Loved it. Had a beautiful room with balcony right over the water.our room was particularly good, not all rooms were as nice. Beautiful view out to islands etc. quiet position away from main area of Bocas Town but still an easy walk. Bocas is just lovely. We loved getting a bus to Bocas del drago beaches and starfish beach. Took water taxis to other islands as well. Coffee, cake and orange squash included for breakfast other breakfasts cost a small amount. Nice areas to sit and watch the scenery. Wifi worked well.

The hotel sits right on the water in a neighborhood less than a 10 minute walk from the main water taxi stop. I liked it because it wasn’t touristy. I traveled with my 14 and 9 year old, and they loved the two hammocks by the dock. After a little hiccup at check in about a room that would accommodate us, we had a great experience with the staff. They are helpful and friendly as is the owner. The rooms are small but clean, and there is hot water to shower with. Great location, and easy to walk around the town. If you’re looking for a reasonable no frills hotel, this is the place to go.

This was our third stay there and it was just ok. We had a street facing room. We like the local color so we didn’t mind sounds of the children playing in the street but the dogs and cats barking and screeching were a bit much. The servers were more interested in their cell phones than serving, which was never a problem before. It is a good location for boat pickups and great sunset views.

Olas is very near ferry’s terminal on the more residential side, so it stays quiet after hours. But it is an easy walk to all the activities and hot spots. The breakfast here is great plus you have a lovely view of the water. Rooms are pretty basic, but ours was clean and comfortable. Good shower (one warning-bring your own shampoo). All-in-all, a nice place to stay for your Bocas visit

We only stayed one night, the staff was friendly, the room was small but worked out fine. It's close to all the restaurants and stores. The free breakfast was really nice, and the view from the dinning area is spectacular.

I recently spent a month working in Bocas and wanted to splurge on my last night. I decided to go with Hotel Olas as the pictures seemed nice and there was a restaurant. I had a horrible experience at this place when in the middle of the night I found bedbugs. The night guard said he couldn't do anything to help me. Then after I sat for four hours waiting for reception the unfriendly staff told me she couldn't give me a refund for my room. I don't know if she was truthful in saying she didn't have money or if she was scheming me but I wouldn't be surprised if it were either. I'd probably just avoid if I were you.

Everything about this hotel was great, really strong WiFi, almost too hot of a shower (rare in central America), amazing AC and balcony with view. DRAWBACKS. Bathroom sink has a single push button water tap that is noise and annoying because you need to push it every 5 seconds to get water and only cold water. Makes it impossible to shave face because so cold and need to push button every 5 seconds lol. Free breakfast in the morning is only coffee and 2 pancakes. I didn't get fruits included I think it was finished but I did get fresh juice. It's nice that it is available until 11am and included in room fee. However, they do not offer any other breakfast option even IF you want to pay extra for it which was surprising because there was no way to get eggs or toast or anything like that. But the view right on the water Mase up for it. Very nice quite neighbourhood about 4 minutes walk to all the stores and restaurants but far away enough to not be noisy.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Olas. We thought the staff was great. Stephanie at the front desk, is a great asset to the hotel. She spoke English so she was a big help when we needed a tour set up or help with reservations for a flight out of Bocas. The kitchen staff, especially Yetti our waitress made us feel at home and our free breakfast everyday was delicious. When we plan another vacation to Bocas we both agree that we would stay at Hotel Olas.

We stayed one night! I had a satisfactory stay. However,my friends, a couple, had a rough night as the room did not have a control for the AC unit. The management did nothing to get another control for them. One of my friends was sick and they would not get her hot water for her to make some tea. They ran out rolls for breakfast and when someone brought some in, they would not offer them the rolls.

At check in receptionist tried to charge me double but I had written confirmation of price. Free breakfast was grudgingly served, one meal at a time over an hour - some of us got our coffee. Second day we went out for breakfast out of frustration. Only friendly staff was Alex at the bar/restaurant in the afternoon. Rooms were fine, but windows had very sketchy "locks" so we never left anything in the rooms. Definitely would not go back to Bocas.

We spent a week at this funky little hotel on the water in Bocas Town. The only disappointment was lack of a swimming beach within walking distance. Walls are adorned with paintings. The staff was friendly, courteous and professional.

We had a great time in Hotel Olas, the hotel is built all from wood which is really nice, clean and well maintained. It has a deck facing the ocean with a dock where you can sit to view the beautiful sunset. The boats can pick you there so you don't have to go to town to find a ride to the nearby islands.
