Azul Paradise has a distinct aesthetic, blending contemporary design with a boutique twist. It’s located in the seaside town of Bocas del Toro, but it has a private dock where you can take convenient trips to a private beach in Isla Bastimentos, allowing you to experience the best of both worlds in the Panamanian archipelago.

Fishing, scuba diving, and snorkeling are some of the most popular activities in the area, and the clear water right outside of the hotel will make you want to jump right in. It’s easy to get from Azul Paradise to some of the other nearby islands, like Cayo Zapatilla, an island with where you can snorkel around a thriving coral. On a trip to Isla Bastimentos, you can take advantage of tours that allow you to explore the rainforest canopy on a zip line tour. When you visit the rainforest, you’ll have the chance to see bright red frogs and white-faced capuchin monkeys.

Azul Paradise offers a total of 13 rooms that offer a pleasant view of the surrounding town. Rooms get good natural lighting and the colors combine neutral shades and tropical blues. All of the rooms are air-conditioned and Wi-Fi is available throughout the resort. Perhaps best of all, you can order massages in the comfort of your own room.

You can sample dishes from the hotel’s inspired menu. They draw inspiration from different corners of the globe, and the meals here are designed to appeal to an international audience. There’s also a waterfront bar and lounge, as well as a nice selection of bars and restaurants within walking distance.
