Tranquilo Bay was built inside the rainforest overlooking the Caribbean Sea and the beautiful Panamanian Jungle. The hotel’s central location within the Archipelago of Bocas del Toro allows you to explore some of the most biologically diverse areas of Panama and Central America.
Bocas del Toro, Panama includes an archipelago of some 68 tropical islands which are excellent for beach combing, birding and exploring. Around the many reefs and lagoons, you may fish, snorkel and surf. There are also beautiful spots perfect for laying back and letting the cool ocean breeze wash over you.
The province of Bocas del Toro hosts two national parks, one of which is a world heritage site and two protected cloud forests. The trans-boundary protected area consists of 1.4 million contiguous acres, extending from the continental divide to the Caribbean Sea, covering all five altitudinal zones known to the tropics. One park, Bastimentos National Marine Park, covers a large portion of the archipelago and is home to a variety of ecosystems which thrive at or around sea level. The other park, Palo Seco Nature Reserve, is on the mainland and reaches through the cloud forests up to and beyond the continental divide.
Tranquilo Bay, the best Bocas del Toro hotel, is your home base to explore the islands and highlands of Western Panama. Hotel guests unpack, settle in and experience its unique tropical location. Tranquilo Bay provides you with six deluxe air-conditioned cabanas, beautiful views, eco-adventure activities, personal attention and fine cuisine.

Main Lodge
The Main Lodge is where meals and indoor recreational activities take place. The ocean view and elevation over the jungle canopy are incredible. The upstairs balcony is the perfect place to watch the sun rise with your morning coffee and the moon rise in the evening with a cold beverage. The monkeys and birds also travel through on their late afternoon feeding migration.
The interior of the main lodge building includes the dining room, the bar and an entertainment room which includes a television and a large book and video library.
On the second floor of the main lodge building a large porch wraps around two sides of the building giving you a bird’s eye view into the jungle and of the Caribbean beyond.
The view from the main lodge building is exquisite. The owners built the building itself up so that you would be in the tree tops looking out onto the property, the animals and the ocean. There is no better vantage point in Bocas del Toro for relaxing and taking in the view than the second floor of this building.
