Beachfront holiday rentals in Bocas del Toro

The jungle tree house was just what we imagined it would be and more. Peaceful, quaint and just the right size for our family of 3. Being surrounded by monkeys swinging in the trees and tropical birds signing in the distance was almost surreal. Katarina was an amazing host. Very attentive, proactive, and a pleasure to communicate with. She went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met and helped us craft some unforgettable experiences while in Bocas del Toro. We highly recommend this accommodation!

This is one of the top places I have ever stayed in my life. What a privilege it was to stay and be so immersed in nature. while it is isolated, that was exactly what we were looking for. there is incredible Coral right in front of the dock, and dozens of the giant starfish that people pay to see on tour. Off-Grid, quiet, beautiful, a nature lovers dream. honestly I can't wait to get back. Rodney was incredibly communicative beforehand helping us decide what to pack + what to make sure we bought before arrival. he arranges your transport from Bocas to his beautiful house and back which is a huge bonus. he also provides potable water. Kind and attentive hosts, they really made us feel at home + appreciated. if you love nature, amphibians, the birds, and of course snorkeling, and you're okay with skipping The nightlife then this is the place for you!

Magical Beautiful beach front property with everything you need to have a wonderful stay. The house itself is very fresh specially at night. The view is fantastic and the beach is so nice, just a few steps away. Well equipped kitchen. Just be aware of chitras. You cannot escape but you can come prepared. Nothing is too much. You are so close to Isla colon that it is not a big deal to take a boat anytime. If you looking for privacy this is the place for you 🤙

The house is very nice, and is located right between the greenery, with great view of the jungle on one side and the coast by the front. It is small, although suitable for two people. The toilet is located right against the bed so there is not much privacy when using it

Like every other review this place is incredible. We didn’t want to leave! Our tips would be - take more cash than you think you’ll need and a little more food than you think you’ll need. 😆 we ate at the restaurant one evening which was lovely and their chef is amazing but otherwise it was easy to fend for ourselves in the incredible setting. Touring the community is amazing (take your bug spray!) and the other outings were equally as memorable. We also toured the cacao farm in Dolphin Bay which was great! We were there with our twin boys who are 7 and not a moment of boredom! The house kitty was adorable and the boys named her Tinta (Valimir said she didn’t have a name yet so was happy she got one 😆) The boys are ready to go back!

It feels like a treehouse in the jungle with the sounds of the wildlife and ocean waves in the background. Gloria’s house is not only beautiful but a very peaceful place to stay, incredibly relaxing. There is a bar on the beach and a few restaurants nearby, definitely recommend The Hummingbird for food. There are also two good swimming spots that you can get to after a walk through the jungle and along the beach; La Piscina and the Blue Lagoon. Maybe take a picnic and make an afternoon of it? The house is about 20 minutes from town so it’s a good idea to get some supplies when you first arrive before heading there. Gloria was a great host and Will, the chap who takes care of the house, was also great and they both speak Spanish and English. You’ll be in good hands here. Best of all, how wonderful to wake up in the morning and discover that you are having breakfast with monkeys, eating bananas from a tree right next to you. This is a special place that I shall not forget.

It is by far our favorite place we stayed in Panama. The view is absolutely amazing, every evening we saw beautiful sunsets. You are surrounded by a beautiful garden with lots of birds what sing every morning. You definitely don’t need an alarm. The room was even bigger than we expected. Jeovana and his husband were very helpful and friendly. Very good price for the laundry!!

Our host was very helpful. it was a perfect location for our group. the view from the large deck/outdoor seating area was beautiful. kitchen is very large and well equipped. rooms were comfortable and clean. all this and over the water. I recommend this place %100.

The apartment is a rare find in Bocas, fully equipped, AC in the living room/kitchen, it has everything you might need, very comfortable, Raúl is an excellent host, thanks for letting us stay at your place.

This place was amazing, best Airbnb we’ve stayed in 10 meters away from the beach, hosts were always responsive and very helpful it is paradise.

