Summary: A perfect combination of private accommodations with access to a personal captain to travel to some of the amazing places the area has to offer. Plenty of wildlife including: Dolphins, starfish, sloths, monkeys, geckos, many types of fish and birds. Access to the kayaks and paddleboards was great too. Amazing how calm the water was a certain times of the day.

Summary: I had a wonderful time staying in Casa del Mar. From the moment we arrived at the airport we were guided and assisted by Erika. I really appreciated Erika's guidance in the grocery store as she helped me purchase the items for Jose's (the house chef) meal. Once we were dropped off at the house everything we needed was available to us from lounge pants to keep the bugs off to the rainboots, snorkel gear and kayaks.We went on a few tours which were arranged for us by Erika but I would have been just as happy staying on the property. The snorkeling off of the deck was a delight.We felt wonderfully taken care of and would recommend the house and family of caretakers (Erika, Katerin, Jose and Jose-Maria). Everyone was truly lovely. Thank you all.

Summary: The view from the house is breathtaking! We were so impressed with all the extras that were available and Included, paddle boards, kayaks, water shoes, hiking boots, snorkels and masks, all the kitchen extras including coffee, and cooking spices, even coconut oil to help protect against the no-see-ums. Pick up from Bocas was so well arranged, and very convenient, and they gave a wonderful tour of the house to get you settled. We definitely took advantage of the chef services which were delicious! We had an in home massage that was so relaxing right on the front deck with the amazing afternoon breeze that comes in everyday.Some of the best snorkeling right off the deck!! So good we didn’t even go diving on this trip. We had one very overcast night, and we could swim and see the bioluminescent right in front of the house. The hiking trails in the back of the house are phenomenal! We saw several sloths and howler monkeys. Every morning we got a glimpse of dolphins commuting near by and green parrots squawking by as they leave their nesting areas. Access to use Papa Jose/boat captain was wonderful! Not only is it incredibly convenient, takes away any stress, but he is great company as well! Highly recommend the chocolate tour, and the bat cave tour!

Summary: Paradise on earth is that too much. The home was lovely, the amenities were great, the views were beautiful.the staff were so amiable, responsive, and professional. We hired the boat captain to take us to monkey island and zapatilla #2. It was a beautiful day. We hired the chef to cook for us for two nights, and we could not have enjoyed a better meal anywhere else. The food was amazing! We went into Bocas del Toro and it was a cute town but most of our time was spent at Casita Del Mar. You could do some snorkeling and use the paddle boards/kayaks from the house and they offered boots for a hike. We opted for a short hike. The water off the dock was shallow and I went into the water but you would have to go further to snorkel which put you into the boat traffic. I opted not too. What I did love was all the fishes you could feed off the dock, so much fun. Rooms were beautiful and large tub was amazing. Shower had great water pressure. Just to be clear there’s no AC but a fan was supplied. But it was hot. And the sand flies are pretty annoying, the next day after being bitten. Picardin seemed to work well the first day. They also supplied coconut oil as a repellent. I would also have treated the clothing with some Permethrin Fabric treatment to use as a repellent. In spite of these two small inconveniences, it was amazing stay, and so thankful for the opportunity to enjoy a once in a lifetime experience.

Summary: This house is a true gem. We absolutely loved being able to snorkel, kayak, and SUP straight from the dock. We also enjoyed walking the trails behind the house. We woke up each morning to the sound of jungle birds and howler monkeys, were greeted by dolphins mid morning, and even experienced the bioluminescent plankton at night. The house was equipped with everything you could possibly need, even water shoes, rubber boots to hike in, and bug spray.

Summary: If you’re a snorkeler looking for that place you can go every day right from your front deck, this is for you. Every morning a natural alarm clock of hundreds of parrots flying from their nesting area to their daytime area woke us as the sun came up. Every morning we looked out the window and felt we would never get tired of the view and felt the peace of the place. Most striking is the quiet, no cars or airplanes. Motorboats occasionally go by but mostly every morning just a string of people in handmade canoes would pass by silently on their way to work or school. We would greet them and they would greet us back. At night the parade would go the other direction. The stars are brilliant at night because there’s very little light pollution. If you’re lucky enough to experience a storm, the rain and lightning is fascinating. Be sure to visit the chocolate farm. Its a short boat ride and well worth the time. Its not really just a chocolate farm. Its an incredible environmental experience with some cocoa trees and items for sale at the end. The owner is very knowledgeable and outgoing about everything. We saw our first of five sloths that day before we even got off the dock. The walk was strenuous for me, some uphill and downhill, but walking sticks and help were available if needed. I would do it again in a heartbeat. The entire support staff made us feel taken care of and part of the community. I could go on forever. Lovely place.

Summary: Not only is this situated on the heart of Dolphin Bay, it's quiet, spacious and well thought out. Plenty of towels and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. When we had an issue with the fridge not getting cold enough, Katerine sent someone out the next morning to fix it. Dolphins everyday, the best reef right out the front door, and spectacular sunrises. A wonderful week!

Summary: We had a great vacation. Everything listed was accurate and we had beautiful views! Def recommend
