THE HOTEL

Over the first year of operations, Villa F&B carved out a booking.com rating of 9.8/10 which they have maintained with over 200 reviews to appreciate. Guests enjoy king sized beds, outdoor dining, a selection of tours and a pool with an incredible western view. The Villa F&B off grid Boutique hotel is often privately booked for large events, as the communal space can seat up to 40 people for a catered function.

Mauro TERNO, an Italian architect based in Bocas del Toro, who has specialized in luxury construction in the Caribbean, was selected to design the Villa F&B off grid boutique Hotel. The owner’s goal was to combine tradition with modernity, while promoting the exceptional view of the bay from each room whether you are on the terrace or sitting in bed. He followed, with his team of carpenters, the rules and standards in force in Panamanian construction, earthquake-resistant foundations, reinforcement of structural elements, construction adapted to the constraints of large openings, and weather resilient materials for the swimming pool.

The swimming pool is self-supporting in a reinforced concrete and wood structure with a coating in polyester fiber and resin to ensure water resistance and flexibility. The building materials have been selected from among the finest and most suitable local woods, a mixture of nispero, almendro and bateo for floors, concrete for the wall between the bed and the bathroom, a “Securit” glass wall for the shower, taps and contemporary quality fittings for the bathrooms, to ensure durability and ease of use.

The Boutique Hotel is painted a fresh white, to accentuate the vibrancy of the nature that surrounds. The bright green field of low lying mangroves stands out against the red ginger and hibiscus that surround the property. Views of the mainland mountain ranges in the distant horizon are all focal points from the rooms and common spaces.

The two twin, 2 story buildings are separated by the communal area, with a large professional kitchen, and the covered dining space, all furnished with custom handcrafted furniture. Each building has 2 units on the ground floor, the rooms are a clean and simple design and have floor to ceiling windows, king sized beds and ensuite bathrooms. On the top floors of the the buildings are 2 apartments with 2 bedrooms each. The bedrooms in the suites are connected by large living rooms and form independent and private apartments for up to 4 people, ideal for the travelling family. 1 of the 2 double bedroom suites currently serves as managers quarters, which could be moved to the newly acquired jungle space behind the hotel.

A stream line design, the hotel is uncompromising in its deliverance of sophistication in a breathtaking natural setting. The owners had lived in Bocas del Toro, and worked in hospitality for years before designing not only the hotel, but the experience they offer to their visitors. All this knowledge comes with the purchase of Villa F&B, to be continued as a successful Off Grid Boutique Hotel.
