Deluxe Air Conditioned Cabanas:
Each cabana features a spacious tiled interior with French doors opening to a large, covered elevated porch area.  They each have a large bathroom with a walk-in shower, a full size water heater and an air conditioner.  Two have king size beds, three have queen size orthopedic beds and four have two double orthopedic beds.  Each cabana is tastefully and comfortably appointed with locally handcrafted furniture.

Children of any age are welcome. We find that children five years and older get the most out of a stay. Children under five will require more parental supervision given our location.

We will accept individual travelers in cabanas when we have availability during High Season and Green Season. We cannot accommodate single travelers during Holiday Season. The single occupancy charge is the total per night for one person in a unit.

We appreciate that people who want to travel may have concerns about the unknowns associated with doing so post COVID-19. We also do not know how everything will unfold. To make it easier for you in the post-COVID-19 business environment, we have changed our payment and cancellation policies for reservations made from September 15, 2020, onward.

Going forward, guests make a deposit for each person in their party to finalize their reservation. Then, ninety days before the reservation start date, the next payment is due. It is 30% of the total amount for the stay. Thirty days prior to the reservation start date, the remainder of the stay is due. This payment is the total stay amount less the previous deposits.

Payments must be made when due or the reservation will be canceled. All payments made are non-refundable; however, all amounts paid may be used towards a future stay within 36 months from the original travel date.

We suggest that guests schedule a morning or mid-day departure. All of the hotels in Bocas del Toro are fully booked during the peak of the holiday season. Thus when there are any travel delays it is challenging to address them following a scheduled evening departure. For more information, contact us.

Taxes are in addition to package price.
The blended tax rate runs about 7.5% of the daily package price.
Cabana Stay is taxed at 10%. All other services are taxed at 7%.

Rates are based upon a morning arrival and departure or an afternoon arrival and departure. If you book a morning arrival and an afternoon departure you will pay a $100 fee plus taxes for your additional day onsite for each adult in your party. Children will be charged a $50 feel plus taxes for this additional day.

Panama City Stay:
Tranquilo Bay may arrange reservations for you at one of a number of hotels in Panama City if your travel plans require a stay in Panama City.  Tranquilo Bay has had to implement a slight charge for this service as Panama City is very busy which often makes finding a room difficult and requires reconfirmation by Tranquilo Bay to ensure you have your room upon arrival in Panama City. We do require that you confirm these reservations with your credit card.
