Jonathan and I were looking for one thing in a hotel when we decided to go to Bocas. Air Conditioning. Hotel Angela had it, and was located right on the water, so we booked a few nights there.

Hotel Angela is a little bit off the beaten path (as far as downtown Bocas is), and it is a really nice place to stay.

At first we were given (at our request), room 1 with 2 single beds. Jonathan and I don’t mind sleeping in separate twin beds, and we thought we’d be able to push them together. When we got there, however, we soon discovered that that wouldn’t be possible. The room was barely big enough for the two beds and our two suitcases.

After one night in that room, Claudio (the owner), offered that we could move to a bigger room. He gave us room 4 which has two double beds in it. It still has air conditioning, so we took advantage of the room. I highly recommend that you request room 4 when you go to Hotel Angela. It’s further back from the office, and the room and bathroom are both large and very comfortable.

Hotel Angela, like I said, is built right next to the water. The restaurant in the back of the hotel is actually a dock. It’s really fantastic to get to sit on the water and drink a beer at the end of the day, or enjoy breakfast there as well. Breakfast is included in the price of the hotel, and it was a nice breakfast of coffee, eggs, and fruit.

Claudio is a wonderful man, and we really enjoyed getting to know him during our stay at Hotel Angela. (In fact, we liked him and Hotel Angela, and Bocas so much that we kept extending our stay.)