Great accommodation very cozy and cute. Beautiful sea view from the bedroom, pool and restaurant. The hosts are super welcoming and offer to help with excursions or otherwise. Very nice. Breakfast included is a big plus. The only small "minus" would be to be able to swim directly from the accommodation and have to walk to find a nice beach. Same for restaurants, few options nearby. In short, great and we recommend

What the hosts have created is a marvel of artistry and craftsmanship. The pictures do not capture the true magic of the place. From the beautiful gardens to the handcrafted furniture with simple and elegant attention to details. Far beyond our expectations. The hosts are kind, gracious and most welcoming. It’s a slice of heaven on earth.

We had an incredible stay at Skully's hotel! This oceanfront oasis was a unique and special getaway, just 10 minutes outside of town. Our room was oceanfront, and it was such a treat to fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves. The beds were super comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. Skully and Rhonda, and the staff were absolutely wonderful. They made us feel right at home, as did the locals, like Robbie, who often hung out at the lively bar. There were fun activities daily, making the place feel vibrant and full of life, a welcoming community vibe. We loved exploring the area and enjoyed some of the on-site restaurants. The BBQ place was a standout, and we also enjoyed the pizza and breakfast options. However, I wouldn’t recommend Ohana down the road the view was nice, but the food and service didn’t quite match up. For a great dining experience, try Masana, It was fantastic! Thank you to everyone at Skully’s for making our stay so memorable, you're much appreciated!

The Jungle House at Playa Bluff was a great getaway destination for our 2 families, with 4 adults and 6 children, ages 4-11. The pool was great and the sleeping arrangements worked well for us. There is a decent kitchen, but we mostly ate at nearby restaurants or on our daily adventures. The house is about a 25 min taxi ride from the main town and the road can get soupy, but any of the truck taxis can easily get to the house. The beach is stunning, although not great for swimming with rip tides and currents. The host was super responsive to all questions and I would highly recommend this house. We even saw sloths and monkeys right around the house.

Tropical Suite is THE place to be! From the moment we arrived, we felt like part of the fam. The food? OMG, so freaking good! Fresh seafood, killer cocktails—total flavor explosion! And the service? A+. They're like mind readers, always one step ahead. Plus, the room? Cozy and cute, with very nice views. But who needs a room when you've got a pool right on the sea? Yep, amazing pool-bar just downstairs. And the location? Prime time. Beach, rainforest, cute villages—all within reach. Seriously, if you're after a slice of paradise, Tropical Suite is it. Already planning our next vacay here!

6 out of 5 stars for this place! After living in Bocas for more than 6 years & staying at Vidan"s and Al's Place for several months last year, I can say this is one of the most beautiful places to stay in the archipelago. The villa is located right on the sea and their is no direct neighbours or any kind of noise disturbing your peace. The location comes with a wonderful sea breeze, hence no need for A/C. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the BBQ at the terrace invites for hangouts and cooking sessions. If you want to eat out its about 20min walk down to some beach bars in Drago and with a rental car from Bocas town all is easy accessable within 20min . I can only recommend staying here and will be back later this year for sure! Vidan and Ali are wonderful hosts and a local caretaker living close by will assist with anything that needs help here. Great snorkellng right down at the private beach and there is a very swimmable 1km sand beach some 5min walk away. Love it!

Nice place to stay on Bastimentos, very centrally located with a good selection of restaurants nearby. The house is comfortable and it was wonderful having air conditioning as it is hot and humid in Old Bank. A couple of things to note. There about 10 stairs you need to go up to get to the home, they are uneven and large stairs so if you have mobility issues that is something to consider. As noted in the add there is not hot water and the toilet slants quite a bit to the left, these things were fine for us and not a problem but it's something to be aware of. It rained every day that we were there which didn't leave much to do in the town or by boat, it's a very small village. We only saw a couple of other tourists our entire time there (first week of May) so if you are looking to be social this may not be a great choice, but if you want to emerse yourself in local life this is an excellent place to stay. We found Old Bank a little sleepy and run down for us at this time of year.

