Sleeping : Bocas del Toro

Island hopping is easy in Bocas, and relatively affordable if you space it right. Depending on what you’re looking for, it makes sense to spend a night or two on each of the 3 main islands: Colon, Carenero, and Bastimentos. Colon is party central and if dancing and drinking ’til the sun comes up is what you want there are number of hostels on the islands to nap away the hangover. If you want to party on Colon and learn to surf in the afternoon, Carenero is your best bet. And then, if you’ve had enough and would like some true island flavor: Bastimentos should be where you should rest your weary head.

Or, try them all.
