El Silencio Vacation Rentals

"It was very nice and very serene. Nice little getaway. The water right outside the porch your private porch is great. If you are looking for peace and quiet this is your place. No TV, no fridge no outlets so I just suggest bring some power banks and you can charge at the front desk. The staff was nice and I believe the owners were there too and were super nice. We also got to see a few dolphins swimming close to our bungalow a couple of times. "

"I have never stayed in a place like this - it was so unique! Walking along the pier to the cabin is a treat. Lots of unique fish and colorful plants. And it is even better at night. We saw sea stars, neons, angel fish, barracuda, and a lot more. The cabin itself is both rustic and comfortable, which is hard to do. The two balconies offer amazing views of the bay. You can easily walk to a couple of places on the isthmus. It's about a 20 minute walk to the heart of Bocas town, or an easy cab ride that should cost about $1 per person.The staff were extremely nice. We enjoyed this very much."

"Stayed recently for 4 nights. A beautiful property the street from a pretty beach and just down the street from a more usable beach to spend time on. The managers, Steve and Karen, are lovely people that we really enjoyed talking with, very attentive to our needs and helped us out with getting payment to a restaurant when we didn't have cash, but had planned on paying by card. I LOVED the A/C and it would cool down the room fairly quickly, which was great. Bed was comfy, the bathroom nice, everything was quaint and clean. Breakfast was DELICIOUS!! Dama prepared (as well as Karen) made delicious omelettes, sausage dishes, coconut bread, home-made jams (SO yummy!). Only suggestions are: (this one is TOUGH, I know) an elevator (Steve brought up my bag-so kind). Some info. about arrival, as we sat in our taxi at the gate for quite awhile, trying to call and get a hold of someone to let us in. Had my son jump the short gate (didn't know it was unlocked). Met Steve, he said all taxi drivers know to just come in, ours didn't. I was disappointed to find out that we couldn't flush our TP down the toilet. I this to be common in Latin America, but with charge for nice B&B, seems an investment could be made in plumbing, but maybe it just doesn't work in Bocas del Toro. Otherwise FANTASTIC place to stay. Nice and quiet -peaceful. Power went out for 25 min. one night, but came on quickly. Steve and Karen are great! "

"I had the most amazing experience at Nowhere. It really feels like you leave the rest of the world behind when you step into Bocas... Nowhere takes you further. You wake with the sun (be sure to pack an eye mask if you like to sleep in). I went during rainy season and watching the rain thru the overhead window or side window was magical. It's quiet and secluded, but the staff aren't far away. They will even help you spot monkeys and sloths for those photo opps. Barefoot luxury is how i would describe. The beach and restaurants are across the road. Bocas Town is a 45 min walk or quick taxi away (taxis ride up and down the road all day/ evening). True tea... there's no TV or AC or other creature comforts, but that's kind of the point. You really don't miss them. And as far as AC goes, they provide an oscillating fan. I actually kept it off most of the time bc it was well ventilated with the windows. Keep an open mind and have a blast!!"

"Adequately equipped quiet apartment within walking distance to a small beach. I felt safe and relaxed here."

"A fun and peaceful place to stay, away from the large crowds. It’s about a 10–15 minute walk to the main town or borrow bikes to ride from the owners. The sunsets are absolutely breathtaking, and you can easily arrange for taxi boats to pick you up right from here to head out on your next adventure."

"The beach is tiny but pretty. Accommodations are clean, restaurant is good, and staff is friendly. Bring your rental car so you have some options. 20 min walk to starfish beach. "
