This place is truly amazing. It looks just like the pictures. So relaxing and peaceful. The hosts are always available to help with absolutely anything at all. We saw 4 sloths right during our walk through with Katarin. Jose and Victoriano were always available to help us with anything we needed. Jose took us on multiple boat rides and Victoriano led us on a jungle hike. There is amazing snorkeling right off the deck of the house. They truly had everything imaginable ready at the house from shampoo conditioner, laundry soap, snorkel gear, hiking boots, kayaks etc. We even hired a chef to cook us dinner one night! Also there are 2 extremely sweet dogs that follow you around and love on you during your trip, be sure to grab them some doggy treats and food when you do your grocery shopping. They will love it!

Beautiful house, stunning location and very responsive host. Note, however, that it rains a lot during this time of year.

This is not a conventional holiday home – and that is exactly what made our stay memorable. Casa del Mar really feels like living in the middle of the Bocas archipelago: a house on stilts over the sea, surrounded by water, jungle and mangroves, reached by boat rather than road. We especially enjoyed the rhythm of everyday life there: watching the weather move across the water, using the SUPs to get around, spotting wildlife and dolphins, and experiencing how a remote house works with rainwater and limited resources. It felt much closer to actually living on a tropical island than simply staying at a resort. The house is spacious and very well placed for exploring the area by boat. José took us on a great trip around Dolphin Bay, to Coral Cay and Zapatilla, and we also enjoyed visiting the nearby cacao farm. A distinctive place, and one of those stays where the location itself becomes a major part of the travel experience.

It was beautiful. The villa is superb, very well decorated, ideal for 6. We were able to try out the tree house at the bottom of the garden, a nice experience. The kitchen is very well equipped, and the ceiling fans are very welcome. We used the canoes to go for a ride; it was great. The water is clear, and you can see beautiful starfish. A big thank you to Captain José for taking us on his boat. We took the cocoa farm tour: a must!! And the cherry on the cake: we could see dolphins from the terrace 💕

I don't think I can write a review that fairly reflects the incredible experience we had in this house. I can venture to say that this house is the embodiment of happiness and joy. The people who support this house are all exceptional individuals. They went above and beyond to ensure our happiness at all times. I recommend a stay in this house to everyone!

The house is as it appears in the photos. Very nice and super comfortable. There were 7 of us, and it was perfect. The house is super equipped. It has everything you need to go on excursions and have a beautiful stay.

We spent five nights at Julia's place during the rainy season end of June/first of July, and we had a remarkable experience. The transportation from the airport was seamless. Papa Jose is the best boat captain. He is super flexible and knows many people. Chef Jose - you just have to experience his fine cuisine. Don't miss out on the chef opportunity - it is well worth it. The place is wonderful, calm water, paddle boards, kayaks and the resident sloth. Erika helped tremendously coordinating our excursions. The chocolate farm and the monkey sanctuary are an experience you will not want to miss out on. Also Papa Jose navigates the waters brilliantly even in our groups adventurous trip out during some rain (don't let it stop you). Papa Jose also took us to a mangrove island with an amazing coral reef for those wanting to snorkel-it was AMAZING! I would highly recommend this place because you are well cared for your entire stay.

We had a terrific stay with our three kids (14, 11, 7)! The house has everything you need. We fished off the docks, snorkeled, played with the dogs, and walked on the jungle path step. It was a quiet time of the year - we enjoyed watching the locals passed by on the dugout canoes. This will be a super memorable experience for the whole family!

Everything was absolutely wonderful. The house is beautiful, super quiet and relaxing. 1000/10. I highly recommend it. I would definitely come back. We went snorkeling, paddleboarding, and saw dolphins in their natural habitat, coral life, and starfish! You really have to live the experience to understand.
