Fairytale Jungle Cottage by the Sea, Isla Colon PA

4.93 out of 5 average rating, 46 reviews6 days ago

The house is really exceptionally beautiful and detailed, the outdoor area is also lovingly and imaginatively designed. What is surprising is that there are no mosquitoes in the house although there are no windows only screens. Super nice hostess. The only thing (which was only due to the heavy rain) was that everything was a bit damp, but it wasn't too bad. Super fun!

This little gem is absolutely magical. We were picked up in Bocas by the hosts friend and brought to this incredible place with only a 12 min boat ride from bocas. Their pictures don’t even do this place justice. The beauty is even better in person. I recommend eating the breakfast they offer. Absolutely fresh and delicious. We will be back for sure!

Coco Key - Casita

5 out of 5 average rating, 13 reviews14 months ago

A QUIET PARADISE. This place is lush, tropical and beautiful. Todd's casita is on an island with no roads and the place is surrounded by jungle. The only way there is by boat. So if you want peace and tranquility, this space cannot be beaten. Wake up to the sounds of parrots, a view of the ocean through coconut trees and then eat fresh, tropical fruit picked from one of the many fruit trees. Paradise. Then swim, paddle or snorkel off of the palapa. We snorkeled every day and saw numerous rays, squid, a moray eel and other beautiful aquatic life. There are many good Airbnb hosts and then there is Todd. Immensely helpful, and very kind and considerate. He routinely checked in on us and was so responsive and generous with his suggestions and the use of things on the space. He loves his home and wants to share the beautiful space with like minded travelers. The caretaker, Juan, is quiet, respectful and very kind. His son, Li, is awesome and will transport guests anywhere

#1 Rated Overwater Bungalows in Panama (Piña)

5 out of 5 average rating, 5 reviews25 months ago

Truly exceptional!! Seldom do AirBnB's EXCEED your expectations.....this one honestly did! We were blown away by the attention to detail and how genuine Drew was in making sure our stay was comfortable and unforgettable. As a host, Drew stands out for his prompt, thorough communication. We were drawn to this listing because of all the included amenities (i.e. kayaks, SUP's, snorkel gear, steps right into the water)....there was so much to do right from the bungalow! The sleeping arrangements worked well for our family of four - we would definitely recommend this stay for families, not just couples! We thoroughly enjoyed the welcome drinks, the morning french-press coffee on our private deck, the amazing included breakfasts, and the one dinner we arranged in their restaurant. This accommodation truly earns its 5-star rating. We'd love to come back one day!

Ocean Front Artistic House

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 65 reviews1 week ago

Helena is such a lovely, warm- hearted person. She took time to make sure, we know everything in the house, including what to do if there is a power cut. Keep in mind, it's a bio house, so everything is run by the solar panels outside. There is a small store in Bastimentos Town, but it's better if you do the shopping in Colon Town. We really enjoyed being surrounded by the nature, listening to the rain.. We can recommend Helena and her house 100% and we will for sure be back.
