Beautiful Location
this place is absolutely beautiful. we rented 3 of the 4 villas and really enjoyed swimming from house to house to visit. The two property caretakers are easy to get ahold of and and got us to and from bocas town pretty easily. better if you speak a little spanish, but they did fine with our english only friends too. It's important to understand what you're getting here though. this place is right near a jungle, and over the water far from town. there will be bugs, and we had a few bats fly into our room. this wasn't a problem for us, but if you're expecting a pristine up scale hotel experience, this probably isn't it.

Beautiful setting but the house is in need of some repairs, we had no water to the toilet at first plus the water smelled bad, no mosquito net for the bed, we got eaten up by bugs. The boat ride to town is $25 EACH WAY! No microwave only a cook stove. The place needs to be upgraded a bit. Glad we went but wouldn't stay here again.

Wonderful stay among the sloths, sting rays and pelicans!
We had such a great stay at the Bocas Villas! My husband and I spent a week of our honeymoon there and it was absolutely beautiful. Kris and Faubion (the on-site managers of the property) made our stay even more special by welcoming us and being open to every question and/or request. The location is definitely more for people who want to enjoy the tranquility and natural beauty of Bocas as the property is located out of town and primarily accessible by their private boat taxi. We would definitely stay again!

Great location and good facilities. Fab and Kris are property managers on the premises. They were very friendly, accommodating and efficient. Great communication. If you want to be in Bocas on the water, this is great.

Awesome & peaceful getaway!
This was our first time staying in a villa over the water and it was an amazing experience. Booking was super easy & the owner Philip was quick to respond to questions. The managers Fab & Kris were super kind and helpful. The location is a short boat ride away from downtown Bocas, which is great because it offers seclusion. The home is a great size with a nice kitchen and large indoor and outdoor living area. We used the paddle board and kayak and swam around our place. It’s exactly what we were hoping for and truly met and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for peace, quiet and beautiful sunsets.

Great Place but misleading listing
Let me first say I enjoyed my stay. If you are looking for a quiet getaway this is it. The reef in front is amazing and great for snorkeling. In the listing, the location on the map is extremely off. This place is ONLY accessible by boat and a 20 min boat ride from Bocas Town at that. The listing also states that it sleeps 4. Well, not really. There is a queen sized bed in the bedroom, a couch and loveseat in the living area and a hammock and outdoor couch on the porch. So 2 adults can sleep comfortably the other 2 will need to wear a beekeepers suit to keep the mosquitos away if they sleep outside. There is also no parking or tv as the listing states. Also, after booking is when you are notified about the cost of the boat ride and food service at the villas. That wasn't a deal killer obviously but it would have been nice to know before hand. With all of that being said, I would stay here again.

March 2019 Peaceful Vacation
March 2019. Communication was excellent, immediate and accurate (despite the owner was in a different country with his wife having a baby), his immediate responses were very appreciated as it was our only initial way to communicate for the pick up. Boat service to and from rental was 10 minutes and flexible. Manager on site cooked us two very good meals (one was lobster and we watched the fisherman catch them out out bit and bring them in), the other was fresh tuna which we bought in town and he cooked for us. The prices were very reasonable for what you get. The rental is spacious, very comfortable, clean and loved the covered deck and hammock, this space has everything you need. We had access to paddle boards, and a two person kayak. The internet was in and out but you could locate a good spot near the window to send texts and emails. The linens were in good condition and enough for two people (we stayed 4 nights/5 days). The view is incredible. There is a reef literally right off the deck, we saw lots of small fish, a 4ft barracuda right off the deck, eagle rays each day and heard the monkeys in the forest behind us, bring your snorkelling gear well worth the extra luggage. We were very lucky that there was no one in the rentals on either side of us so we felt completely private. The accuracy of the rental is 5 star.

Gorgeous location & clear water surrounds the villas.
We stayed 4 nights in 2 of the villas (4 adults total) at the beginning of March 2019. We were lucky to stay while David & Kilga were managing the villas. They were fantastic hosts! There is a boat on premises for trips to town. The dock that Philip currently uses is very hard to find, especially when you are first arriving to Bocas with your luggage. My advice is to make certain you know where to meet that first time. The villas are not overly fancy, but if you are looking for a serene location to relax and especially snorkel, this is the place for you! We were very sad to leave and hope to return one day. David made our last night very special by preparing a meal for the 4 of us and delivering it to our deck! The sunsets at the villas are spectacular and we loved waking up seeing the mountains and cloud forest in the distance. We may have had a few hiccups at the beginning, but Phillip and David were extremely professional and made our stay wonderful.
