Stayed at Tierra Verde on Careneros Island a couple of weeks ago, Mid may 2013. Hosts/Owners Ivan and Cookie were incredibly friendly and helpful in making sure our stay was comfortable and provided us with all information we need about Bocas. The hotel itself is comfortable and our room had icy cold A/C and television. The wifi was fast and... More

We stayed here from Feb. 21st to March 3rd, 2013. Four friends and my husband and I rented the top floor and one room on the second floor. From the moment we arrived, Ivan went out of his way to accommodate us. If we needed snacks, beer, etc., he would have it delivered if we didn't feel like island hopping.... More

Tierra Verde is probably the best place to stay on Carenero Island.....safe, quiet, clean but convienent to everything. Host and staff went out of their way to be accommodating--"It's a long story"....a very laid back place. Water taxis are the way to travel ($1 per person) to almost anywhere you need or want to go and arrived within minutes of... More

Firstly, the hosts are great. Very helpful and pleasant, making sure you get the best out of your holiday by arranging for boats, tours, etc. We were disappointed with our room, and in particular our bed. It was a poor mattress with old threadbare and stained sheets, no mattress cover, and the fitted sheet wouldn't stay on the slippery mattress... More

The hotel is convenient to all things in Bocas...while giving you a... More

If you are the irritatingly boorish ex-pat type who has no qualms about approaching diners in restaurants to berate them for taking too long to finish their meal, then PLEASE AVOID staying at Hotel Tierra Verde. But if your idea of a great vacation is staying at a charmingly rustic local establishment that is considerably better than a hostel and... More

spent 5 days here over christmas holiday and had an amazing experience. it's on a more chill island away from the noise and craziness of other islands. the owners are brothers and are hooked into all the action from where to surf, how to get a boat, where to go out, and pretty much anything else you may want to...

Great hosts, Cookie and Ivan can help you with literally anything you need and are there to hang out with the guests and make it a very friendly place. The hotel's location is perfect, close to everything and yet an ideal distance from the throngs. Everything we wanted and more. Also a really good price compared to everything else we... More

We checked in with no problem, staff is not very friendly. One of the two brothers who own this place is not very friendly and seems a little neurotic. They offer breakfast included with hotel stay, but only a tiny cup of fruit (pineapple or papaya), coffee, white bread with jelly or butter (very limited not like a buffet). Hotel... More

It seems like you trip to bocas was not a good experience as you found something negative about every establishment you went to. Sorry but we cannot control the weather as we are not god.
