Island holiday rentals in Bocas del Toro Archipelago

Do NOT miss this stay. This is not an accommodation, this is a whole experience! We stayed for part of our honeymoon and wish we could have been here for the whole thing. The food was beyond perfect, Alicia and Francine accommodated vegan with food allergies. The cocktails are all fresh and fantastic on demand from local herbs and fruits. Francine called in a local masseuse, who gave the perfect massage.. The view and surrounding nature was aw inspiring. The venue was glorious, the food divine, and Francine and her team like family. Don't forget to ask about the contributions to the local indigenous community, and contribute further by purchasing their art. You won't regret your stay on Urraca!

Dorien made us stay in the small 2-seater cabin visible in the photos. The cabin is very simple, with a fan. The toilets and showers are separate, but very close and clean. Dorien is full of attention: she welcomed us warmly, provided us with kayaks and snorkeling equipment and recommended hikes on the island. She also offers all of her Cacao farm during which she will not hesitate to show you all the animals and plants that live in her home, including a lazy family and Felipe the parrot. Her kids and volunteers are there to brighten up meals. We had a very pleasant stay, in a very quiet and peaceful little corner and in very simple but perfectly functional and pleasant conditions. Loved it! Dorien can arrange pickups from other lodges with her Captain:)

words can't describe what we experienced!! a dream! literally! the view, the calmness, the clear water, the cute 🐒🐒🐒 the 🐠🐟🐠🐟 just beautiful 🤩❤️ and the atmosphere, is of a kind! our host was so nice, full of love! and very helpful! she also knows a lot about kosher food! which is really helpful for Jewish travelers! she was really helpful with accommodating our kosher needs!

Al Natural is a paradise on earth, Michel the owner a great professional always attentive, the paradise place, beaches, jungle. Sleeping with ocean wave noise and back Jungle animals. Spectacular food both breakfast and otherworldly lunch and dinner with candles and food from chef Vicente with all those staying at the resort together commenting on everything. The resort has paddle surfing and kayaks and diving masks and fins to relax. Here you go to relax and be with nature. In short, I recommend a lodging show......

Stop scrolling ! You have found heaven on earth! Thank the universe and book! Where to begin ? The property itself is stunning- the construction is beautiful and the view is amazing. Yes! There are dolphins right outside. Erika’s daughter spotted us a jumping pod when we were getting on the boat one morning. Spacious, well stocked, great beds, paddleboards, amazing bathtub and laundry. But the real treasure is the staff! Like wow! A+ service. From the chef, to Erika, to Jose the boat captain to the insanely talented masseuse, this place has quiet luxury on lock. It’s an incredible value. We especially loved ZapAtilla island, dunking into the water off the front deck and then chilling in the hammocks ! Saw a sting ray and many tropical fish - don’t skimp on the snorkeling opportunities! Julia does an incredible job and the management is world class. Erika- this review is esp for you! We loved your soul 💫 So helpful !

Like every other review this place is incredible. We didn’t want to leave! Our tips would be - take more cash than you think you’ll need and a little more food than you think you’ll need. 😆 we ate at the restaurant one evening which was lovely and their chef is amazing but otherwise it was easy to fend for ourselves in the incredible setting. Touring the community is amazing (take your bug spray!) and the other outings were equally as memorable. We also toured the cacao farm in Dolphin Bay which was great! We were there with our twin boys who are 7 and not a moment of boredom! The house kitty was adorable and the boys named her Tinta (Valimir said she didn’t have a name yet so was happy she got one 😆) The boys are ready to go back!

This little gem is absolutely magical. We were picked up in Bocas by the hosts friend and brought to this incredible place with only a 12 min boat ride from bocas. Their pictures don’t even do this place justice. The beauty is even better in person. I recommend eating the breakfast they offer. Absolutely fresh and delicious. We will be back for sure!

Francine’s mangrove monkey island is pure magic. If you’re looking to really disconnect and be living in a natural setting on the ocean, this is your place. We were able to meet and be around monkeys that she is rehabilitating and honestly this was one of the most unique and fun experiences of my life. You can snorkel and see sting rays and so much marine life!! The food was to die for. I can’t say enough about this Airbnb experience. Thank you Francine and everyone else who made our time here so special :’)

It is difficult to find words to describe a place with such natural beauty and warmth. I searched the internet for a location that was suitable for a proposal and was very much pleased with my decision to go with urraca private island. Francine was very responsive and accommodating. She amplified our stay with her genuine passion to make our experience a memorable one. Her attention to detail was amazing and gave me so much peace of mind. She exceeded every expectation. The space was amazing, with breathtaking views if the ocean that seemed to go forever. The sunset and sunrise we’re as beautiful as it gets. There were plenty of activities to take advantage of as well a turtle tour that was a highlight of our stay. I would definitely recommend taking advantage of this as it is very exclusive and a check off our bucket list. I took advantage of one of the packages offered on her website and received a great value. I know the price for some of us is always a factor but believe me when I tell you this place is worth every penny. Thanks again Francine for your graciousness, we look forward to revisiting this magical place. -Manny
