The beach itself is only down a path, and you can see it and hear it from the home. I would highly recommend staying at this property, we had a great time!"

"Our stay was exceptional! The home itself is beautfully set in a very quiet and secluded gated community. There are spectacular unobstructed views of Playa Hermosa from numerous sitting areas on the property and direct beach access from the property as well! The pool was spectacular for cooling off and admiring the ocean views, sunsets, sunrises all while hearing many tropical birds. The home ia very well equipped with everything you could possibly need - literally just bring yourself! Very well...

Bocas del Mar Hotel
4.0 star property
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (192)
" Lovely landscaped grounds and very helpful and friendly staff at reception and restaurant. Food was lovely! Amazing views from our villa#23! —the villa itself was not decorated well; a black leather couch and heavy red curtains; it had no ‘Panamian feel’ … this missed the mark. -both swimming pools are missing tiles…it didn’t detract from our pleasure! But it gives an ‘old’ and uncared-for impression. However, the property is being renovated so I assume this will be attended too."
