Bocas Villas in Bocas del Toro is an excellent place to stay while visiting the Bocas del Toro area. The individual casitas (apartments) all sit over the water and you dive from your deck directly over the reef. With deck over the water, a stocked kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom it has all the comforts you need for a... More

We came to Bocas Villas for the first part of our honeymoon and it was perfect!!!! It is absolutely beautiful both inside and out. The house inside is simply and tastefully decorated with everything you need. There is a kitchen with the bare necessities but enough that we were able to cook delicious lobsters (thanks Phillip!) and breakfasts. There are... More

We (2 couples) stayed here Feb 25-28/12 and thoughly enjoyed it. We found Philip to be a great and nonintrusive host. He was available for any questions and is very informative. The location is very quiet so you can lay back and relax while you feel the stress leave your body. Snorkling and swimming when you want and as often... More

We are puzzled by some of the comments made by visitors to Bocas Villas. Our experience was anything but unpleasant. We stayed at Bocas Villas over Christmas week and it was our first visit to Panama. We came to Panama for a family member's wedding and we chose to stay in a different location than the rest of the guests... More

My girlfriend and I stayed here for three nights over Christmas last year. The location and houses themselves are just wonderful. Reading some of the reviews it seems odd to nme that people were diappointed that they weren't getting a "hotel experience". The reason we chose Bocas Villas was becuase it wasn't a hotel. There are four houses that can... More

The villa was truly beyond any of our expectations. Without a doubt this stay made the trip unforgettable. The location enabled us to take in the town of bocas del toro while providing us our own space from the crowds. The views from throughout the villa were breathtaking. The owner was great, helpful with recommendations, and really down to earth.... More

We just got back from 4 nights at Bocas Villa in December. This place is not 'luxury' as stated on the website. Its more like camping for $180/night if that's your thing. You'll get one towel for the week and there isn't much else inside each hut. There are AC units in each hut ,but you are forbidden (he hides... More

Despite my age I have an almost savant-like ability to describe our vacation rentals and services: “this is a rental villa with an open floor plan, built over the water along a Caribbean reef with great views over the bay of the mainland mountains and beautiful sunsets. We include airport pick-up and a roundtrip shuttle to town twice per day.”... More

I can just try to describe as objectively as I can what little contact I had with this people. I had four interactions with them while they were here: 1. The first was to welcome them when they arrived and I explained (as I do with everyone) that they have rented a solar powered villa and they need to do... More

As a short term rental property, this is a nice place. As a hotel, it's about as nice as staying home. You are ONLY renting the house. It comes with a few rough scraps of kitchenware, bedding (2 sheets, pillows) and a couple of towels. They do serve breakfast when the owners girlfriend is about and they do have shuttles... More

Bocas Villas is the perfect location to get away from it all, but yet still take advantage of the vibrant community of Bocas Town, which is just 7 or 8 minutes away by boat. Each day, there is a morning boat trip into Bocas Town, and another in the evening so you can enjoy dinner and drinks at a wide... More
