Guest Reviews
- Till Rahlf (10/5): -
- Glenna (10/5): - We loved Turtle Beach House. The pool and grounds were lovely. Olivia was very attentive and helpful. Breakfast was fabulous and prepared fresh each day. Olivia helped us arrange tours and taxis when needed. We enjoyed being away from town and near the gorgeous beach! Highly recommend this property! Nothing
- Sebastian (10/5): Beautiful beach house! - Turtle Beach House is a perfect get away and relax location at a beautiful beach, with lots of wild life around. It’s quite a ride from the main town, but totally worth it! Olivia was a great host, she made us feel home and helped booking different tours and taxis. The breakfast was amazing, fresh fruits and you can choose what you would like to eat. Can not find a thing we did not like about this place! A must stay on Bocas del Toro.
- Susan (10/5): Surfing contest 🏄♀️ - It was close to everything. It had breakfast included. There was great staff and attention to detail.
- Luz Marina (10/5): - Entorno precioso. Muy buén descanso. Limpieza. Amabilidad. A escasos metros de la playa. Cerca de restaurantes. Buén desayuno. La vía para llegar hasta/desde el pueblo de Bocas está horrible, aunque están intentando arreglarla.
- Neale (10/5): If you want a nice peaceful isolated location this is perfect - Location, the staff, Nothing
- Rebeca (9/5): Superb -
- Bartosz (10/5): Exceptional -
- Fabienne (3/5): Perfect location for surfers who want to live in the middle of nature. Beautiful spot, but not for me. - Beautiful house and very nice host. Wet sand road, Not accessible with a regular car, particularly at high tide. Location in the jungle and right on the beach, but the beach is dangerous. No swimming. No windows, so noisy with the ocean and no air conditioning. No hot water. Very remote, no restaurant around.
- Sharon (7/5): Ok stay - Comfortable mattress Nice location Hummingbirds at feeders and other wildlife in garden No choice at breakfast Rundown pool and pool area Dark room
- Boudewijn (8/5): Very good - We liked the beautifull garden, the pool, the location and the owner. She was very informative and always willing to provide us with all kind of information. We had some noise disturbance from a leakage.
- Andre (10/5): Calm and Relaxing! - Loved the first floor balcony with a view over many birds. The garden attracts bird and butterflies. I'm glad there is choices for birds and bees.
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Keith (9/5): Superb - Olivia was a fantastic host. She strikes a great balance between making you feel you’re a family guest and giving you space. Turtle Beach House is literally just off the spectacular beach of Playa Bluff, with a small number of beach bars and restaurants very close. Tranquil and beautiful
- Gretchen (10/5): Olivia was a wonderful host! we loved the deck -
- Mikael (10/5): Great place outside Bocas Town - Nice quiet place close to the beach. You hear the crashing waves. The hostess serves a great homemade breakfast every morning. Only a few rooms so you meet and talk with them all. Three restaurants within walking distance. Only minus that its a bit isolated. Bocas town is only 10 km away but the road along the beach is so bad it takes at least 30 minutes. Taxi cost 15 dollar (20 to the airport for some reason)
- Verified traveler (8/5): Great hosts - The hosts are very friendly and helpful. I had a minor issue in my room and Olivia responded right away and dealt with the issue even though it was later in the evening. Lots of wildlife around! The beach is great for surfing or for strolling around. It is further away from Bocas town and requires a taxi ride charging $20 one way.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Remote everyday escape - We had some wonderful days at the turtle beach house. The stay is remotely located and you need to go by collectivo or taxi (15$/~30Min from Bocas town). The house is lovely located between nature and during our stay we wer able to watch various wildlife - as we were visited by a sloth and his kid during breakfast. The amazing Bluff beach is just outside of the property. If you are looking for some activities, the hosts are happy to support in either direction. If you are asking, Olivia will take care. Thank you for some memorable days and happy 2023!
- Hoover (10/5): had a great week at TBH, Manuel and Olivia provided great recommendations for activities and restaurants in the area -
- Kevin (10/5): Great place, clean and beautiful beach - Excellent location, right in front of a great beach. We feel like we had a private beach. Also a restaurant right next to the hotel.
- Igor (10/5): Best place to stay around Bluff Beach area - Olivia and Manuel are great hosts and provide extraordinary service. Comfortable and well equipped house next to the beautiful beach. Even better than in pictures&description! 😃 -
- Melisa (10/5): Exceptional - Me encantó todo. I love this places. It have a lot of nature and it’s really peacefully. Todo me gustó .
- Greg (9/5): Superb - Hosts, common areas (porch) and location near beach and nature were all outstanding. Excellent services were also nearby within walking distance (food, beachside bar/snacks). Ample breakfast with amazing fresh fruit and coffee was provided each day. Getting to/from the property via a poorly maintained dirt road was the trade-off. Next town was about 25 minutes away. Taxis were easy to reserve, but road was bumpy.
- Reggie (10/5): - Great property on the beach! Comfy room, great breakfast, attentive staff. Olivia took care of all our needs. Beautiful front porch to view birds and relax. Great pool! I would totally go back!
- John (10/5): Perfect Tropical getaway - Wonderful place to get away from it all. Place is what you want for a Carribean beach destination. Owners attended me in a top notch fashion and breakfast was incredible. Will return. Transportation was available but roads are not great. Beach was wonderful.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - In the midst of nature and close to the beach, with a swimming pool
- Kristopher (10/5): We didn't want to leave! - This is an amazing place to stay and the hosts are great!
