In the 21 countries that I've traveled, this is in my top-3 places I've ever stayed in my life. I am still traveling, so this initial review will be short. I'll have to come back and edit this when I get back home because it is one of those experiences that just keeps coming back to you with more and more memories that keep putting a smile on your face. Mandy and JP have created something magical. My wife, three boys, and I were happy, relaxed, at peace, having fun, well fed, and well informed on where to go during our five days in Bocas. Every detail of Casa Acuario was perfect. Every recommendation from JP and Mandy on what to do whas spot on. There are no photos that can do this property and these hosts justice. Just book it.

Perfect spot on the water
We just got back from a 10 day stay at this inn that was amazing. The beds were comfortable, the view was awesome and the inn keepers(Elia and Edgar) were great. They made our stay extremely enjoyable. The water taxis are available almost anytime of day right off the dock in front and all the other islands are within 2 to 10 minutes from the inn by water taxi. The only thing I can think that would make it better is to have a ladder on the dock to get in and out of the water but no complaints here.

Melhor lugar para se hospedar em bocas del toro
O quarto é perfeito, tudo em volta é mar. Água linda e cristalina por toda a parte. As instalações em si fazem você se sentir no melhor lugar do mundo! Tudo muito simples e bonito como deve ser uma casa na praia.
