Great location, great place.

We had a great two week stay in Casa Chocolate. The deck was our living room, what a great scene. I would say that this house is probably the best equipped house we have had the pleasure of staying in. The location is perfect, backing into the jungle but a short walk to the beach. Your caretaker is Javier. What a helpful nice guy he is, full of information. We rented bikes from him for the duration and booked a tour to the Zapatilla islands with his Uncle Moy. Bocas town is about 15 minutes down the road by bike. Keep an eye open in the trees and on the ground around the house. We were fortunate enough to not only have the Howler Monkeys come for lunch in the tree directly behind the house but also to get to see Toby the resident Caiman in the ditch behind the house also and a sloth just hanging around. Five minutes down the roadway is a man made lake which is a nice stroll. The house has all the things you need, we very much appreciated the washer and dryer after spending three damp days in tents on one of the local islands prior to getting to the house. Make the effort and ride the bikes out to Playa Bluff, you'll find some great food and drinks there. In town we enjoyed Lili's, Buena Vista, RAW sushi bar, Maycuna,El Casbah, and Barracuda. Have Javier cut you down a coconut and make yourself a blended rum smoothie or if you are cooking in he will offer up some fresh cilantro, and peppers from his garden. Booking the house and making the payments is a smooth process, no problems at all.We were well taken care of including a pick up and drop off to and from the airport. Rent this place and relax you will love it.
