    We stayed in an over-the-water bungalow. It was roomy, clean, and had a fabulous view of the bay. It was quiet even though it was on a main road. Property was well maintained.

    The apartment is first rate and the dock made things work. The people at Kawi, who was refered to by the apartment made for a great tour.

Company information

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, information about transportation, recommendation for meals and activities, extra services available on site & much more.

Property information

The apartments are located on Colón Island (main island of the archipelago of Bocas del Toro) and are built over and next to the water which allows beautiful uncrowded views of the Caribbean sea to be enjoyed from the rooms or from our Private Pier/Deck on the front side (west side/sunset side) of the property for guests to relax in a hammock, sunbath in a long chair or get on kayaks/SUPs to play around in the calm & transparent waters of "Saigon Bay" surrounding the Pier. Our units are fully equipped with fully furbished Kitchen, A/C, TV, WiFi internet, Ceiling Fans, Hot Water and 1 (one) full 5 galon drinking water bottle, extra bottle will incur a 6USD (six us Dollars) extra fee. 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 Colón Island.

Neighbourhood information

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) along the main road and on the way to the nicest beaches of the island and a little bit out of the town (5min bicycle ride or 60cts Taxi ride).
