"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unforgettable Anniversary at Nayara Bocas del Toro We recently celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary at Nayara Bocas del Toro, and our experience was nothing short of unbelievable. Having traveled all over the world—including the Maldives, which we thought would be impossible to beat—we can now say with confidence this is our number one destination. The service and food were by far the best we have ever had in our lives. The property is spotless, stunning, and so peaceful that it instantly puts you at ease. On the day of our anniversary, the staff went above and beyond to make it truly unforgettable, and we will cherish those memories forever. The dolphin sunset tour is an absolute must—it was magical and one of the highlights of our trip. We loved our stay so much that I actually cried when it was time to leave. We’re already looking forward to returning for our 11th anniversary. If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, this is the place."

"A perfect combination of private accommodations with access to a personal captain to travel to some of the amazing places the area has to offer. Plenty of wildlife including: Dolphins, starfish, sloths, monkeys, geckos, many types of fish and birds. Access to the kayaks and paddleboards was great too. Amazing how calm the water was a certain times of the day. "

"This was my family’s first trip to Bocas and this property was the main reason I wanted to visit this area of Panama. My husband, adult kids and their partners stayed at the property for a week and it was amazing, despite the rainy weather. The house was setup perfectly with 2 upstairs bedrooms and a shared bath. Downstairs there was a bedroom and bath that also opened into the main living area. The property is very remote but it’s worth the trip. We loved being on the calm Caribbean side of the ocean with access to snorkeling, paddle boarding and kayaking right out our front door. We also loved access to the hiking trails at the back of the property where we saw many sloths, howler monkeys, birds and other wildlife. My husband and I spent a night in the treehouse and got to wake up to the jungle coming alive at daybreak. The hosts were great and we took advantage of Jose’s culinary skills when he made us the best meal of our trip for dinner. We had in home massages and we visited the bat cave. We also spent the only sunny day we had at starfish beach. Another very cool part of the trip was the on property caretaker’s 2 dogs. They were so sweet and kept us company and safe. We also met some neighbor dogs while out hiking that walked with us. It truly was magical and I would definitely go back to Panama. Brush up on your Spanish, as while most locals speak a little English knowing a little Spanish is definitely helpful. "
