Holiday rentals with lake access in Bocas del Toro Archipelago

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

Our stay at Jen and Chris’s Airbnb was pure magic. From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by breathtaking views and the kind of tranquility that only comes with being right on the water. The casita was thoughtfully designed, with a well-equipped kitchen that made cooking easy and enjoyable. Waking up to the sound of the waves and sipping coffee while watching birds flit through the trees was an absolute dream. The water access here is incredible; calm, clear, and perfect for swimming. We spent so much time in and out of the water, just soaking in the beauty of the place. The kids ran wild together from sunrise to sunset, fully immersed in nature, and we loved seeing them so free and happy. One of the highlights of our trip was the massage I received from Jen. I can confidently say it was one of the best massages of my life. It was intuitive and deeply relaxing. It was exactly what I didn’t even know I needed.

Maya is a wonderful host; she could not have been kinder or more welcoming. The location is remote! But the use of a kayak was great: we were able to paddle to a nice beach and there were more facilities in the same area.

We love our stay at Augustus' place. The photos correspond to what we found in the house. It is a very spacious and comfortable house. The only point of attention was that the hot water was not working for the bath. I believe he will fix it soon.

Wow, such a cute little cabin with friendly welcoming host! Caroline was helpful, responsive, and sweet! Cabin very clean and looked like pictures. You cam hear the wildlife and nature sounds all day! I saw a family of monkeys, birds, frogs, and of course bugs... lol. Caroline did provide mosquito coils but since it's in the jungle, bugs are around. Loved breakfast delivered to me on the terrace. Ahhh the pool was so cute and refreshing! Overall great stay!!

This is a very special place and my friends and I were so grateful to experience it for four nights. Hellen is so helpful and will ensure your experience is as adventurous or relaxing as you want it to be. She’s an excellent cook as well. I could not recommend this place enough!

My family had an amazing stay at Michel's home (2 adults, 2 kids under 10yo). The house is right on the water with beautiful beaches and snorkeling just meters away. The arrival logistics were easy: We were picked up at the airport and driven straight to the office. Did some quick grocery shopping, grabbed a bite to eat, and then got on the boat to Al Natural. The resort area was great for kids since the water is fairly shallow off the beach and protected from big waves. We particularly appreciated: Readily available gear (paddle boards, ping pong, snorkeling gear, etc.). Amazing, large porch for relaxing. Ability to easily book excursions and transport (chocolate farm, scuba, bat caves, etc.). Cooking at the house or signing up for delicious meals at the main resort building. Kind staff that were welcoming to our kids. My only recommendation is bringing enough cash for excursions. We didn't plan it out well enough and were down to our last balboa/dollar at the end.

I spent a month here. We felt at home right away. Exceptionally clean, everything you need in the kitchen, lots of towels and access to laundry on site for free. Walking distance to town or beaches, easy to hail taxis and close to bus stop. Beautiful sunsets everyday. Al and Urania were always available by phone or in person to help with any questions. Wifi and smart tv . Kayaks available to use on the bay. Highly recommend staying here.

A gorgeous place with very kind hosts who rescued me from a dangerous situation at a different AIRBNB by accepting my last-minute reservation. It was a very healing stay. Clarisse is a delight to be around and a great chef - I will never forget her chocolate volcano cake - fully worth breaking a diet for, haha. I will also never forget Davide saying, "You are the master of your trip, you can change your mind" when I made a small change to excursion plans. Both extremely responsive to requests, very kind about guests being delayed and such. Would visit again.
