Cozy Cabana Studio with great views over the Caribbean waters!
Cangrejo Studio is a cozy and comfortable new studio over the water in "Saigon Bay" on Isla Colón, the main island of the archipelago of Bocas del Toro. With our unique position on the island's Isthmus, we enjoy pleasant sea breezes from both sides of the Caribbean and breathtaking views, especially during sunrise and sunset. We are close to town ($0.60 for a taxi or a 5-minute bike ride). This makes it a perfect location: easy access to all downtown attractions, bars, and restaurants, and just enough out of town to enjoy the serenity.
If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking.

Just the right spot
Firstly, thanks to Rebecca for her communication and quick responses. This unit on the water was perfect for our stay in Bocas Del toro. It was close to groceries as well as restaurants so we had everything we needed. My only issue was that the chef knife was very dull and had challenges cutting up our tuna we caught. Would highly recommend staying there.
Beautiful and cozy! Rebecca is the best and will help and accommodate with whatever she can! Amazing place to stay. Unfortunately it’s not a swimmable body of water in this area (according to locals) but the beautiful deck and alternative water sports offered by the place really makes up for it. Highly recommended.

Back to Bocas
Great place, about what we expected. Out of downtown but not too far. Great little porch overlooking the water, and the house, being over the water left us lots of water sounds which we adored.

Always pleasant
Bocas is a great place and Saigon Bay is just far enough from downtown for a less busy atmosphere but quick ride to dinner, bike or taxi.
