The villa was amazing, great place to relax with family!

Next time, I will come back during the summer instead of during the rainy season!

The house is in a perfect setting. Quiet and beautiful. So peaceful and with masses of sky and sea always something to look at from the terrace. And once tiring of the terrace just drop into the sea and snorkel around its own coral reef. We saw plenty of fish but the most special were an eagle ray and a small shark (reef shark?). As well as the house being very comfortable, the hosts were very welcoming and helpful and we even managed to check-in early. We were surprised to find paddle boards, kayaks and snorkelling equipment all on hand to use. The only downside of this wonderful house are the eating options (see what we didn't like), but with planning and without great expectations this needn't spoil your visit.

The only negative point of this house is being able to eat well! Breakfasts provided by the hosts were great. But for the rest there are no shops or restaurants nearby so everything is a water taxi ride away. With a round trip of $40 for 2 to go to Bocas frequent shopping trips are expensive. And the selection of food in the many small supermarkets in Bocas was very unfamiliar so it was difficult to pull together ingredients to create varied and interesting meals. But perhaps I'm just not very creative. If you can get the ingredients the kitchen was well equipped. It would also be possible to get water taxis to restaurants, but we didn't try this. So not the fault of the property, but something that needs to be considered to have a truly perfect stay in the villa.

The included breakfast was delicious and location was great - fairly isolated which was nice. The property itself was absolutely beautiful and well maintained. We spent two days there just enjoying the space, kayaking, etc. It had all the amenities we needed. The glass floor was cool and there was even a light to attract fish at night.

The paddle part of the paddleboard paddle fell off and sunk, without any misuse or abuse on our part, and the host made us pay for a whole new paddle ($55USD). The paddle was clearly cheap or defective and we were honest about it in telling her when checking out, but she was quite rude about the whole situation. Some of the screens had holes/tears, allowing bugs inside at night (no-see-ems). It was too hot to close all the doors and windows to keep them out so we had bites everywhere.
