Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Bocas del Toro

Loved the location, it’s close to town, but also close to the rest of the island, a very happy medium point. Absolutely beautiful Airbnb with everything you need, Sterling and Rebecca were awesome and I’d stay here again.

Abracadabra was a wonderful place to stay in Bocas. We were a family of four, two adults a 6 year old and a baby. Very clean with all the necessities for cooking. We enjoyed the feeling of being in the jungle. We were visited by monkeys and hummingbirds and saw a toucan on the property. It is a very close walk to Bluff Beach which is postcard perfect. Walkable to many restaurants nearby. Bluff beach is not great for swimming or surfing but nice for walking and relaxing. All Bocas activities leave from town which is a 20-30 min drive. We rented a car but taxis are easily called. Although it meant a bit of a trip to town every time we wanted to do an adventure, it was worth it to feel the nature and seclusion of Bluff Beach at the start and end of each day. Nicole was extremely helpful and answered all our questions. Highly recommend this stay if you don’t mind the journey to and from town to get to all other Bocas experiences.

I pretty much have traveled all over the world and this is my favorite place I’ve ever stayed in. The balconies are beautiful and spacious. The pool area was perfect, kitchen is big if you like to cook. The little dock is so peaceful. It’s very peaceful and quiet but not too far from other restaurants and bars. The little beach bar next door is adorable with decent food and great drinks. We loved skully’s bar which was about a 15 minute walk down the road. To get into town is very easy. We used Jose’ as our taxi driver which was recommended by Connor. Also, I highly recommend getting a private boat for the tours of the other islands. Connor gave us a good recommendation. Bogo was our captain and he took us wherever we wanted to go. I don’t usually go back to same destination twice but I will definitely be back here again.

My son and I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Bluff Jungle House Laurel, and I can confidently say it was a slice of paradise that surpassed all my expectations! Nestled in the jungle, this two-story home provided the perfect mix of serenity and comfort. The exceptional service from the entire team truly made our stay memorable. Antonio was incredibly helpful and a lifesaver, while Mayra, the co-host, and Wendy, who attended to our service needs, were always ready to fulfill any requests, whether it was cleaning or laundry, making us feel completely at home. The house itself was spotless and well-designed, offering a sense of privacy that made it feel like our own secluded oasis. You genuinely feel as though you're in your own world here, with neighbors barely visible. My stay was filled with unforgettable memories that I will cherish forever. If you're seeking a tranquil retreat in a breathtaking location, look no further—this is the perfect destination!

My husband and I came to Panama for the first time along with another couple. The house was perfectly appointed, so much so that we all felt like we could live there permanently. The photos scarcely do the place justice. The large porch was fabulous and we spent much of the time there. The beds were comfortable and it was easy to take a water taxi where you needed to go. Steve, the host, gave great recommendations. Pat attention to his instructions if you are staying here. Everyone made us feel very welcome. Tera and Jesse, the owners were so gracious and hospitable. I highly recommend this if you are looking for a place off the beaten path and outside of Bocas Town.

Our little family lives every moment spent at the villa! We felt an amazing combination of luxury and home like feeling. Everything was clear, clean, well thought through! Morgan went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing stay. HIGHLY recommend! Thank you for the amazing stay!

The Jungle House at Playa Bluff was a great getaway destination for our 2 families, with 4 adults and 6 children, ages 4-11. The pool was great and the sleeping arrangements worked well for us. There is a decent kitchen, but we mostly ate at nearby restaurants or on our daily adventures. The house is about a 25 min taxi ride from the main town and the road can get soupy, but any of the truck taxis can easily get to the house. The beach is stunning, although not great for swimming with rip tides and currents. The host was super responsive to all questions and I would highly recommend this house. We even saw sloths and monkeys right around the house.

We had a fantastic time ! We will be back

It's a lovely hotel with friendly staff and a great location.

Very nice place! The photos don’t do justice. About a 10 minute walk from the “main strip”. Very big rooms, two bathrooms. There is also a washing machine which was ideal! Any problems and you get communication straight away!

5 amazing days Alex was very responsive, very present, considerate. The place is superb, between land and sea, splendid view, the cottage is so amazing, a real little cocoon, the little kitty 🐈‍⬛ comes by every day, hugs kisses. We love it The large bathroom, 2 large bedrooms with A/C, very large living space, well-equipped kitchen. It has everything. Close to restaurants ( ciao pizza I recommend ) Taxi just down to take you to town in 10 minutes, $3 per person to town, taxis are also great. To conclude, Alex's Airbnb is really awesome! Ps: beware of guiboles we go up slightly, it's on a small hill but you will take your eyes full!

It was a pleasant stay! We loved the view and the beach close by! :) I loved the talk I had wi the Lily she was very friendly and we realized me and her are probably relatives! Hahaha My partner and I really enjoyed this stay! Thanks again!

My experience in this stay was excellent. The place is as shown in the photos: clean, comfortable and ideally located. The host was very attentive, always willing to help and provide local recommendations. I felt at home from the start. I would definitely recommend and would come and stay here again on future visits. Thank you for everything!

We had a pleasant stay at Ricardo's and his family's. La casita is located on their property in a beautiful garden. The neighborhood is quiet and yet 12 minutes by taxi or scooter from Bocas. You have the small restaurant Dosha 3 min walk which is excellent or Skully's 5 min walk which will also allow you to rent scooters, quad bikes, bikes etc… Ricardo is a great host. He was very responsive, considerate, friendly while respecting our privacy. It even allowed us to arrive well before check-in and leave well after check-out! Thanks again Ricardo;-)

Beautiful balcony view! Amazing host! :)

Camila’s place was beautiful! She was a wonderful communicator and I absolutely loved my stay!

Danielle's place is perfect, very clean, comfortable, is completely quiet during the night, the internet is fast.. it has everything you need for a nice stay. But the most important aspect is the location. It's basically in Colon's central area, you have the supermarket about 2 blocks, restaurants of all kind, the airport is just 3 blocks distance. This is the most perfect location, we will definitely return.

This was our second time staying at this place and it will definitely remain our first choice every time we return to the island. The location is excellent, the space is comfortable, clean and well cared for, and the host is always aware that everything is perfect. We felt at home. Thanks for another wonderful stay!

The place was as expected or better, the location is fantastic because it's in the center area but still not too close to the noisy places, being on the 3rd floor helped. I'd go back to Dea's place, no question about it. There are cheaper and more expensive options around but I think this is a very good sweet spot, everything was clean, we felt safe and comfortable at all times! We had no trouble with the stairs but keep in mind that if you go with someone who has difficulty walking, going up to the 3rd floor where the condo is will be a challenge, we were totally ok with that and as long as you have no mobility impediments, the place is easy to get to. There was a minimal confusion about the locking mechanism at the front door, the bottom locker was loose and we thought it would be a problem but Dea was very responsive and explained how to use the top locker, which was totally fine and eased all our worries. I would recommend it and come back as well.

Bill was a gracious host and knew the island like the back of his hand. I would 1000% recommend his place to anyone looking to come to Bocas. He’s is extremely helpful and accommodating. Thanks!
