    Only 1 bathroom for the big apartment, a bit pricey too, otherwise all was perfect, apartment beautiful and spacious and airy.

    EXCELLENT LOCATION IN A QUIET AREA WITH A BEAUTIFUL VIEWS, PRETTY CLOSE TO ALL THE MAJOR POINTS, BEACHES AND TOWN CENTER

    It cannot be better; you just accept location, view, and price. In that combination, it was a good deal.

    Cleanness, comfort, roomy apartment, and excellent communication with the host.

    The fans were not working and it was annoying that one of the two bedrooms didn’t have air conditioning. However it did get cool enough at night that this didn’t matter so much. I didn’t pay more for the ocean view but I think it’s probably worth it

    Nice to be outside town but not too far (2km). Also really appreciated having a full kitchen with a grocery store next door. The staff were very communicative and helpful over WhatsApp.

    This has nothing to do with the apartment, the taxi service in Bocas needs lots of work.

    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.

    We stayed in the studio with a private balcony (Estrella del Mar). Loved sitting on the terrace with a cold beer overlooking the Caribbean sea and watching the sunset 😎. You can hire paddle boards/ canoes & take them straight into the water from the pier. Bikes also available to hire. Rebecca was a great host & always available to help with any questions. The owner, Sterling, was a top bloke who kindly dropped us back at the airport! It’s about a 20 min walk to town or you can jump in a taxi for $1 each. (During the day walk along the beach to cut the corner off & avoid the traffic on the main road)

    Given the beautiful setting in the house of being wall to wall windows facing the sea (stunning) it did get hot inside from the greenhouse effect. I am not into AC normally but I had to keep it on all the time to make it manageable (opening all the windows for a crossdraft was lovely). Perhaps an additional A/C for the upstairs bedroom would help (as they have in the lower bedroom).

    The value of the place was amazing. It's hard to tell from the photos how stunning the location, home and view is... sitting on the deck looking out at the sailboats was a picturesque feeling I will never forget!

    Great place! We enjoyed the peaceful location, the wonderful sea view, the terrace with the hammocks- a great place to start your morning and watch the sunset, the kitchen was very convenient and we were very close to the super market. And lastly, Rebecca the host was super nice and helpful. We highly recommend!

    NOTE: I am extremely sensitive so this may not be noticeable to others. Expect a little party noise from the neighbors, and some street noise during day from the island's road construction vehicles. Also not sure what is next door, but it smells like a sanitation plant and on occasion the smell would waft into the bedroom upstairs. Some ant control is needed, but that is typical of tropical environments and if you are vigilant with keeping everything clean, they do not bother you. Even with these very minor negatives, we absolutely loved the place and would happily stay here again!

    The condo was clean and beautiful with a gorgeous view, the AC worked well, it felt safe and secure, and both the host and owner were super friendly and helpful people. The location was great - close enough to town, yet far enough to be peaceful - we even snorkeled in the bay and saw some nice corals and fish. The dock out front was very handy for excursions and boat taxis, and the end of the dock has a lovely lounge and social area. Kitchen was excellent and well-equipped, and overall the condo was well-appointed with nice decor and useful touches. There is a grocery store a few doors away that was well-supplied and had a large variety of goods, and several restaurants nearby that are perfect for some local-style meals.

    The loud air conditioning unit right next to the bed. The kitchen needs new pans so you don't have to search for matching lids.

    The little deck on the back. Very peaceful. We saw some manta rays! The fresh water stand so we could refill our bottles easily.