I’ve stayed in at least 49 Air Bnbs, and Denis’ place is number 1! It was the perfect place for me and my husband to spend a blissful week. Highlights: Geraldine’s cooking was over-the- top delicious! We loved them all, breakfast, lunch and dinners. The taste and presentation was world class. The cocktails were unique and yummy. We especially loved the peanut punch. Her meals were so nutritious that we left healthier and happier. The food was locally sourced or caught by Denis Denis’ Dolphin Bay tour was great and we loved the snorkeling. We saw a giant sting ray! We enjoyed the variety of birds around the eco lodge. We also took a tour to the Nöbä indigenous cacao plantation. Very interesting and a wonderful lunch. And we also did the dolphin and sloth tour and had great sightings of both. So much to do, and also just a great place to stay and relax. On our last day we kayaked and snorkeled from the eco lodge. Before we left they gave great advice on Panama City.

Wonderful cabin in the jungle and with ocean views from the entire house. It has a private dock where you can sunbathe and bathe in crystal clear water with a view of the jungle and the bay. Elena is an excellent host, she gave us a lot of information on what to do and how to move on the island, as well as inviting us to a yoga class directed by her in a beautiful place. We had an amazing time, we would definitely stay there again.

The place is beautiful, the view is amazing. You fall asleep and wake up listening to the sea. We always spoke to Nadia, who communicated with us a few days of our stay indicating everything and received us in the best way: she helped us by booking a taxi that waited for us at the airport and we arrived at the house without inconvenience. It is a little far from the center, the taxi costs 15 usd but for us it was the best location, the landscape and the tranquility is incomparable, and only 10 minutes walking is the Bluff beach, beautiful. Meters from the house, Nadia and her husband have a restaurant that serves breakfast and dinner. We went 3 nights and always ate amazing. Highly recommended!! Thank you Nadia for your attention and always good predisposition! We would definitely come back.

Amazing Stay at KoKo Waterfront Bungalow! We booked this bungalow last minute after hours, and the host went above and beyond to accommodate us, meeting us for check-in and making sure we had everything we needed. The house was spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and incredibly comfortable—a perfect getaway right on the water. The peaceful atmosphere and stunning views made our stay even more special. We truly appreciate the hospitality and will definitely stay here again! Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a relaxing and hassle-free stay.

Melanie was knowledgeable as was her caretaker Kathleen. They were helpful and had lots of recommendations.Great neighbors too! Truly, her little slice of paradise.

We had such a great stay at Marketa & Ryan’s cabin. From the moment they picked us up, we felt genuinely welcomed. Definitely take them up on that offer—it’s a beautiful drive and a great way to settle in. The cabin is beautiful surrounded by jungle but just a short walk from the beach, bars, and restaurants. On our last day, a family of monkeys visited and played in the trees next to us—such a magical moment! Tip: stock up on breakfast supplies, snacks, and drinks in town (no need to bring water—they’ve got a big dispenser for guests). There aren’t any shops nearby, but the local restaurants are great. The area has so much to offer—surfing, snorkeling, biking, ATV tours, dolphin watching… You won’t be short of adventures. We spent our days exploring and loved returning to the cabin each evening. It’s super comfy, with a cozy bed, hot shower, soft towels, and a perfect jungle breeze (plus a fan) that kept us cool at night. They have created something really special here—we loved it!

My fiance and I stayed here 2 nights. These bungalows are absolutely incredible. This is the kind of place you can just post up on the sun deck all day and simply relax without a care in the world. It’s on Isla Solarte; very easy and quick to access from main Bocas town, but much more clean and peaceful. Drew and his staff were very attentive, and made great breakfast and cooked incredible 3 course dinners onsite. We had access to the paddle boards, kayaks, and snorkel gear that we could utilize right off our deck. Bliss! The bungalow itself is perfect too, very clean, and truly allowed us to unwind. This place is truly stunning and you cannot go wrong by staying here. We are recommending to family and friends and would love to stay here again next time we’re in Bocas. 10/10 all the way.
