Casa Acuario Boutique Hotel

Wonderful property. We were able to dive in the water right outside our door off the deck. Mandy and PJ are wonderful hosts. Breakfast was awesome. Food nearby was awesome. The only knock I would have is that across the channel, the clubs in Bocas Town are loud until 2 AM. Fortunately, Mandy and PJ provide white noise sound bars in the room. We would definitely come back!

The attention to detail and way the rooms and hotel grounds were carefully curated was so unique and beautiful. You could tell a lot of time and effort goes into making sure guests have a unique experience, and I surely did as part of my stay. The location was perfect and easy to get to the main island and other islands within Bocas - not to mention the views over the water were insanely beautiful. The breakfast options in the morning were terrific and all the staff were so helpful and thorough in their duties . The owners were amazing and helped with suggestions on activities, transportation, and overall everything that you needed to know to have a great experience. They were super friendly and helpful, and they made my experience so much better by being just really good people. I’ve already recommended Casa Aquario to friends and family, and I look to go back again in the future. 10 out of 10 experience.

I did not find anything that was negative.

This is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at. Firstly the staff - Mandy, JP and Ariel are all fantastic. They are available for any questions or tips you may have. The breakfast is a reasonable price and is delicious. There is a selection of breakfast cocktails which are great as well. They have drinks and snacks available for purchase. There are some dining options for lunch and dinner on the island which is convenient - especially since you will want to enjoy the hotel! We had a room over the water, epic view of the sunset. The room was clean, A/C worked well, they provide a gallon of water daily (you can request more). You can tell that they put a lot of work into the rooms with all the special touches. There are cooking tools with dishes if you wanted to cook (no need imo - lots of great places within walking distance). Fridge available which was super useful. We received a bottle of sparkling wine for our anniversary which was such a lovely touch. You can make coffee in your room, its also available at the breakfast nook from 630 (so we opted for that). The bed is incredibly comfortable, so you'll definitely be in for a good sleep. They have a small sound machine, and a larger one in the room installed (which was SO helpful) to distract from outside noise. One night it was loud out (since town isn't too far away), but with the sound machine you couldn't hear anything. From the dock its super easy to grab a water taxi. Highly recommend.

We were greeted initially and treated as family the entire visit. No detail was overlooked. We had all the necessities - including white noise machines - in our room. The onsite cafe offered delicious and convenient breakfast. Our hosts were always available to answer questions and to make sure that we had everything we required. Our stay felt luxurious and peaceful. Scenery and snorkeling were amazing.

Everything was great! I had a split second of concern when I arrived at a foreign owned accomodation however, the owners are present, highly invested in the community (it's their home too!) and doing great things such as heading up an island wide trash and recyling initiative. And, they employe several locals.

everything! the house owner Mandy was very helpful in every aspect, very friendly, very attentive, etc. We had a great time while staying there, and the location is paramount to do things in a short time window. I went there with a pregnant wife so that was important for us. The noise of the boats wasn't an issue at all by the way! Hope you guys are doing great!

The owner Mandy and JP are fantastic and have built a dream on water. The overall location and view are awesome.

We had a wonderful room facing the sea, at times the water taxis have been passing by in full speed giving us a feeling being next to a highway. But this is not the owners fault or disturbing too much. Perhaps the Island mayor is putting at one point a speed limit in place when passing by hotels or respectively to ensure a minimum distance.

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.

The hosts and the staff are amazing. Breakfast was excellent. Location is very central, easy to take a water taxi to Bocas. We are travelling with smaller kids (4y/6y), room was perfect for travelling with kids.

LOVE to walk out my door and jump into the water!

Water taxis drive close to the property.
