We visited Panama for the second time, and once again, we absolutely loved it. While looking for a beautiful place to stay, we came across this little hidden gem 💍– and what a find it was! Arrival & Welcome We were picked up by a private boat and warmly welcomed. The boat ride took around 45 minutes and was truly enjoyable. Along the way, we received interesting information about the surrounding islands – and even spotted dolphins! Upon arrival, we were greeted with a delicious welcome cocktail before our first meal. Such a lovely touch!☀️😍 Room The room was spacious and very comfortable. We’ve seen a lot of bathrooms throughout Panama, and many of them lack a proper shower. But here – the shower was fantastic! Great water pressure and lovely hot water – such a treat. :) Breakfast Breakfast was amazing. The host really listened to our preferences, and I was thrilled to have my fried egg every morning – along with fresh fruit and avocado. A perfect start to the day! Lunch Lunch was absolutely delicious – we had shrimp with coconut rice and plantains. A real taste of local cuisine that felt authentic and lovingly prepared. Dinner The highlight of our meals was definitely pizza night on our last evening! It was such a fun, communal experience with homemade pizza in creative and tasty varieties. So cool – and honestly, unforgettable. Surroundings The water around the property was crystal clear – it felt like swimming in a private aquarium. We saw a small shark, a stingray, colorful fish, and more – all right in front of our room. I’m usually a bit hesitant in the water, but here, I felt completely safe and at ease. The trees, the light, the tranquility – I can’t even describe how beautiful it was. Truly one of my personal highlights – such peace and connection with nature. Activities The hosts’ children were incredibly kind and welcoming.

    The price is very cheap, especially for a private room. Hostel was pretty quiet and chill. Kitchen was well equipped and there’s plenty of refrigeration space. Staff were helpful. Located very close to restaurants, bars, clubs and boat taxi harbours.

    It was just lovely and Gabriel was the most fantastic host. He couldn't do enough to help and was utterly charming. The room was a good size and clean. The breakfast was delicious with fresh fruit and a very tasty omlette.

    Very nice accomodation with great hosts, good cocktails, great pool, big garden and great food. The host built the whole thing by themselves, which is very impressing. We stayed at the big bungalow and it was simply perfect. If you want to relax and calm down this is the place to be. Food is not cheap but very good! I can totally recommend this place and would love to stay there again pretty soon!

    Sandrine was a great host, she made amazing breakfast in the morning with crepes and fresh fruit. Having breakfast with a beautiful view was the highlight of our stay :) The rooms were clean and spacious, with all amenities. There was always fresh drinking water available. There are bicycles that you can borrow that makes it very easy to get to restaurants/groceries/etc. We really enjoyed our stay and recommend Villa Amaya 10/10.

    Sally and Mike are great hosts! Very friendly, very helpful, it was an amazing stay overall. The whole place is very cosy, comfortable, rooms and bathrooms are very spacious, clean and cute and with AC! You can also borrow snorkle and kayak and rent bikes and they give you great tips on places to visit nad eat. The best place for a 'honeymoon' stay in Bocas if you look for a quiet place where you can jump in the water right after breakfast :)

    One of the best all round apartments I’ve ever stayed in, particularly on an island. Extremely well equipped with lots of thoughtful touches around the place to make the stay as comfortable as possible. Great location, quiet but near everything. Brilliant host! Very friendly and helpful person who will go out of her way to make everything perfect for your stay and give advice on what to do/where to go. The bikes included with the apartment were also a big bonus for getting around the island.

    We had a perfect stay at Saigon Bay B&B. Comfortable and clean rooms, amazing breakfasts, great location over the water with lovely outdoor space, we could use bikes, a kayak and snorkelling gear to explore the island. Angie and Nicolas are great hosts. Always ready to help and super friendly and attentive. We’re definitely coming back here when visiting Bocas again. Thanks for everything!
