We had a lovely time at Punta Rica, and in the Bocas area in general. We were a family of 4, with two kids (a teen and a tween). We were the only family there, taking up 2 of the 4 room/suites for 5 nights. All of the wonderful things that other reviewers have said are true. The food prepared... More

We couldn't have been happier with our stay at Punta Rica! Richard and Elena (Collette was in Montreal) helped us plan each day to our liking. No request was too difficult for them. They arranged our private water taxi driver who stayed with us all day and took us wherever we wanted to go. The trek up the hill was... More

We highly recommend Punta Rica. The owner, Richard, has the necessary arrangements worked out for you in advance. He meets you at the airport in Bocas and has a cab lined up to transport you and your luggage the short distance to the boat dock, where he has a boat and driver ready to take you on a short ride...

4 couples have traveled every Feb for 15+ yrs to a warm island. We consider Bastimentos to be our best so far. The first impression is an ahhhh moment, lush thick rainforest, brilliant tropical flowers, a peacefulness that immediately surrounds you as you enter the villa.

The hosts, Richard and Collette, were very hospitable. Collette and her staff went out of their way to accommodate us and to prepare culinary meals. We felt like guests in a beautiful jungle palace.

We came from Chile and spent two weeks. Had an action packed, excursion-filled time. The... More

Our stay at Punta Rica was everything we wished for and more. My girlfriend and I stayed about 6 nights at the Villa, situated across the bay from Bastamiento's town and less than a 10 minute boat ride from Bocas town, so all of our day time excursions were very accessible. The property is situated on a hillside with lush... More

We spent three days at Punta Rica in our visit to the Bocas del Toro area of Panama. From the first moment our visit was relaxing and superb, with the business of our daily lives dissapearing instantly. The place is very beautiful with a tropical garden and big windows that overlook the forest and the sea. It is tastefully decorated... More
