Exactly what we were looking for. Comfortable accommodations right on the water in a rustic setting with wildlife all around. Amazing snorkeling right on the property, hiking trail through the rainforest with sloths and monkeys, and opportunities for kayaking, swimming, etc. Hosts Melisa and Luciano were so helpful before and during our stay, and the food they prepared was spectacular. We loved our stay!

Perfect for curious souls

We truly loved our stay with the Cocovivo family! We had no idea what to expect as some other places in Bocas del Toro had their corals bleeched. When we began snorkeling at Cocovivo - it was an amazing experience. What Ulrich and Elisabeth have created is a playground on both land and water... With coral reefs, kayaks, trails to spot the monkeys, sloths, birds, dolphins and at night glowing plankton and star filled skies... The list goes on. Lastly, a big shoutout to Captain, their dog, our FRIEND, and protector. He made our stay extra special. Friendliest and most active dog we've ever met. Gracias Cocovivo por los lindos recuerdos.

Amazing hosts, unforgettable experience

We stayed 5 nights with 7 & 9 year olds. After dropping our bags, we received a tour of the toilets. Each cabin on the water has open toilets (for pee) with receptacles for paper. There are also several compostable toilets (simply pour a few scoops of sawdust after use and nature does the rest) and one flushable toilet. We used them all and were amazed at how easy, clean, and well engineered they all were. Ningún problema. We spent our days waking to the sounds of the jungle (birds and howler monkeys), stand-up paddling while trying to catch up to the fast swimming dolphin, jungle trekking with sloth, reading in the hammock for hrs (I finished 2 books!), snorkeling, & eating very well (Gracias a Nacho for making pickles for my daughter when she was homesick). Our only complaint was the sand flies who devoured us (+100 bites btwn us). Bring repellant! And cream for after the bites.

DONT HESITATE!

WOW! What an unbelievable experience we had at this unique and awesome property. Here are a bunch of random notes: 1) be prepared for no hot water and composting toilets (think porta potties) this was not an issue for us, but for some it could be. 2) Try everything and advocate for yourself. We found that sometimes they were a little pessimistic about certain activities- but if you tell them you want to do it they will make it happen. 2a) Bio-luminescence was really cool - go snorkeling and take out the clear kayak (they told us with the full moon it may not be worth it but it was cloudy enough and definitely worth it) 2b) We went to a day trip to Zapatillas (they also didnt advise it) but we went the right time of year (September) and it was amazing! 3) Staying on dolphin bay was really amazing, we saw dolphins off the dock (though from pretty far away), and on our boat trip to zapatillas and on our return to bocas at the end of our stay. 4) The coral here is out of this world, the greens, yellows and purples were amazing 5) Its definitely not super private and the Dolphin pod that we stayed in was probably the least private. You need to go in aware and comfortable with this. You basically see people walking by when you are in the outdoor shower. So either be comfortable, wear a bathing suit or shower at night. 6) It can be a little toasty in the cabins at night - they do provide a fan - but if you are sensitive you should be aware. Our friends stayed in mangrove house and it was stuffier than the Dolphin pod - but way more private. 7) Bocas town was not our cup of tea, so we only went when we needed to fly in and out. All of this aside, we had a fantastic time and would definitely consider going back!
