Bocas del Toro is a great place to travel with your family. Children of all ages will find themselves entranced by the beauty of the ocean, the beaches and the rainforest. Once you determine you are going to travel to Bocas with your family, then there are a few things to consider based upon the age of your children.

How old are your children? The older children will be comfortable just about anywhere in Bocas. I would look for somewhere that they are going to either have serious interaction with nature or an opportunity to meet other children their age. The younger children are a bit more challenging. Before they are mobile they can stay anywhere that will have them. Once they are mobile then you need to be cautious with any establishment located directly on the water as it may present dangers you would rather avoid. Children who can swim and are somewhat independent would benefit from a place which has plenty of space for them to roam around uninhibited.

Some of the places to consider are as follows:

All ages: Tranquilo Bay eco adventure lodge

Older children: Casa Cayuco
Punta Caracol
La Loma - The Jungle Lodge

Birth to one year: anywhere within the archipelago that accepts children

One to four years: anywhere where children cannot directly access the water

Four years and up: La Coralina
Playa Mango
