Smoking-friendly vacation rentals in Bocas del Toro Archipelago

This was a great place to stay during our visa update from Costa Rica. The shopping was very good. Prices are much better than in Costa Rica. Taxi service was fantastic. They were quick polite and cheap. The unit was clean and ready. Nice little kitchen, that we did not use. We just went out to eat. Yamileth was a very good host. Everything went fine.

this place has great views, direct access to the sea for daily snorkels or kayaking, or just swimming. the sun is relentless here, so bring lots of sunscreen. the place is remote and isolated. you have to take a water taxi to get anywhere out of the resort. the hostess will cook your meals to order. the room has no AC, no TV and it is truly meant for disconnecting and relaxing, enjoying the fresh sea air. during the evening there are these little bigs that bite called chitras and there are tiny lizards as well diring the evening. all part of being in the tropics and being close to the jungle. i really enjoyed myself in paradise.

Maya is a wonderful host; she could not have been kinder or more welcoming. The location is remote! But the use of a kayak was great: we were able to paddle to a nice beach and there were more facilities in the same area.

Thank you so much for everything!! It was a beautiful stay and everything was perfect. I recommend this place 100%.

I loved my short stay at Heiner’s property! I was sad to have only booked one day. Heiner and his onsite staff were very friendly and attentive. This unit is one of four rooms and is located a brief 5 min water taxi from the main island. It is the perfect location to feel secluded by still have access to town. If you decide not to venture into town, there is an amazing onsite restaurant. High quality and tasty food at a very reasonable price. Already planning a future stay!

Wonderful place, wonderful host, very welcoming. It feels like home. I recommend it to others

Migena was very attentive to my needs and very social able. The tenants in this building are also really friendly and open to meeting. This place is in a good, central location and located right next to the delicious restaurant Octo. I really enjoyed my time here and am looking forward to coming back!

We had a great stay at Aquí Hoy. We would definitely recommend it for a secluded get away!

The house is spectacular. In the details you can see the love with which it has been decorated over the years. It's super cozy and comfortable. The atmosphere is relaxed and peaceful. Easy and fast communication with Alexander. We look forward to returning soon. Thank you

Beautiful place on the water. Very peaceful with great snorkeling off the deck!!

Clodine was absolutely wonderful and a great host. Helped us with everything we needed. Her place is like a Bohemian oasis full of art and trinkets. She is free spiritied and it shows in the place. Don't stay here expecting the 4 Seasons. It is a well located place right on the water. The added breakfast service was great. Staying here helped us to understand how people here live in unison with the land. We saw how wasteful we are here in America. It was a great experience. Clodin gets an A!

It is a beautiful home for a big family to stay in, and it is easy to move around the island from the location. It is a secured area with private parking. We had a grate time.

We had a great stay at Steve’s house on Isla Carenero. The house was beautiful, clean, spacious and had everything you need for your stay. The deck was great to relax and enjoy the view. We also enjoyed using the included kayaks several times during our stay. Steve was extremely helpful with anything we needed and called our water taxis for us. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks Steve!

We truly enjoyed our stay at Casa Serena and can't say enough good things about the house and all of Marcela's attentions with our family. It was our first time visiting and it can be overwhelming planning a trip like this one and Marcela was so kind and gracious to make recommendations for tours, transporting our rental car, etc. The house is exactly as pictured and so spacious for a large family. We can't thank you enough!!

We just spent several days at Casa Piedra and loved every second we were there! pick up from the dock in town was easy and the location in Dolphin Bay is beautiful! The house sits on top of a small hill and takes in the surrounding views and the breeze. We were greeted by the property care taker and he made sure we had everything we needed and explained how everything in the house worked! We spent hours kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling. The gardener stopped by and offered us a guided walking tour through the jungle. The property has all types of fruit growing fresh! From the dock we saw dolphins in the bay nearly every night. We stayed during a new moon and were able to experience the bioluminescence in the bay. Sit on the dock at night and kick you feet and watch the water light up like twinkling stars! The beds were comfortable. There is a full time kitchen so stop at one of the stores in town and get some of your favorites! There is a tv but we never even attempted to turn it on! The owners were incredible! They were very easy to communicate with and offered suggestions on things to do and see. They provide a list of contacts at the house for any excursion you could possibly want! The hosts, Brian and Amy own a neighboring resort and were also incredible in offering any assistance, suggestions and answering any questions we had. We actually had dinner at their place on evening and the food was amazing! The combination of everything was just perfect! We will definitely be back!

Olivia’s place is as amazing as she is! She was so helpful, friendly and very responsive. The house is perfect for viewing wildlife - we saw sloths every day in the trees in the yard! Walkable to many places to eat and explore or relax at the beach. The house is off grid so we had power and hot water even when our friends nearby didn’t. Great WiFi, fully stocked kitchen. We even enjoyed refilling the hummingbird feeder on the porch to watch them constantly come and go! Helpful info: It’s about a $20ish taxi to get to town depending on number of people from the house or you can take a little bus that leaves from Bom Bom.
