Playa Tortuga Hotel and Beach Resort

An icon of Caribbean relaxation, Playa Tortuga Hotel and Beach Resort commands attention on the sun-kissed shores of Bocas del Toro. Overlooking the breathtaking turquoise waters, this 117-room beachfront paradise combines vibrant local culture with modern design elements, creating an inviting atmosphere that feels both timeless and contemporary. As you step into the stylish lobby, the instant allure is palpable: delicate artwork showcases the region's rich biodiversity; the design weaves seamlessly with natural beauty, ensuring that the stunning ocean panorama remains a constant backdrop. This is just a taste of what awaits-a large oceanfront pool area with separate child and adult zones; a lively beach volleyball court; and a poolside bar that beckons with refreshing cocktails at sunset. Experience culinary delights at the renowned Baula Restaurant, perched at the end of a private pier, where each meal is accompanied by sweeping sea views that will leave you breathless, especially as the sun dips below the horizon.

For more adventurous spirits, local guides are readily available for diving, snorkeling, and jungle hikes; these excursions reveal the stunning biodiversity that makes the archipelago a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With Bocas del Toro Isla Colon International Airport a mere 10 km away, convenience is a given, allowing for seamless arrivals and departures.

“Playa Tortuga aims for a broad appeal, and the three oceanfront pools, including the largest in Bocas del Toro, are a definite draw. Dining at Baula Restaurant, perched at the end of the private pier, brings a certain flair. While some might find the resort showing its age, the location and recreational options make it a practical choice for active families.”
