Our New Arboloco
Bocas Bush Bungalows
Arboloco is proud to present our newest creative endeavor. The first two of four Arboloco Bocas Bush Bungalows are now complete.
Fresh & Local
To us nature is important. We grow what we can organically, and try to source local to support our Bocas del Toro community.
Seafood is our passion, freshness is our mission, and quality is our commitment.
our mission
Food & nature are the foundations of true happiness.
We have created Arboloco to honor these ideals, in an explosion of creativity. From the moment you arrive, your senses will be delighted and your heart will be filled.
Our Menu
The best of local produce, fish, seafood, veggies and meats make our food fantastic. Our secret, however, is that we honor traditional Afro-Carribean cooking styles by roasting all of our food over natural charcoal.
Come and make your stomach happy!

our 5-course dinners
While tasting menus have made a comeback, our 5-course dinner is something different.
Giving guests the chance to pre-select exactly what they wish for, this is a big meal for a special evening. Pre-selected with a minimum of 24-hours prior, from a list of seasonal, Caribbean recipes. Includes toasted handmade bread with choice of spreads, soup or salad, starter, main and dessert. These are full courses, not a bit of something you weren’t looking forward to biting.
