In a private room each guest pays the shared-room rate — a private room fits one or two people for the same total, so a couple pays the same as booking two shared spots. Solo travellers can book a private room at the private rate.

Things to do nearby
Bocas del Toro is Panama's laid-back Caribbean coliving base - cheap living, boat-only inter-island travel, reliable surf and diving, and a long-running expat and backpacker scene that's easy to plug into.
Bocas Town (Isla Colón) — main hub, restaurants and bars, most expensive
Isla Carenero — quieter, short water taxi ride, no roads, beach paths only
Isla Bastimentos — laid-back, cheapest, further out, still reachable by water taxi
Getting around
Water taxis connect the islands and are the main way to get around; walkable within each island's town; flying from Panama City is about 1 hour, overland plus boat takes most of a day.
