Santa Cruz Hotels

"We had an amazing time at Bocas del Mar. The entire staff is courteous, kind and helpful. Our airline delayed our bags. Since the closest commercial area is 1 hr away, I was very stressed because I had none of our belongings l, including our kids swim gear. I spent so many hours reaching out to the airline, but the true help came when Odalys (hotel manager) helped me contact and go to the local airline’s office to retrieve our luggage when it arrrived. After that wrinkle, our trip was perfect. The food was great, varied options, yummy drinks, plenty of options for the kids. The pools were clean and comfy. The tours offered by the hotel (at a surcharge) were so much fun and the guides so knowledgeable and nice. I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. FYI They do not have a private beach on the property. They do offer water-taxi rides to visit the nearest beach. Otherwise when you take one if the tours, you can visit several gorgeous beaches nearby. "

"Marc and his wife are fabulous hosts. The casita is well equipped the location is breathtaking. The moment you step on to the property you will feel at home and relaxation will come over you. There are numerous activities in the area and Marc will provide detailed information so you can take advantage of them. Do not second guess booking this rental. It will not disappoint! Enjoy"

"We had a fantastic two week stay at Casa Nero. I would absolutely stay there again. We loved the pool and the view from it over Playa Hermosa. The pictures are absolutely what you see is what you get! There is ample space everywhere, kitchen, living room, bedrooms, closet space, patio, as well as a gas BBQ and functional laundry facilities."

"The room was very nice.. amazing view of the islands.. especially from the second deck.. this is a very cozy resort… I believe that there are fewer than 6 Room available.. Although there is no access to the Beach.. the view more than make up for that…guest services were excellent.. the owners, Herbie and Erica are amazingly.. Herbie is your Breakfast Cook and it is always perfection.. a large variety of breakfast choices… the pool was a beautiful.. wouldn’t hesitate to stay again… "

"Everything about this resort was great! Food was fantastic, staff were very friendly! You cannot beat the views! "

"Attentive and friendly staff, beautiful location and beach across the street"

"Food was really good, bed very confortable and nice quiet place"

"Fantastic experience. The house was even better than the photos. The check-in was so fantastic, facilitated by a local couple who met us at the house and ensured all was well. Well maintained, clean, beautiful pool, amazing kitchen stocked with cooking equipment for a large family and everything needed for a stay 'like home'. Bbq, tiki hut outside for amazing evenings watching the birds, listening to the ocean and the monkeys. Access to the beach as advertised, and the local beach (you can walk there along the coast at medium or low tide) was spectacular, and we were usually the only ones there. Hosts were communicative and friendly, and we were able to connect with local guides and neighbours. Amazing. Start to finish. "

"It was a beautiful home in the middle of nowhere. It is an 1 hour flight from Panama City and about an hour drive from Airport David. Once you are there it is so peaceful and self contained. Right on the beach of the Pacific Ocean and a cute little beach club down the road. Great set up for BBQ and swimming in the pool. Perfect for a quiet getaway with family. The host was helpful and quick to respond. My boys learned how to surf here."
