Tierra Oscura, Bocas del Toro Province hotel rooms at the Independent

"The property is breathtaking! Absolutely beautiful. Staff was kind. The lodge was stayed in was comfortable and spacious. The view from the balcony was stunning. Wish there was one more restaurant in the property. There are times when the only restaurant does not offer food service so plan your tours etc accordingly. The restaurant functions on island time so pack your patience. The listing on Expedia says private pool for the lodge but it is actually shared between 10 lodges. Overall a great stay ! "

"I would consider this a high end hostel although I have no comparison as we usually stay in 4 star places but we we surprisingly pleased with this place. Although it was beside the airport it was ok as there were no night flights and we were out and about during the day Our hosts were very friendly and helpful and are continually modernizing A small fridge in the room would be great🇨🇦👍 "

"The place is very tired and not well maintained. The amenities are not user friendly - e.g. getting into and out of the kayaks from the high dock is very challenging - my daughter fell into the water. There is a shortage of amenities. They were very late picking us up."

"Room was ok. Bed was horrible. Very hard abs lumpy. "

"Refused to allow us to arrive early stating they did not have space - simply not true..it is a very large compound with many places to hang out. They need more staff - the owners are working too hard and seemed burned out. "

"Good breakfast, great location at the end of downtown strips， room is very spacious and quiet"

"We loved our stay at Lula’s! The rooms and shared space were cleanly and beautiful. The breakfast in the mornings was delicious. The staff and owners are extremely kind. The whole environment was very welcoming. "

"Really only for couples looking for off grid experience. Not for families at all. "

"The staff was excellent and very accommodating. "
