Las Casitas of Villa Paraiso / Beachfront with Private Pool

Las Casitas of Villa Paraiso celebrate its Caribbean surroundings and invite you to enjoy the beachfront lifestyle. Wake up to the soothing sounds of the calm ocean, enjoy the warm Caribbean water or soak in the sun on the soft sand beach in front of the Villas.
The villas were carefully designed for friends traveling together or for families. The two separate villas provide comfort and solitude, while the pool & lounge, and outdoor kitchen, allow for creating memories together.

Loved the palm trees surrounding us, the gentle sound of the surf nearby, and the family gathering to cook on an outside hearth.

This is an amazing property with AC, pool and right on the beach. Angie, Steve and Connor were great with any issues we had and recommendations for tours. I would definitely recommend staying here for a lovely beach vacation and hope to be back soon.

My husband and I traveled with my brother and his wife and this was the perfect setup. Two separate accommodations to give us privacy yet all together. The pool is wonderful and a great bonus! Angie and her team were such wonderful people to talk with. I can't say enough about this place and I highly recommend it to anyone!

What a place! From the property itself to the hospitality we received, it was the most awesome experience! Angie, Steve and Connor made sure we had everything we needed and more. My only regret was that we did not have a longer stay. We will definitely be back!

We had the pleasure of staying for 6 days and it was such a great experience. The location is perfect, just close enough to town, but extremely quiet and safe. The home is even better in person than in the pictures. Communication was awesome and we do recommend the boat captions - he was just a pleasure and well priced. We're already planning our return for next June. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

The property itself is flawless with every detail thought about. Each member of their wonderful family has been so polite and welcoming. We took a boat tour with their son, Wes, and he didn't disappoint. I would highly recommending staying at their property and taking a day boat trip with Wes for the perfect vacation. -Chelsea

We just came back from a week at Villa Paraiso. It was heavenly! The Villa was very comfortable The air conditioning worked great! The view was spectacular. We did two boat trips with Wes that were fantastic. We saw so many sloths and starfish! He knows how to avoid the crowds to make your trip special. The Cotrell family made you feel so welcome. We will definitely be back!

We loved the two Casitas with a pool directly on the beach. Located halfway between Bocas town and Playa Bluff, it was easy to step out our gate and catch a taxi in either direction. Stayed eight days and we never ate the same place twice. Really loved exploring all the fabulous restaurants between Paunch and Playa Bluff. Each casita was very comfortable and it was nice having the small kitchen to do light duty breakfast so we could relax by the pool before we started our day. Our hosts even helped arrange a boat tour. Couldn’t have asked for a finer place to stay. Can’t wait to visit again next year!

Great property great owners …. Super helpful whatever you need just ask them…. If your looking for a quiet private beach to unplug from the world this is your place… they have a Captian to take you fishing and or visit the many islands …. great internet so can do anything you need .. I rented a vehicle so super easy to get around …and taxis are everywhere…. . Bocas del toro town is awesome and this property is located just far enough away…. Great stay thanks Angie and Steve

We stayed at Las Casitas with our two boys and the setup was perfect. The beach front location was amazing, as well as the private pool in the middle. Having the two separate casitas within a gated area allowed us to have the kids close by while having our own private accommodations at the same time. Steve, Angie and family are great hosts and provide the right balance of being available while giving their guests privacy at the same time. We did the one day private boat tour with Wes and the boys loved exploring the islands, seeing sloths and other creatures and checking out some of the local snorkeling spots. We plan to return one day soon and would love to stay here again!

This place was very serene and clean. The pool was comfortable and convenient. We took taxis every day into and out of town. We never had any trouble finding one by walking outside. If you travel the other way, there are some cool quieter restaurants and beaches. I would get up and walk or bike that way each morning before everyone woke up. It was a nice start to each vacation day. Great location and great property!

We could not have stayed at a better place! We had the whole beach to ourselves, the family and property manager were so nice and helpful and this is the definition of location, location, location. The location is perfect and the property is impeccable. The casitas are so cute, comfy and well equipped with everything we needed. We cooked breakfast at the outdoor kitchen most mornings, which was so fun! Our boat drivers picked us up right off the beach and it’s really easy to grab a cab anywhere you want to go. We’re already working on when we can go back. We will definitely be returning customers!!

Our stay was absolutely amazing! I can honestly say you guys have thought of everything to make your guest feel comfortable, safe & spoiled! There were no surprises. Everything was exactly as in the pictures. Your family is so blessed to a your own piece of paradise! I look forward to returning one day with my kids! Thank you! P.S you mom's brownies are the best!

This is our second time back to Bocas and staying at this amazing place. Trust the other reviews and know this place is PERFECT! The beach access is is literally steps away from the the Casitas and is perfect for wading/swimming. The rooms/bathrooms are extremely clean and perfect size for a nice get away. The location is perfect as you have your own secluded area and are minutes away form downtown (via taxi, the bikes they provide or ATV rental). The restaurants are really good and the owners give recommendations, which were spot on. The owners take great pride in their property and do a first class service to keep very well maintained, answer any questions you have and give recommendations for food, activities ect. We have toured the island significantly and there is truly no other place we would stay in Bocas. Can't wait to go back!!!

