Azul das Caraíbas, Over the Casita Água

The over-water casita at Dragan and Zu's place is a true refuge. This is a place for those who want to be removed from civilization, in a quiet, private, breezy tropical paradise. It's located at the far end of Bastimentos, about a 20 minute boat ride from Bocas town, and there are no stores closer than that. It's a lovely, rustic cabin with plenty of room and all basic amenities you need. Keep in mind, it's a place to relax and snorkel. There's one restaurant a short kayak away, but otherwise no civilization. Dragan and Zu are respectful of privacy but will also invite you to dinner and share their life if you so desire. I'm going back to the Casita for sure, but staying much longer next time.

We have had a fantastic time with Dragan and Zu. They were the best host/hostess we could ask for, and they assisted with every possible need or concern. The property was fantastic, warm water, a comfortable bed, and a great host/hostess.

I would recommend the rental to any of my friends, family, or anyone interested in having a fantastic time in paradise. We are planning a second trip in September.

This casita is idyllic. It was perfect for my family - 2 adults, 2 teen girls. We had enough space, enough hot water, comfy sleeping arrangements and facilities for cooking and keeping food cold. We stayed 7 days and nights and could have stayed a little longer. Dragan is a wonderful host, carefully checking we had everything we needed for our stay. The snorkeling near the casita was great! There are multiple small reefs surrounding the area, the water is calm, and we all spent a lot of time in the water.

Dragan was a very gracious host and made our stay fun despite the weather. We consider him a friend and hope to meet him again some day.

We enjoyed every minute of our stay here. We wish only that we had booked longer. Next year we will stay a week! Dragon was great and was there for any need we had. It was private, and quiet. The fishing and snorkeling are fabulous.
