The Best Hotels Near Nayara Bocas Del Toro, by the Record


  1. Nine thatch-roofed bungalows perched on stilts over the Bocas del Toro archipelago, each with French doors opening onto private terraces and a staircase straight down to the Caribbean. Solar power keeps things intentionally low-tech, which is the whole point. Skylights for stargazing, hammocks for the rest, and a veranda restaurant running on whatever the boats brought in. The Michelin Guide has it among its selected hotels.


  2. Sloths in the canopy and toucans at breakfast: this boutique hotel on Costa Rica's southern Caribbean coast earns its setting rather than just borrowing it. A family project built around an artist's eye, it mixes colorful, boldly furnished suites with more rustic bungalows and a five-bedroom house for larger groups. The open-air restaurant leans into Afro-Caribbean cooking, and the beach club is a short walk from a genuinely quiet stretch of sand. Michelin named it a Key property.