10/10

This is a beautiful and immaculate property. The owners are very conscientious and helpful, they keep this property in perfect condition. The location couldn't be better, in a private and quiet area on a beach but still close enough to town! We rented the Casitas with private pool for 1 week and did all the best of Bocas. They have bikes for a short ride to Scully's bar and restaurant, or a cheap taxi ride takes you to town, $2 per person. Rent quads from Steve at Scully's for an extreme adventure of a lifetime. Take a private boat tour with Wes, the Casitas owner's son. He is a wonderful and adventurous guide. Visit the bat caves in Bastimentos with him for an epic underground spelunking adventure!

10/10

Amazing property, pool and beach. Even more amazing property manager (Jemima, subbing in for the owners)so nice and always available! We had so much fun on Isla Colon!! Biking (ebikes thru Flying Pirates, Mike was incredibly awesome!) Four wheeling thru Skully’s, the best! Not a group tour (just the way we like it) private thru the jungle and shoreline. The town, Bocas del Toro maybe not for everyone. Pretty simple…the town (not our house) ran out of water for a few days (and cash at ATM’s). However, we loved it and would go back in a heartbeat!! Huge kudos to Connor Contrell and family!!!

The best place to stay on Isla Colon!! We stayed 9 nights at Las Casitas and had lots of time to explore and talk with all sorts of people. It became pretty clear about 3 or 4 days into our stay that we had THE best place to stay. Private and secure grounds kept clean and neat by the gardener, private pool, private beach on the Caribbean!! Plus a great bed/bath combo with tons of room and an outdoor kitchen/eating area. Wow. There were 5 of us in our group, two adults took one side and the three teenagers took the other, plenty of room, and plenty to do. Easy taxi ride or bike ride into town and easy access to the many awesome beaches outside of town. The arrangement of the buildings affords perfect privacy but still very close by to the Cottrells if you need anything. We can't wait to return!!

Our entire stay was incredible. Although the weather was not great, there was lots to do even with the rain and overcast skies. Steve welcomed us with gracious hospitality, and walked us through all the things to do while we were here. I strongly suggest listening to his recommendations for an incredible vacation.

One must take the time to spend the day on the water with Wes. He is an incredible young man, knows the water as well, and will treat you to a day you will never forget. All in all a great choice, and we will come back .

We stayed a couple other places before and this Villa just blew us away! The place is just gorgeous. I loved the inside of the apartment because it has high end touches and felt like real luxury. Our previous place was the same price but everything was cheap and falling apart. Also, the AC??!!!! Can you ask for more? Of course the pool, outdoor kitchen, and beach were amazing, but we are a bit spoiled when it comes to good sleep in a comfy place. The hosts were very helpful and super kind. We felt safe and welcomed. They provided lots of tips and recommended many different things. Bugs were not an issue so you can really utilize the outdoor spaces. Totally worth your money and time. It was just spectacular.

What an awesome place to have a relaxing enjoyable time! We spent 3 days in March with our kids in the Casitas. This is the third time we have stayed at Villa Paraiso and once again it was amazing! There are so many things that we love about this place that it's almost impossible to list them all. It's so nice to have a private beach but at the same time be just a five minute taxi ride from town. Everything is in excellent condition! The room, pool, gardens, beach, and everything is extremely CLEAN and well-kept. Us and our kids loved having the pool and the beach. The Cottrell family that owns this place are the perfect mix of everything. They're extremely friendly, nice, and helpful, yet they are always very careful to be sure and give you your space and privacy. We have had their son Wes and Chief Chris cater food and every time it was above and beyond good. We definitely recommend staying here above any other place we have seen on the island!

I cannot give enough stars for this property!!! We stayed with another couple for a week and had an AMAZING time!! OWNERS- The Cottrell family are amazing hosts!! From the greeting, to property explanation, availability, craftsmanship of the property, etc. the place is absolutely wonderful!! The groundskeeper even provided us with some fresh coconuts and had wood piled up on the beach so we could have a bonfire once night. We even invited Steve and Angie (owners) tom come over one night to join us and they brought some great dessert! PROPERTY- The two casitas provided a perfect complement of being able to hang out with our friends but also had the feel of your own private residence. The grounds were manicured beautifully and provided privacy. You are literally steps from the ocean! The pool door leads right out onto your own private beach which was wonderful! All the necessities are provided i.e. A/C, ceiling fans, coffee maker, refrigerator, kitchenette/blender in the pool area, beautiful shower/bathroom etc. You truly felt like you had your own private property on the beach! ACTIVITIES- We rented ATV's from Flying Pirates for the week and would highly recommend it! . We did some wonderful site seeing in the jungle, hung out on a secluded beach for an afternoon, saw howling monkeys and utilized them to drive into town to get groceries and go out for dinner. Bocas Town is a low key surfer town and you will see hikers backpacking throughout Panama. The people are very nice and there are plenty of dining/bars in town and right on the water. There are also plenty of tour operators running daily excursions i.e. dolphin watching, snorkeling, private beaches etc. The Cottrell's son actually has his own boat right next door and will take you out on customized private excursions, you don't even have to leave the property to get picked up! FOOD- The food was great!! We actually ate at two Indian restaurants and they were really good! We also had food catered in...yes, Chris (the chef) prepared several meals and brought them right to our door. He did a wonderful job with ribs, seafood, pasta etc. It was definitely worth it after a long day on the beach or out in the jungle! I sincerely can't say enough about this place and we will be back! I'm sure I have forgotten some positive things so PLEASE contact me and I will answer any questions!! Thanks again Cottrell family and we look forward to visiting you again!! Curt W.