- Rachael (10/5): Excellent Getaway. Memorable Stay in the jungle. - Everything was great. This place is about 20 mins from the main town. This place made our stay in Boca Del Toro much more special and a little more rugged, exciting and secluded but not alone. You can catch a taxi $15 or bus $3 here. However, the bus only runs until 6pm. Once you arrive, there are a few restaurants in the area. The beach is footsteps away. The Turtle Beach House is gorgeous. One of the best gardens. Truly well kept. The rooms are beautiful, including the natural shower. The breakfast was amazing. Unfortunately, we didn't get to meet the owners, as they had to leave for Holland for two weeks due to family reasons. My husband is Dutch, so it seemed like a good fit. However, we were in good hands with David. We saw a sloth in one of the trees of the Turtle House. You can take the Jungle Hwy, a trail path from the hotel either by foot, bike or 4x4 and explore. This is where we saw more sloths, monkeys and cool birds. The ocean is pretty wild and really enjoyed the crashing waves at night. The only downside was once we checked out, we did not actually plan to leave the area/hotel until the evening on our last day. We wanted to go for a hike and use the pool until we needed to catch our flight. However, currently there is no other common use bathroom to use on the premises after check out. They are only in the guest rooms. We were told there are future plans to add one in the laundry area which would be very beneficial for after check out use.
- Shon (10/5): Relaxing Honeymoon Destination on Bluff Beach - We stayed at the Turtle Beach House for four nights on our honeymoon. When looking for a place in Bocas we wanted to enjoy something near the beach in a quieter area, but what made our time at Turtle Beach House truly special was spending time with Sandra and Dave. Sandra went well out of her way to help book some tours for us and make our stay very comfortable. We had breakfast every morning with them where we had some great conversations. Our room was spacious and clean. We really enjoyed the screened windows in lieu of bug netting around the bed. Bluff Beach was directly in front of the house. Their pool behind the house was great to soak in on a hot day. The front garden had hundreds of flowers and hummingbirds that provided for entertainment. It was low season so a few restaurants in the immediate area were temporary closed but there were still two within a 10 minute walk that provided ample dining options. I would highly recommend staying with Sandra and Dave's Turtle Beach House if you're looking for a relaxing getaway.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Hice hotel clase to the beach - Owners are great people, very friendly, staff was great, rooms were super clan, beach is only meters away.nice pool.
- Mark (10/5): Excellent B&B, remote location - The Accomodations were excellent. Rooms were better than the traveler pics I saw before booking. Sandra and Dave were like meeting old friends right from the start. A great remote B&B perfect for relaxing and unwinding with access to all Bocas has to offer only a cab or bus ride away. The breakfast was excellent as well. Within a 2 minute walk were two restaurants with full bar. Would recommend to all my friends.
- Andre (8/5): Owners make the difference - The owners of this small Bed and Breakfast are great people and make de difference. I recommend it to every one looking for a relaxed time in the beach and far from the city. Owners are very nice and the collective breakfast with the other guests is a plus.
- Yvonne (10/5): Total relaxation - Very nice B&B. Dave & Sandra are excellent hosts and the service is outstanding. The location is perfect with the beach on one side and the jungle on the other. Long beach walks, laying in a hammock, enjoying the swimming pool, and listening to the birds and monkeys is what you can look forward to.
- Camille (10/5): Tropical Paradise - It was perfect for us!!!
- Gareth (10/5): Lovely place right next to a pristine beach. - We stayed a week at Turtle beach and had a fantastic time. If you are thinking of staying here then you need to be aware that it is a good 25 minute taxi ride from Bocas Town, but in return you are away from the hussle and bussle of island life and can enjoy the immense beach which stretches for miles. The sea is not always suitable for bathing or swimming due to strong under tows but if you enjoy doing your own thing and being woken up by the sound of the waves ( or the howler monkeys, or the parrots !) this is ideal.
- Ari (8/5): - Wonderful accommodation and great, friendly hosts. If you are looking for the joys of nature and secluded and remote locations, but also want the comfort and relaxation of a great accommodation, this is the right place to go. The house and rooms are spacious, clean, in great shape and wonderful views.
- Amanda (10/5): Ready to move to bocas! - The most amazing hosts very friendly and delicious breakfasts. Rooms and place so clean and exquisite. The shower is so relaxing and makes you feel right in the jungle! It is a $15 cab ride from town but the bus is $3.50 per person and although it is less regular, they told us they would send a bus for us in the morning when we were leaving and they sent a cab who only charged us bus fare. So my advice is be a bit patient and work it out with the buses! Also, even though they say this is a surf beach it really is not. Waves too strong. Instead, take a lesson from CHAPEAU (the hosts will set it all up for you). He is the most amazing surf instructor ever and even though we usually go out on our own (and not accomplish much) I would travel back to this country just for a lesson from him! Also, the Argentinian dinner a few cabins down is Spectacular! Last tip: the island has tiny flying ants that bite. I left with giant itchy bites on my arms despite bug spray and not using any smelly creams. BRING a cream to relieve itchiness! We can't wait to go back!
- Josiah (10/5): Best Bed & Breakfast around Bocas town - We spent 5 nights here and had a amazing time! Beautiful home and the best hosts you could ask for. The rooms were big and immaculate. Breakfast was different everyday and was delicious. The stay was one of our highlights of our trip.
