Split Hill Island hotel guide. Independent hotel in Split Hill Island, Tierra Oscura

"We had an amazing stay at Coral Bay Bungalows. The setting is absolutely stunning – waking up over the water, with nothing but the sound of the sea and the jungle around you, feels like a dream. The bungalows are beautifully designed, very comfortable, and you can tell a lot of care went into every detail. What really sets this place apart is the hospitality. The team (and owners) are incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure you have a great experience. From helping arrange boat transfers and activities to sharing local tips, we always felt very well taken care of. Breakfast was delicious every morning, and having easy access to the water for kayaking and paddleboarding right from the property was a huge plus. If you are looking for a peaceful, intimate, and special place to stay in Bocas del Toro, we can’t recommend Coral Bay Bungalows enough. We left already talking about when we might come back. ❤️"

"I have never stayed in a place like this - it was so unique! Walking along the pier to the cabin is a treat. Lots of unique fish and colorful plants. And it is even better at night. We saw sea stars, neons, angel fish, barracuda, and a lot more. The cabin itself is both rustic and comfortable, which is hard to do. The two balconies offer amazing views of the bay. You can easily walk to a couple of places on the isthmus. It's about a 20 minute walk to the heart of Bocas town, or an easy cab ride that should cost about $1 per person.The staff were extremely nice. We enjoyed this very much."
