Fodor's Expert Review Casa Acuario

Southern side of island, Carenero, Bocas del Toro, Panama

The view from the rooms in this two-story building over the water on the south side of Isla Carenero is of turquoise waters, boats, and the occasional seabird. The building has four spacious, airy rooms that sleep up to four, with wooden floors, walls, and ceilings, cane furniture, and several big windows. They open onto wrap-around balconies, and are equipped with air-conditioning, ceiling fans, mini-refrigerators, and TVs. Inexpensive breakfasts are served on a deck in back, and guests have access to shared kitchen facilities. A small beach lies beside the hotel.

PROS
