The house is gorgeous, the hosts were wonderful, the location was stunning...THE HOSTS:Sunanda and Vincent are the best hosts. Sunanda was always quick to respond to questions, met us at the airport & took us to the dock. Left our bags there while we shopped at 2 close by markets. Went back on day 5 of 10. Vincent was always available during our stay.THE HOUSE:Pictures don't do it justice. The house is stunning. Downstairs is a nice kitchen w/ a bar & 4 stools, dining table fits 10 and a nice living room area. The 3 bedrooms and 2 baths are upstairs. The master suite has a veranda overlooking the sea. The other 2 bedrooms overlook the jungle and served as a great bird blind. Beautiful hardwood throughout. Very open.THE PROPERTY / WILDLIFE:Large back yard surrounded by jungle. Visited by monkeys every couple of days. Lots of birds and fascinating insects. Geckos were regulars in and the around the house. The front is as beautiful of a view of the Caribbean as you can imagine. Truly mesmerizing and ever changing with lighting, time of day and weather. Most days were clear enough to see the mountains of the Panamanian mainland.THE ENVIRONMENT / AREA:We saw sloths, baby monkeys, lizards, frogs and butterfly's on jungle / beach walks. Being associated with Al Natural Resort allows guest to have dinner and go on a variety of excursions. Vincent is an excellent chef and Michel texted me daily about upcoming activities. Snorkeling at Zapatillas was awesome.

Our family of 4 spent three amazing days in this beautiful, spacious home—the perfect setting for both relaxation and adventure. The remote location offers a peaceful escape, while the nearby Al Natural resort provides plenty of excursion options to keep things exciting. We loved swimming off the dock, exploring the beaches, and unwinding on the porch. Whether spreading out for some quiet time or gathering together, the house offered the ideal balance. We opted for dinner at Al Natural for 2 of our evenings, and the meal was fresh and delicious. Communication with the host was seamless and she met us at the airport and provided some last minute details. A truly unforgettable stay!

Stay here. It’s stunning. Trip of a lifetime. Thank you Sunanda and Vincent for everything!

First of all, the hosts are great, and the house is beautiful, we had a great vacation time! One of the hosts, Vincent, also speaks French :) You will be on the beach, beautiful water, snorkeling with plenty of fish nearby. You have internet access in the house. The personnel at Al Natural is great too, and helpful. There was supposed to be a cleaning lady at least once, but there was none. We saw lots of beautiful corals, fishes, we saw dolphins, monkeys, sloths, birds, little bats, big butterflies, no caiman, no snakes. What you need to know: - The house is not located near wizard beach as the map shows, you will be much much further south in Punta Vieja = big difference! Compared to Wizard Beach, you won't have mobile signal, will not be able to easily go back to Bocas for activities, groceries, and that changed our planning completely. The host will offer boat trips to Bacos at any time, and at a fee, but not the 1$-5$ of a taxi boat from Bocas to Wizard beach, so plan for that budget too, - The fisherman were suppose to pass by, or you go and see them, but that never happened. The trick is to ask the host's captain, Marvin to get you a fish from a fisherman, which we did at the end of the trip, so we had one day left with fish for a week :( - You can count on them to show up on time for boat rides, but I strongly recommend to remind them1 hour before your ride to return to Bocas if you have a flight, as we almost missed ours, as they had forget for the first time.. - If the knives don't cut, I would recommend you bring them to the restaurant so they sharpen them ;) - You will get sandflies (like mosquitos) bits, some more than others, so bring bug repellant. - The price of activities are ok, but always with additional hidden fees that were not mentioned, so make sure you have cash with you when you go. Overall, this was a great rental, great hosts, and an amazing vacation away on an isolated island.
