Awesome property!

We every much enjoyed our stay at villa 4 at Red Frog Resort. The villa is lovely, spacious, and well-maintained, and the resort is beautiful as well. This villa is on the Red Frog property with full access to all amenities and services of the resort in addition to having its own private pool, which our kids loved. Brett was communicative and helpful with checking in and answering questions. He was also great about giving us a later check-out since our flight wasn’t departing until that evening. Our family of 5 really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend.

Welcome to paradise! The view of the front of the house and the deck

Clean, Open Air Jungle House

We enjoyed our stay & plan to return! Home was very clean and contained all necessities. Host was very communicative, and property manager was on site in a separate home and assisted us immediately when we had any questions. The beds were super comfortable, bedrooms had wonderful air conditioning and storage. We enjoyed the open air living room and kitchen, feeling truly one with nature.

Bocas Boathouse Bungalow

What a find! As Alaskans, we seek out places in nature that are somewhat isolated and full of nature. Our darling home, on stilts, above the ocean, was perfect, private, quiet with stunning views. The kitchen was impressively equipped for our cooking needs. The snorkeling off our dock was really special. What more could you want! Our host and hostess were the resources we needed to help us plan water taxis and tours for snorkeling, birding, sloth and dolphin sightings etc! Ever grateful for this adventure!

tips on how to make the most of your stay (from people who rented a boat)

When you arrive, soak in all of the beauty. Teo gives you a tutorial on the house, then before you unpack, jump in the water. I read about a “gourmet” grocery store; not necessary. Teo brought us to 2 of the big ones in the center of town. Between these 2 big stores they did had everything (including beer/liquor). We rented our own panga (a motorboat with covering) for 3 days. We actually should’ve rented it for the entire time. We could go anywhere we liked. We went to starfish beach, the Smithsonian, Bocas town, dolphin bay etc. On the days that Teo took us places, he arrived within 20 minutes of our request, and picked us up exactly when we asked. He was very good at communication. The kayaks and paddle boards are great, but the snorkeling gear has leaky masks. Bring your own. We kept the windows and doors open at all times. And it was really lovely. It’s hot otherwise. The only excursion we took with Teo was one to the bat cave because it was not something you can access without somebody who really knows the mangroves. Go. It’s great! Turn off the nights at night; look at the stars. The kitchen does not have a blender but has a lot of cookware. The electricity went out several times, (stormy season). We yelled for Angel who turned on the generator almost immediately. Sunsets are exquisite; golden light on water. Take a sunset kayak. Bring bugspay! Cute house geckos eat bugs! Swim under the house and get your photo taken through the floor!

Fantastic family vacation

I can't recommend this rental home enough! My family (husband and two kids age 10 and 7) stayed here for one week. We all loved the view, ability to snorkel right from the porch, the howler monkeys in the jungle, and the house's layout and luxurious beds. Check-in - Getting in was a little hectic, but was managed well. We were taken to the dock to drop off our luggage and walked to the grocery store close by. There is a pretty good variety of foods. Just come prepared for tight aisles and a crowd. I recommend having a list of the most important things you need so you don't forget them. We forgot butter, garlic, and eggs, but got them on another trip later that week. Once they bagged our groceries, they brought them over to the dock for us, which was so helpful since we had quite a load. It was a 20-25 minute boat ride to the house from there. Getting to the house, the manager showed us around and asked us about plans for the week so she could help us start to make any needed reservations. The stay - Our favorite things to do were snorkeling from the house (there are some jellyfish and sea urchins in the water, so be careful), hiking in the jungle, relaxing on the porch watching the water, kayaking, and taking several outings: 1) Zapatilla Island - If you are looking for a beautiful tropical island and beach, go here! The boat captain took us early enough that we were the first ones and got to enjoy it by ourselves before a crowd arrived. 2) Green Acres Chocolate Farm - A close boat ride away and a fantastic learning opportunity about some of the local flora and fauna. 3) Bat Cave - We saw some cool animals in addition to the bats. Didn't go too far into the cave because the water gets deep, but still saw a lot. 4) Coral Key for snorkeling - Saw some larger coral formations and schools of fish. Very beautiful. We had the chef cook for us for five nights and it was so great. He used the foods we had purchased and created different meals every night. A very friendly guy and speaks fantastic English, too! I booked an appointment for a 60-minute massage and the masseuse came right to the house and set up the table in the kitchen, complete with relaxing music. She does a Swedish-style massage. This place is not the best choice for people who - have small children, have mobility issues, or don't like geckos (there are several little geckos in the house that are fantastic little pest control agents, but can be scary to some people).
