Bocas Villas - Private Acqua Villas

Private villas built over the Caribbean in some of the cleanest and clearest water in the islands. The perfect place to enjoy nearby activities and still relax in the quiet Caribbean atmosphere at night. Our villas are eco-friendly with all self-sufficient utilities, without the sacrifice of comfort and luxury. An open floor plan gives great views of the bay and volcanic mountain range of Panama in the distance with spectacular sunsets.

Great location but could use better maintenance
Beautiful location, quiet sea and abundance of fish. Warm water great for snorkeling and very relaxing overall. The villas could benefit from better maintenance (from burned out bulbs, rotting deck to chairs falling apart) and a little better equipped kitchen. Insufficient pots, bowls, utensils etc made it a challenge to prepare meals. Due to remote location going out to restaurants wasn't practical. Could use more than 1 kayak between 4 villas, and more towels. The most disturbing, however, was the incredible mess surrounding the owner's house (photo included) and sewage pipe leaking from every joint a smelly stuff into the water right where we snorkelled. All these problems could be remedied with a little effort from a charming owner. Once these little things are taken care of, it would be the idyllic vacation everyone dreams of.

Amazing location for those looking to escape
Other reviews have already stated the most important details. The location is gorgeous, the reef right off the porch is amazing and full of (smallish) sea life, Phil is a super-nice and available host. The other side is also true--it's a bit of a hassle to get back and forth to town (and pricey), the units could use some updates and amenities, and some of the creature comforts are missing (e.g., TV, reliable internet, A/C). All that said, I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. Bring bug spray or wipes and realize that you are there to relax and it will be a lovely stay. Thanks, Phil!

Beautiful Location
this place is absolutely beautiful. we rented 3 of the 4 villas and really enjoyed swimming from house to house to visit. The two property caretakers are easy to get ahold of and and got us to and from bocas town pretty easily. better if you speak a little spanish, but they did fine with our english only friends too. It's important to understand what you're getting here though. this place is right near a jungle, and over the water far from town. there will be bugs, and we had a few bats fly into our room. this wasn't a problem for us, but if you're expecting a pristine up scale hotel experience, this probably isn't it.

Beautiful setting but the house is in need of some repairs, we had no water to the toilet at first plus the water smelled bad, no mosquito net for the bed, we got eaten up by bugs. The boat ride to town is $25 EACH WAY! No microwave only a cook stove. The place needs to be upgraded a bit. Glad we went but wouldn't stay here again.

Wonderful stay among the sloths, sting rays and pelicans!
We had such a great stay at the Bocas Villas! My husband and I spent a week of our honeymoon there and it was absolutely beautiful. Kris and Faubion (the on-site managers of the property) made our stay even more special by welcoming us and being open to every question and/or request. The location is definitely more for people who want to enjoy the tranquility and natural beauty of Bocas as the property is located out of town and primarily accessible by their private boat taxi. We would definitely stay again!

Great location and good facilities. Fab and Kris are property managers on the premises. They were very friendly, accommodating and efficient. Great communication. If you want to be in Bocas on the water, this is great.

Awesome & peaceful getaway!
This was our first time staying in a villa over the water and it was an amazing experience. Booking was super easy & the owner Philip was quick to respond to questions. The managers Fab & Kris were super kind and helpful. The location is a short boat ride away from downtown Bocas, which is great because it offers seclusion. The home is a great size with a nice kitchen and large indoor and outdoor living area. We used the paddle board and kayak and swam around our place. It’s exactly what we were hoping for and truly met and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for peace, quiet and beautiful sunsets.

Great Place but misleading listing
Let me first say I enjoyed my stay. If you are looking for a quiet getaway this is it. The reef in front is amazing and great for snorkeling. In the listing, the location on the map is extremely off. This place is ONLY accessible by boat and a 20 min boat ride from Bocas Town at that. The listing also states that it sleeps 4. Well, not really. There is a queen sized bed in the bedroom, a couch and loveseat in the living area and a hammock and outdoor couch on the porch. So 2 adults can sleep comfortably the other 2 will need to wear a beekeepers suit to keep the mosquitos away if they sleep outside. There is also no parking or tv as the listing states. Also, after booking is when you are notified about the cost of the boat ride and food service at the villas. That wasn't a deal killer obviously but it would have been nice to know before hand. With all of that being said, I would stay here again.
