Tropical Arts Resort on Carenero Island offers comfortable accommodation, excellent facilities, a peaceful setting and h
We had a really nice stay at Tropical Arts Resort on Carenero Island. We stayed in a one-bedroom apartment, which was more than suitable for our needs. The apartment was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed, including cooking facilities, although we mostly ate out as the restaurants on the island were very good. Karen gave us some great recommendations, and everything was within a short walk.
The island and location
We did the loop walk around the island on our first day, which took just under an hour and a half and was a lovely way to explore. There is also a small beach on the other side of the island, around a 20-minute walk away. The path was quite muddy after the rain, but it was still perfectly walkable, and the beach itself was really nice and completely empty when we visited.
The location is also really convenient for getting to Bocas del Toro. The water taxi is only around five minutes and costs $2 per person. We also took a water taxi to Wizard Beach and Red Frog Beach for $6 per person, which made for a great day out.
Facilities
The pool was a really good size and was a great place to relax. One of the biggest highlights for me personally was the gym. I used it every morning and was genuinely impressed with it. It is far better equipped than the typical hotel gym with a few outdated pieces of equipment. There was more than enough equipment for anyone who enjoys keeping active while on holiday.
The resort was also very quiet during our stay, which suited us really well. The property is currently undergoing renovations and having additional features added, so I can imagine it will be even more impressive once everything is completed. That said, the work didn’t negatively affect our stay at all — if anything, the quieter atmosphere was a bonus for us.
Staff and service
Karen met us when we arrived and was incredibly helpful throughout our stay.
Can’t fault it

Disappointing stay – no Wi-Fi, poor cleanliness and too many mosquitoes
Our experience at this hotel was quite disappointing and, honestly, we would not recommend it.
For two days we had no internet, which was particularly problematic because we needed to contact the water taxis to get around and find restaurants where we could eat, as the hotel does not have a restaurant. The small shop available at the property has very limited food options, and the prices are extremely high. When it rains, walking anywhere becomes practically impossible, so having a reliable internet connection to arrange transportation is essential.
The room also left a lot to be desired. It was full of insects and mosquitoes, and the room is not cleaned unless you stay for at least four nights. This meant that during our stay we had to keep the rubbish inside the room, which understandably made the mosquito problem even worse.
The owner was also not particularly friendly or welcoming towards us. We never felt that there was much interest in our experience or any real effort to make us feel comfortable; she simply did her job.
Overall, we feel that the value for money is not good enough and that several basic aspects of the hotel need significant improvement. We would not recommend this place and would not stay here again.

Son's BDay & Vacaciones entre amigos!
Infrastructure, Accommodation, Staff always willing to help.
Múltiple Stairs to our room, but that was the way to a nice view of the forest.
El apartamento está bien , tiene cocina completa , cama muy cómoda , AC en salón y habitación 1 no en la 2 por si vais 4 personas. El chico de recepción es un encanto , buena persona , siempre atento . Si buscas tranquilidad la isla es muy tranquila , piscina muy chula. Me dieron el apartamento cerámica 1 como consideración especial viaje de aniversario de boda
Pues no es culpa del hotel pero los mosquitos te matan , están en obras, no me ha molestado nada pero cuando tengan restaurante para tomar algo será genial. Y el mejor consejo que puedo dar si os quedáis en casa cerámica 1 quedaros en la parte de arriba a mí me tocó lo parte de abajo y tampoco es culpa del hotel pero arriba teníamos dos familias con al menos 6 niños saltando , corriendo ...y todo eso en la parte de abajo se oye increíble, fue horrible , esos niños no paraban y se oye demasiado, insisto no es culpa del hotel pero si yo supiera está información y por eso la dejo aquí PEDIR QUEDAROS ARRIBA! .

Bijzondere locatie: op een eiland waar alles te voet of met de watertaxi gaat. Midden in een regenwoud. Vriendelijk personeel, iedereen was behulpzaam.
Het complex was nog niet helemaal klaar. Naast het zwembad werd nog een appartement gebouwd. Zorgde niet voor overlast maar toch.

Tucked in the jungle, helpful staff.
The property is in a construction phase so lots of disruption along the walkways, access to pool and noisy at times. Also if weather is bad it’s hard to get to restaurants.
