How To Get to Casa Serenity By The Sea?
TO GET TO BOCAS DEL TORO: USE AIR PANAMA!!! It will be cheaper! And these days you can get to Bocas in ONE DAY if you PLAN IT CORRECTLY! (You will need to leave early in the am from your US point of origin and then book the latest flight into Bocas del Toro (BOC) in order to achieve this.)
Your first destination in Panama is PTY. PTY (Tocumen International Airport) is Panama City's main and largest airport. You will collect your bags and go through customs here. Then...get a taxi to PAC (Albrook Gelabert Airport) about 40mins away. This is a much smaller airport. The landing strip at BOC (Bocas del Toro Airport) is small, so the planes that land there are smallish too. Have fun landing right by the water!!!
From the Bocas Airport you can either walk to the BASTIMENTOS DOCK, or catch a cab there.
You may want to stop and get cash out at the Bank next to the Airport! The Boat Taxi's are $5 each way and many places on Isla Bastimentos are Cash-Only! After that you are headed to the BASTIMENTOS DOCK. There are various sized markets along the way and some are right across from the docks if you want to get some groceries/provisions, but there are also a few mercados on Basti as well (they are just much smaller). Near the dock lots of people will be asking you if you want to schedule a boat trip or a hundred other things. It's up to you whether or not you want to do this or not. But if you say "maybe later", they will try to schedule that later right then. Be nice! It's their livelihood! Jump in a PANGA BOAT headed to Bastimentos, pay your $5, and tell the driver you are headed to the MAIN DOCK (about 7mins away).
From the Bastimentos Dock in Bocas Town, it's about a 7min boat ride to the Main Dock in Bastimentos.
From the MAIN DOCK in BASTIMENTOS, take a Left down the walking Path towards the point. Follow the signs to Firefly, Reggae Bites, and Casa Serenity By The Sea.
Follow the walking path.
You will Take a Right toward Oceanside on the concrete path before you get to the end of the Main Thoroughfare. Continue down the smaller path until you reach the water.
Follow the walking path.
Take a RIGHT and continue along the Caribbean Sea. Once you pass The Firefly, it's only two more doors down. The next structure you get to is "Bamboo Wave". We are right next door. If you get to Reggae Bites/Birdsong Villa you've gone too far!
Welcome to Casa Serenity By The Sea! You made it!!
Follow The Signs!
