Description
A Typical Casa Verde Guest:
Our guests want to be able to enjoy the Caribbean lifestyle and sunbathe, swim, snorkel or relax in a shaded hammock over the water without having to pack up and leave the hostel. That's why they come to Casa Verde which is the only hostel located over the water in beautiful Bocas del Toro Panama. To be honest, it's really more of a guest house, because you feel so at home. Our kitchen is fully equipped and we have a bbq pit and free charcoal. Our guests are often between the ages of 20 and 40 and all are interested in experiencing the laid back vibe of Casa Verde

What makes Casa Verde Unique:
You can swim right from our dock in search of starfish and coral, hang out with new friends in our waterfront tiki hut with our ipod jam box and take in views of the bay, marina, the mountains, ferry dock, and Volcano Baru - Panama's highest peak. We are in a quiet neighborhood but close to everything Bocas has to offer. We are a stones' throw from the Spanish School. Restaurants, bars and shops are just a short walk from your door. We also can provide you with customized boat tours and can make arrangements for any other tour you would like including real estate, around Bocas Town, and the San Blas Islands. Bocas offers incredible surfing, diving and snorkeling as well as a tropical jungle that is safe to explore.

Our house is not a "party house" per se - we love to have a good time, but recognize the importance of having a refuge where you can get a good nights sleep. Our beds are orthopedic and come with air-conditioning - something not usually found in hostels in Bocas. The community kitchen is one of the best in Panama-just be sure to clean up after each meal. You also get your own fridge in your room so you don't have to worry about someone "sampling" your leftovers from the community fridge. Finally, our staff is very knowledgeable and has your best interests at heart. Feel free to ask them about anything that comes to mind.

Because we are a smaller guest house, we're able to take better care of you on an individual basis which helps you feel at home and ensure you have a better time.

Come enjoy life on the water with us!

AddressAvenida Sur (South Street), Bocas del Toro, Panama
LocationCasa Verde is located on the South end of town, two houses away from the ferry dock in the quiet area of Bocas Town. From the airport you can take a taxi or a 10 minute walk to our house. Exit straight out of the airport gate and continue walking down the street. When you reach 4th street turn right and walk until the street ends. At that point you are directly in front of Casa Verde. From the water taxi stations simply turn left and follow main street until it curves to the right at the ferry dock. Casa Verde is the 2nd house on the left. We are a 3 minute walk from Bocas Marine Tours and a 5 minute walk from Taxi 25. You may also ask us to meet you at either the airport or the taxi stations and we will be happy to accomodate you.

2  Want to spend the night in jail? my friend and i spent almost two weeks at casa verde before moving out one day after watching the owner try to send a nice german lady to jail for absolutely no reason. she was accosted by a drunk employee, then accused of destroying property which upon subsequent investigation was determined to be undamaged. the owner called the policia turisto and demanded she pay $150 for the property. when she refused to pay the policia threatened to take her to jail. only go to casa verde if you are alright with the idea of spending your night in the local jail cell. and beware the 18" bowie knife owner chester kroeger carries under his shirt on his righthand side!!!!!!!!!!!  , USA ()
3  Ok but overpriced i really liked the waterfront side and the deck, but $30 for a smelly double room with a dirty fridge and no working a/c is way too much! fortunately we didnt have to pay it all after complaining. adding up the upper toilet really had a bad urine-smell the whole time we were there. there was a tour offered to us, which then we got somewhere else for much cheaper. no good deal there. casa verde is not too bad, and has its own charm, especially when you lie in the hammock by the water, but its not how it is sold on the website and how i said its too expensive for what it is.  ()
5  Nice place, great location This was a great place to stay. I enjoyed cooking in the large kitchen and eating dinner out on the dock. Because it's at the end of town, it was quiet at night and felt safe. The twin room was great for $15 and I'll stay here again.  , USA ()
5  Top notch concept and accommodations I always ask people, Do you want to stay and sleep where the party is, or do you want to sleep well and go visit the party? I work in the Panama hostel industry, and these guys have rapidly earned their place in the Cheap Panama Vacation Top five Cheap Accommodations. My criteria for judging -- I can sleep, I can work, I can party, I can save money and cook well, Privacy and safety, People who really care and who are competent, Staff who know what I want and make it easy to get. I'm coming up on thirty soon, and frankly, though I enjoy visiting the hostels that are packed with young travelers beer and women, I don't want to sleep in these places. Where do you go if you want the best overall hostel in Bocas? You go to Casa Verde, book in advance, bring friends so you can easily afford to go on private customizable tours, and ask for Juan or Ellen to hook you up with all the gear and bike rentals, scuba shops, restaurants, tours.  , Texas ()
