All Inclusive Dining and Cocktails
“Food is symbolic of love when words are inadequate.” – Alan D. Wolfelt
At Nayara Bocas del Toro, we believe food brings people together on so many levels. Our meticulously crafted menu and daily specials are all made of the finest hand selected meats, seafood directly from the sea and fresh organic vegetables and ingredients. All food and premium beverages are included in your Nayara Bocas del Toro experience.
The Elephant House over-the-water dinner restaurant and The Coral Café feature dishes from around the world with an emphasis on seafood and a subtle touch of Panama. We also offer menu items inspired by local Bocas Del Toro cuisine. The elegant setting of our hundred-year-old Elephant House restaurant with its majestic wooden beams and constant sea breezes transport you to another world. The poolside Coral Café is a cheerful alfresco setting for a leisurely breakfast, lunch, and snacks.
