About this property

1 Bedroom Bungalow over the Caribbean on amazing Sea & Beach front property

Our unit "Cabana Delfin" is located at Bocas Beach Villas, over the water, in "Saigon Bay" on Isla Colón, the main island of the archipelago of Bocas del Toro.
With our unique location on the Isthmus of Isla Colón. we enjoy nice sea breezes from both sides of the Caribbean and breathtaking views especially during sunrise and sunset (see pictures).
It is located 60 cents taxi ride (or 5 minute bike ride) from all downtown attractions, shops and restaurants but just enough out of town enjoy the serenity.
Space
The apartment is built over the water and allows beautiful uncrowded views of the Caribbean sea to be enjoyed from the private deck on the front side (west side/sunset side) of the apartment. Also there is a Private Pier even further out over the water for guests to relax in a hammock, sunbath in a longchair or get on kayaks/SUPs to play around in the calm & transparent waters surrounding the Pier. Of course the apartment is fully equipped with fully furbished Kitchen, A/C, TV, WiFi internet, Ceiling Fans, Hot Water, Laundry room
Guest access
Guests can access the entirety of the space which consist of the Laundry Room with washer & dryer, the Roofed Deck area, our Private Roofed Pier over the water with hanging chairs & hammocks, the front parking with the bike rack for guests to lock their bikes or grab a taxi from the front road.
Guest interaction
I usually like to use any common smart-phone messenger tool to facilitate communication with guests anytime they might need help or information but they can also write emails or call me on my cell phone. Also, we like to "empower" our guests which is why we provide them with a comprehensive Welcome Information Package with plenty of maps with annotations, information about transportation, recommendation for meals and activities, extra services available on site & much more.
Neighborhood overview
We are located on the water front of Saigon Bay on Colón Island and enjoy a genuine Caribbean lifestyle. Our location allows us to catch the breeze from either side of the island because it is located on a really stretched isthmus (see aerial picture in gallery) on the way to the nicer beaches of the island and a little bit out of the town (5min bicycle ride or 60cts Taxi ride).
Getting around
It is really easy to get around from the place and you can catch a yellow Taxi right from the front Parking area. Taxis are really affordable but you can also opt for a beach cruiser bicycle which is the #1 way to get around on Isla Colón . N.B: Taxi rides to/from the Airport cost $2.
Other things to note
AirPanama airline often experience delays or changes in their schedule so be aware of this detail when organizing flights in and out of Bocas del Toro. We have only 1 bank in Bocas Town which host the 2 only ATMs in the whole archipelago and they sometimes go empty during the busy season especially on national holidays so we recommend that you make sure to have some cash handy to avoid long queues at the ATM.

Liked: Amenities, communication
We liked the property over the water, but that was not what we got when we first arrived. We felt the advertisement was a bit deceptive. We extended our stay and eventually stayed on the water which was very nice. The manager onsite Rebecca was very helpful through our stay. We went right in to a full blown carnival that went on for about a week. The party never stop so music carried on through the night.

Good stopping point for Island Hoping
I totally enjoyed my stay. It's just outside of town so it's quiet. A 60 cents taxi will get you to town. The hotel is on the water so there's a beautiful view. You will enjoy your stay here and Ludo, the manager, is excellent!

10/10 Excellent

Great place to get away
We had a great time here. It was very peaceful and relaxing. We fell asleep to the sound of the ocean under our bed and were awakened to the sound of the waves. We would definitely recommend this location to our friends.

About the host

Hosted by Sterling Hopman

Host profile image
My Name is Sterling. I moved here to Isla Colón from Hawaii in 2003 and I am loving it here more and more every day. I chose Bocas not only for it's beauty and laid back culture but also because I love the ocean and water sports. I finished building "Santuarios del Mar" in 2008 and have used the units as long and short term rental ever since.

Why they chose this property

Very nice well constructed Caribbean style bungalow. Its setting right over the water give it the feeling of being on a boat with exceptional views from the front terrace. Additional, there is a nice dock with a large covered area at the end with hammocks and chairs to lounge around in. I have Kayaks, SUP boards available to those who want to explore the bay or the Caribbean on the other side as well as surf boards and other water sports equipment.

What makes this property unique

Aside from it's unique location on the Isthmus, it being on the main island has lots of benefits. Most of the nightlife and the restaurants are located on the Island the condo is at and there are lots of things to do and places to explore right here with a bike or getting dropped further up the road by a taxi.
