Tesoro Escondido Eco Lodge and Cabinas

Our stay was amazing, we originally booked 2 nights but wound up staying over a week and even that was not long enough. This is a magical place -from the hosts and staff to all the critters and nature surrounding you, the property and buildings, it's truly an authentic place, you know the kind that are disappearing to be replaced by box hotels :( Tesoro Escondido is a place you never want to leave. Danielle, Woody, & Rolu are the best hosts that make you feel like family! Breakfast was absolutely delicious every morning, made with LoVe :) The beach and beach bar are super chill, we were lucky to be there to do some amazing snorkeling right out front! (late Sept-early Oct.) Sloths, howler monkeys and even a resident Toucan!!!!!! I do not think there is a better place to stay in Bocas Del Toro. We can not wait to go back!

We spent 4 amazing and relaxing days at Tesoro Escondido. Waking up with the sound of waves and light rain, having breakfast with a breathtaking view over the ocean surrounded by trees, and enjoying the company of Tesoro's various pets (cat, dog, and toucan !). When it's sunny enjoy a long walk down the beach and when it's raining just get cosy on a hammock catching up on some reading, drawing or just having a rest while listening to nature's sounds. The food was amazing with a large choice for vegan / vegetarian.

Had a great time here. The food as excellent, room as nice and comfortable with a full kitchen and living room area plus hammock and deck chairs. Lovely beach nearby, staff are great, 10/10 spot.

Really beautiful accommodation. Based on a cliff with really great views across the ocean. There are monkeys, cat and a toucan that hang around the place. The staff were really helpful. Can’t fault my stay here! Can recommend.

The owner (Woody) rescued me on the side of the road in Bocas in the rain. The view from the hotel is amazing and the private beach and beach bar are a great vibe. Highly recommend!

The "Tesoro Escondido" is, what the name promises - a hidden treasure. The selling points of this hotel are its charme of being completely immersed in the surrounding nature, the amazing staff, which is always attentive and makes sure you will have the best of times, the delicious food, which was the best we had on the island(s), as well as the price-performance ratio, which is unbeatable. Also, if you love animals, both wild and domesticated, it´s the place to be - Río, the wild but tame Toucan visits frequently, sloths are to be found all around the accomodation, and you will probably be visited by one of the cats or the chubby dog (Brownie, aka dicke Kartoffel) during breakfast or even in your room. We stayed in room 1, which is simple, but cozy and spacious enough for two people. It doesn´t have A/C, but with the provided fans we managed to stay cool and sleep like babies to the sound of the crashing waves (and the fan ;)). The shower is amazing and offers good water pressure and hot water, which is not taken for granted in many hotels here! Lovely to come back from a sweaty day in the jungle to. The location can be seen as both a pro and a con, as it is quite remote. By foot, everything is quite far, a taxi to town costs 15 USD, and the cheaper bus runs infrequently and a bit unreliably. However, if you plan for this, you´ll be fine! All in all, we highly recommend this accomodation for lovers of nature and special accomodations, who don´t mind the remoteness or the feeling to be immersed in the jungle for their time here. 5 stars from us, looking forward to coming back already!

This is the most beautiful property in Bocas, the food is amazing, Rio the toucan is a total thrill, and the private beach is an amazing place to kill an hour or whole day. Staying here is that total package and worth every bit of effort and money. Keep your travel plan, the protests are over and the experience of staying here is once in a lifetime!

Beautiful hotel in a very nice location. It is a 15-minute ride from the main town, and with buses not running regularly, the best way to get here is by taxi or by renting an electric bike. The remoteness of the hotel really makes it a special place because it is so quiet. The owners are very friendly, the cocktails are nice, it has a little private beach, you can get breakfast and dinner. There is also a kitchen available to cook your own meals.
