Amazing vacations, just much further south than advertised.
Amazing vacations, just much further south than advertised.
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.

Magic destination from a fairy tale
Magic destination from a fairy tale
This was an incredible location and the pictures don't do it justice. The house is located on a picturesque beach and is not far away form Al natural and Azul paradize (in case you need a stretch or if you want to get a drink, dinner outside or excursion). There are lots of activities and trails in the local salt creek village (15 min away). The house s well designed and is spacious and safe. the wifi access is a short walk of ~5 min away from the house. We felt that we had enough power, water, sizeable fridge for a group of 6. The fisherman passed by the house regularly in their boats and you can buy fresh fish for dinner! The hosts are friendly, accommodating and very helpful. You can easily travel to town if you need to by making arrangements with al naturel resorts for a nominal fee. We saw lots of sloths, birds and animals around the house. The water is warm and the beach is sandy without any rocks -- so the swimming is very enjoyable. Overall our stay was very relaxing, pleasant and restorative. I highly recommend this location and property to others. I would say that staying in this house is more enjoyable, spacious and luxurious then at the nearby hotels. This was the best vacation ever!

Beautiful location with an awesome house. Kids enjoyed the water and paddle boards and my wife and I enjoyed reading and making food! Owners were extremely helpful and made it very easy to get to/from Bocas. Highly recommend for anyone that enjoys being "off-the-grid".

Stunning property & wonderfully welcoming owners!

Our time at Casa Sol Y La Luna was incredible. From the owner, Sunanda meeting us at the airport in Boca and taking us grocery shopping the evening we arrived to the hugs we got from her when we left we always felt welcome and that our needs were important to her. The house: OMG the photos do not do the property justice. We arrived after dark so our first impression was of the home. It is lovely. the rooms are a good size and there are 2 bathrooms (one in the master). Fans are in each bed so there was no worry of being too hot at night. Beds were also very comfortable as were the pillows (I often travel with my own pillow as I'm very particular). When we woke our first morning we were speechless. Just a volley of "OMG" and "wow" from us all. The view is stunning, the beach is beautiful, the locals are friendly, the coconuts are delicious and the water is warm. We saw a sloth, several monkeys and tons of birds. The peacefulness was wonderful. Even our kids (13 and 11 yo) did not want to leave. We recommend this property whole heartedly and would return in a heartbeat.

We have traveled to Bocas several times and are infatuated with Old Point. While it is a bit of a boat ride from town (which we consider a positive) it is a world of its own, with beautiful beaches, water and many natural attractions. The house is really amazing with an open breezy floor plan, full kitchen and direct beach access. The English speaking owners pick you up at the airport and give you time for shopping before heading out to the house. We enjoy cooking, so we bought a bunch of supplies and cooked many of our own meals. There are also several excellent options a short walk down the beach - Al Natural has excellent food and a wonderful staff. Casa Cayuco is another dining/drinking option, but it was closed for vacation while we were there. We didn't get a chance to check out the Zapatilla keys, but they are supposed to be ideal for diving and snorkeling. We will do that next time for sure! We did walk along the many miles of lush beaches in the area - which is pretty much all we need on vacation. If you are looking for more seclusion than town - and nice beaches, this house is a great option (note that beaches are public in Panama so the occasional person walks by). Also, the owners are fabulous and honest. We booked through VRBO and everything went 100% perfect!!!!

We spent six weeks in Costa Rica and Panama with our two young children, and the week that we spent here was our favorite. It is an incredibly beautiful and peaceful location. While the house is open, we had the least trouble with bugs here than we did anywhere else on our trip. I can't explain it, but it is true. The beautiful, glass-like water, perfect for swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking and snorkeling. There is a lovely fishing village with great, fresh bread just a stroll away. I would highly-recommend this location to anyone looking to get away, relax and enjoy nature.
