This home is in the most amazing location - not too far from Bocas Town by boat, but far enough to be peaceful and relatively isolated. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking implements and the host was thoughtful enough to include a separate ice maker and water dispenser. The water isn't safe to drink in Bocas and these amenities made it easier to manage our water.
The entire house opens to the ocean, allowing you to better enjoy the breezes and views. It's furnished with lots chairs and lounges, and there are several places to sit down to eat or play a game. We didn't actually think we'd use the pool, but it ended up being a very nice amenity since the ocean is so warm.
We spent a lot of time snorkeling on the reef right off the house. It's incredibly healthy and is full of fun creatures at night. Eagle rays and squid were constantly cruising by in the glow from the house lights, and we found octopus, toadfish, eels, and crabs out in the inky waters. So bring your underwater lights! The host also provided a kayak and SUP, which we used to explore the surrounding mangroves.
One of the best amenities was probably having a boat captain right on site. Eric was so helpful with great information during our stay, seemed happy to cart us back and forth to town when we wanted, and even took us on a tour of some of the other nearby islands.
I really can't say enough great things about this property, and only have two minor criticisms... 1.) The maids are a little stingy. There were no beach towels or extra towels, so we grabbed the towels from the second bedroom to use outside by the pool. The maids actually took those too when we left them drying outside and didn't replace them. We also had to ask for dishwasher pods a couple times as the maids would only provide one or two at a time. 2.) A primary reason we booked this property was for the hot tub. As other reviews have noted, the hot tub is present, but is not heated. I was a little upset about this at first as we have chronic conditions and soaking in warm water mitigates our pain. But after touring the property and talking with Eric, I realized that this amenity just isn't viable in a place that is dependent on rain water and solar energy. So even if it was working, it just seemed like an unrealistic drain on their resources.
