LOCATION
We are located in the Bocas del Toro province of the Republic of Panamá. Our hotel can be found on Isla Carenero, just in front of Isla Colón, the main island of the archipelago (home to the Airport, Ferry Dock, as well as landing for boats from the mainland, Almirante & Changuinola. 'Bocas Town' is less than a two minute boat ride away.
Our hotel is one of very few with rooms right on the beach. Our location is perfect...less than two minutes by boat from Bocas town and its shops, restaurants, and nightlife. However, we're just far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet.
Once you arrive on Isla Colon, take a taxi or walk to Jampan Water Taxi (on Calle Segunda, next to the Iguana Bar). Tell them you'd like to go to the Hotel Doña Mara. As simple as that.
