About this apartment rental

"Manta Raya" apartment is a very nice, new, well constructed 2 bedroom Apartment over the water on Isla Colón, the main island of the Bocas del Toro Archipelago. With our unique location on the Isthmus of Isla Colón we get nice sea breezes from the Caribbean and breathtaking views of Almirante Bay with the mainland mountains in the distance. It is a great place to watch the sunsets too. We are a 60 cent taxi ride or 5 minute bike ride from all downtown attractions and just enough out of town enjoy the serenity.

Space
The apartment is built by the beach and allows beautiful uncrowded views of the Caribbean sea to be enjoyed from the private deck on the back side (west side/sunset side) of the condo. Also there is a Private Pier even further out over the water for guests to relax in a hammock, sunbath in a longchair or get on kayaks/SUPs to play around in the calm & transparent waters surrounding the Pier. Of course the apartment is fully equipped with fully furbished Kitchen, A/C, TV, WiFi internet, Ceiling Fans, Hot Water, Laundry room

Guest access
Guests can access the entirety of the space which consist of the Laundry Room with washer & dryer, the Roofed Deck area, our Private Roofed Pier over the water with hanging chairs & hammocks, the front parking with the bike rack for guests to lock their bikes or grab a taxi from the front road.

Guest interaction
I usually like to use any common smart-phone messenger tool to facilitate communication with guests anytime they might need help or information but they can also write emails or call me on my cell phone. Also, we like to "empower" our guests which is why we provide them with a comprehensive Welcome Information Package with plenty of maps with annotations, informations about transportation, recommendation for meals and activities, extra services available on site & much more.

Neighborhood overview
We are located on the water front of Saigon Bay on Colón Island and enjoy a genuine Caribbean lifestyle. Our location allows us to catch the breeze from either side of the island because it is located on a really stretched isthmus (see aerial picture in gallery) on the way to the nicer beaches of the island and a little bit out of the town (5min bicycle ride or 60cts Taxi ride).

Getting around
It is really easy to get around from the place and you can catch a yellow Taxi right from the front Parking area. Taxis are really affordable but you can also opt for a beach cruiser bicycle which is the #1 way to get around on Isla Colón . N.B: Taxi rides to/from the Airport cost $2.

Other things to note
AirPanama airline often experience delays or changes in their schedule so be aware of this detail when organizing flights in and out of Bocas del Toro. We have only 1 bank in Bocas Town which host the 2 only ATMs in the whole archipelago and they sometimes go empty during the busy season especially on national holidays so we recommend that you make sure to have some cash handy to avoid long queues at the ATM.

This upstairs apartment is in a wonderful location and has an absolutely beautiful interior. It was very well appointed and had everything we needed. The property manager was on-site and very responsive. Would highly recommend.

The property Manta Raya was very nice and Rebecca the host, was very helpful. The location was good. Outside of the downtown but close enough to walk if you want or a $1 cab ride. Nothing relative to the property but we did not love Bocas Del Toro as a whole. It was nice to visit and experience but it won't be on our short list to return to.

We stayed 2 nights in this great apartment with our 2 teenagers at the start of our Bocas trip! The location was great you are out of town but still close enough to walk or jump in a taxi! the market is right next door so makes it easy to grab supplies as needed! The kids LOVED swimming right off the deck it was calm and relaxing! The apartment had everything you needed and the host was super friendly and helpful! We would for sure return on another visit.

My family (4 of us, including pre-teen to teen daughters) just spent 4 nights in Bocas as part of a nine day stay in Panama. We all agreed that we should have booked a longer trip and included more nights in Bocas. Alas! We will return! Bocas is great! There are tons of opportunities to explore - if bored…take a water taxi to a new random beach. There is great food! Lots of beaches and tours! Granted,there are parts of Bocas that are pretty rough around the edges (like many Caribbean destinations, parts of the local population are struggling). But Bocas is in that sweet spot of authentic international travel (awesome location, not overrun by corporate travel nonsense, tons of options for fun, great food options, some iffy party scene nonsense, locals proud to share their amazing destination, non potable water, used toilet paper goes in the wastebasket, …). The property is clean, safe, and has an amazing communal dock for chillin’. We were very comfortable. Grocery store is a 2 minute walk. Town is a little bonkers…this property is just a smidge outside of loud town stuff. Rented bikes from the property for the duration - highly recommended. You can take taxis to and from town. Or walk 20 minutes each way - we did night 1. But bikes are way better. It’s a little iffy on your first ride back from town on bike at night, with crazy taxis zipping by, but you quickly learn that so many locals bike all day and night, that cars look out for all bikers. We also rented the kayaks for a day. Highly recommended. Rebecca is AMAZING!!! We’ve stayed at plenty of VRBOs, but have never had such a wonderfully friendly, helpful, and available host. She is an absolute DREAM! All heart. She was tremendously welcoming and an absolute gem for recommendations. Nothing but love for her and her family!!
