It is exactly as the photos show with a lovely pool with lots of very comfortable lounges both in shade and sun. No aircon but surprisingly didn’t need it in February. This is a long way from shops or restaurants but luckily the meals here are excellent and even though there is no menu the food is delicious at every meal and varied. We were there for 7 nights but always something different. The boat ride to go anywhere is from $10 per person or $15 to redfrog beach but then you have to pay $5 entrance fee. If you want a quiet but comfortable stay this is the place. Benoit and Fabienne are great hosts

It is at least a 20 min boat ride to Bocas town and costs $20 each way

This second visit at Villa F&B was as exquisite and perfect as our first visit a year ago. An outstanding site in Bocas, in a quiet and preserved environment, in a well designed and well thought property with truly charming and fantastic hosts (Fabienne and Benoit). From the minute you arrive, you'll feel warmly welcome, and you will enjoy excellent food as well as refreshing drinks, partially based on local products (citrus, banana, chocolate...). Beyond your room with own terrace, you can enjoy loads of alternative seating, with or without sun and enjoy the pool and socializing with other guests. Dinner and breakfeast are a perfect treat, the view is breathtaking, there are excursions nearby (chocolate farm, red frog island and so on...) and Benoit and Fabienne will happily provide insights or recommandations. Hightly recommended!

Wow wow wow! This place is heaven on earth. The villa is immaculately beautiful with gorgeous rooms and lovely views. Situated a short boat ride away from Bocas town, it is the perfect place to relax! We spent 6 nights here and didn't want to leave. Benoit and Fabienne are such lovely hosts, Benoit took us out on his boat snorkelling and was so great in helping us maximise our stay! Fabienne's cooking was incredible - much better than any restaurant you would visit in all of Central American, let a lot Panamá! Every day was a culinary masterpiece from the moment you woke up until dinner in the evening! Easily best stay of our 5 month honeymoon for sure!!

Nothing it was perfect!

This was the most perfect hotel I’ve ever stayed at- it was like he stayed in each suite to make sure everything was comfortable. Benoit was an amazing host. He was very calm and created a relaxing environment. The decor was gorgeous and tastefully executed. Food was fantastic which was prepared by him and his wife - they make a great duo. Benoit offers all the services and tours you need, without being pushy. This place could not be any cleaner - 10s all around!

Everything was perfect :D

I had the end unit on the first floor and it was perfect. Floor to ceiling windows offer spectacular views and it's more private than the middle rooms. Fabulous common area overlooking the pool where breakfast and dinner are served and everyone has their own space but can still easily interact. The lobster dinner was excellent. There's no menu - they determine what is prepared, but any food allergies are recorded and remembered throughout your stay. Hosts and dog are a delight; super responsive and regularly interact with the guests.

Surprised that the final amount charged was more than that on the receipt, but the surprise booking fees were refunded after discussing.

Very beautiful, safe and calm location, design, arrangement, atmosphere, nature (you can observe parrots and hummingbirds while relaxing at the pool), outstanding food (even with good vegetarian options), amazing hosts (Benoit and Fabienne were so friendly, approachable and helpful - we felt as if we were staying with a host family), possibility of renting a kayak for free. We also liked the concept of a slower lifestyle in harmony with nature.

We can’t think of anything to improve, we had a wonderful time there and would have loved to stay longer. Just be aware that you can´t go anywhere else to have dinner. After trying the three course dinner and Fabienne´s magic, you wouldn´t want to eat anywhere else anyway. We loved the outstanding food (great value for money).

Everything was excellent. The stars of the show are Fabienne and Benoit, real genuine and kind hosts. Fabienne’s food was the best! Because you are in the middle of a national reserve you end up having breakfast and dinner in their restaurant, and it’s absolutely superb! Thank you both.

Fabienne’s food is addictive, and now we are having withdrawal symptoms ;-)

We loved our stay here. Unique location in the mangrove swamps, remote and very stylish. Delightful hosts, the food and Margheritas were fantastique! We arranged a brilliant day tour from here to see wildlife and snorkel and visit a stunning tropical island. Recommend booking from here rather than from main operators on Bocas.

Loved it all, this was 1 of 3 amazing places we stayed on the Bocas islands and we loved how they all offered a different perspective of island life.

WOW, WOW, WOW! This place is so amazing. It is so beautiful. If you're looking for somewhere to relax this place is it. The hosts were incredible. They couldn't have been kinder and more accomodating. The food is five star. Every meal was EXCEPTIONAL! We stayed five nights and really enjoyed ourselves. Everything is top rate. We will be back.

A beautiful spot in the middle of the Mangrove. A place for relaxing, reading and cayaking. But - if you want to experience more of the islands the friendly host will help you with anything. Benoit and Fabienne are having this place and they do all the delicious cooking themselves. They are so nice and helpful and in five minutes you feel at home. They make you feel, that you’re a very special guest and they listen to your wishes and try to fullfill them. We highly recomend B&F.
