Holiday rentals with a pool in Isla Bastimentos

Absolutely loved my stay here! The surroundings were stunning—peaceful, scenic, and the perfect escape from the city. There was plenty of space to relax, both indoors and out, with cozy spots to hang out and unwind. The boat dock was a real highlight—perfect for morning coffee or just soaking in the view. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully set up for guests. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommend!

Communication with Katherine started before we even left the states! She sent information on things to do locally and asked if there was anything we preferred that they can stock the Airbnb with in advance. When we flew in to Bocas del Toro, Katherine had already arranged for our transportation to the Airbnb. There is a local restaurant right across the street, but she gave the option for us to have breakfast at their place any day we wanted with adequate notice. Each morning we had coffee that was provided for in the room, and she would bring down warm milk with honey and pastries. Unexpectedly, we saw the cutest little sloth in the tree just outside our bedroom doors! Katherine and Neil provided the best local recommendations for anything we wanted to eat or do! Close to our last evening there we had asked for our laundry service. She collected it and had it completed before we got home from the day! This little island was so beautiful with lots to do! You were the best hosts!!!

From start to finish we had an incredible stay at Coral Bay. The location is beautiful and the accommodation is just perfect. Alfred kindly organised our airport transfer and also a day trip to go snorkelling and sloth spotting! We left feeling so well looked after, Alfred and his team really cared that we had a fantastic trip. It’s very overwhelming deciding which island / accommodation to go for in Bocas Del Toro, but I can promise you nothing will beat Coral Bay!

We really enjoyed Ron's place. Everyone there was extremely helpful. The property manager, Augusto was extremely helpful in setting up anything we wanted to do. Breakfast was prepared for us by Augusto's wife each morning, and she is a great cook. The pictures do not do the property justice. It is spacious and spotless. Each day while we were out seeing the island, the house was cleaned and our laundry was done for us. The pool is perfect. Bluff beach is by far the prettiest beach on the island, there is no need to go anywhere else if you just want to lounge on the beach. There are local restaurants within walking distance. Be advised, you will need to take taxis to other attractions on the island. Roundtrip taxi to and from town is around $45-$50. That said, I will gladly pay the taxi fee to stay at a place outside all the noise of Bocas Town, especially one as nice as this one. If you are looking for peace and quiet, and a beach all to yourself, this is the place to stay.

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!

Olivia’s place is as amazing as she is! She was so helpful, friendly and very responsive. The house is perfect for viewing wildlife - we saw sloths every day in the trees in the yard! Walkable to many places to eat and explore or relax at the beach. The house is off grid so we had power and hot water even when our friends nearby didn’t. Great WiFi, fully stocked kitchen. We even enjoyed refilling the hummingbird feeder on the porch to watch them constantly come and go! Helpful info: It’s about a $20ish taxi to get to town depending on number of people from the house or you can take a little bus that leaves from Bom Bom.

My family had an amazing stay at Michel's home (2 adults, 2 kids under 10yo). The house is right on the water with beautiful beaches and snorkeling just meters away. The arrival logistics were easy: We were picked up at the airport and driven straight to the office. Did some quick grocery shopping, grabbed a bite to eat, and then got on the boat to Al Natural. The resort area was great for kids since the water is fairly shallow off the beach and protected from big waves. We particularly appreciated: Readily available gear (paddle boards, ping pong, snorkeling gear, etc.). Amazing, large porch for relaxing. Ability to easily book excursions and transport (chocolate farm, scuba, bat caves, etc.). Cooking at the house or signing up for delicious meals at the main resort building. Kind staff that were welcoming to our kids. My only recommendation is bringing enough cash for excursions. We didn't plan it out well enough and were down to our last balboa/dollar at the end.

Lina was a spectacular host, she did not lose detail in helping us with any queries made, she responded immediately and was attentive to all our needs. Regarding the place is the same as the photographs, spacious, clean, tidy, had what you need for a vacation exploring the area, the pool is the ideal size for the place. I would come back again without thinking twice !!!!
