating from check in to room service and use of amenities. My bungalow was very clean and beautiful. Very comfortable. "

"Pool is awesome "

"Great hotel in the middle of town. Close to all restaurants and boat docks. The staff is very friendly and kind. The hotel can be a little noisy at night with all the people walking around the streets. "

"We had a great experience at Lula’s. It is a very friendly B&B. The location is great, the breakfast is served in the kitchen giving a familiar vibe and the hosts are really friendly and caring."

"Amazing stay! Firstly, perfect location, literally 6 min walk from the airport. It is located by the sea with a nice deck to sunbathe and jump to the water for a swim. There’s also a space for the boats to stop by for all excursions you book or if you want to take a water taxi somewhere, so no need to even walk to any port (you would be located right in Bocas with loads of restaurant/cafe options around within minutes of walking). The restaurant area is also right there with a great view and great food/drinks. The breakfast included is generous with 1 option of choice for the food and 2 options for drink. The room we stayed at was spectacular (family sea view), super clean, spacious, bright, nicely decorated and a huge balcony with a great view to the sea. The property also organizes an activity every night (movie night, Caribbean dinner, live music, beer pong, etc) which is a nice touch. They also offer a welcome drink where you meet other guests and interact with each other upon arrival (meet up at the restaurant at 5:30pm for it). I liked the mix of hostel + hotel vibes. Overall great stay and 100% recommend. Would definitely come back :) "

"All great, handy location but none of the patio doors lock so had to lug all valuables and equipment around as room was not secure. Friendly staff at front counter."

"Ok. Here is a review to help people as I have seen some bad reviews. This property is not a $1500/night maldives room. It needs some TLC - some deck boards and railings are at end of life, as are some chairs. We stayed in the master suite and really liked the place. Water is crystal clear, master suite has the best fish viewing, owners are really friendly and eager to please, food and drinks are decent - fresh OJ for the tequila sunrise! The charging station at the reception is not a big deal. I don’t need tvs. Fans kept us cool and it rained almost every night. There were a couple minor damp spots after rain but did not need the provided container. For the price this place is 100% worth it. I would go back in heart beat. If you need a blow dryer and straight iron and other high powered appliances to feel like you at home and need to watch your reality TV on a big screen, you might want to skip this. If you want a great relaxing location and unique experience - do it! "

"Got locked out with no one available to let me in. Room smelled funky No coffee available in the morning Paid cash and requested a reciept. Was told I would get one and never did"

"We felt in love with this place! Yoga , SPA , perfect dining. Everything exceptional in La Coralina! Will come back for sure! "
