Bahía Azul Hotels

"We stayed at a VRBO casita on Isla Bastimientos in Bocas del Toro, and it was one of those places that instantly makes you feel at home. The owners, Jeremy and Tessa, were incredibly welcoming and thoughtful! You can tell they’ve poured their hearts into this place. The casita sits on 100 acres of farmland that they’ve been building from the ground up, and it’s really special to experience something so intentionally created and cared for.One of the highlights was Tessa’s home-cooked meals (optional, since the casita does have a full kitchenette). She offers three meals a day, and every single one was delicious, often made with ingredients pulled straight from their garden or farm. It truly felt like farm-to-table in the most authentic way. You’re completely immersed in the jungle and wildlife, waking up to the sounds of nature, while still enjoying the comfort of great amenities.Location-wise, it’s the perfect balance of remote and accessible. Red Frog Beach is just a quick 5-minute boat ride away, making beach days easy, and definitely don’t skip a trip to Zapatillos - absolutely worth it and a highlight of our time in Bocas. If you’re looking for a peaceful, authentic, and memorable stay that connects you to nature and amazing hosts, this place is truly something special."

"Beautiful clean room, "

"Property is beautiful and perfect for a very quiet, low-key, rustic beach experience. It was a bit stormy while we were there, so water was very murky and not good for snorkeling or kayaking. Definitely bring your own food and supplies, as there are no stores there, and eating out at the two neighbouring resorts can become very pricey, and they can be hard to book. Sterling was very helpful and quick to respond to all of our questions and requests, although we never saw him in person. Be sure to reach out and ask for what you need! Hilario, Sterling's employee was the one to help us, but the language barrier made it difficult to plan things at times. He did take us to Zapatillas and Coral Caye for snorkeling, which was a lot of fun. "
