We loved the Villa! Diane runs such a beautiful, cozy, boutique hotel! Arturo and the entire staff went ABOVE and BEYOND to make our stay comfortable. The only downside is that the shower water was lukewarm...however, I'm not letting them lower my rating because I almost expect that in more remote places like this. Just wanted to make note in case that is something that would really bother you. But to me, that's travel...not everything is always perfect but the Villa is about as close as you can get! The food is delicious, drinks so yummy and the view can't be beat!

Dave and his staff were awesome! Worth spending some quiet nights out there instead of just day tripping like most people who visit the island.

The place is great, slightly secluded and quiet, nice walking distance from places to get steps in. The room was spacious and super comfortable. The shower was an unexpected gem, great pressure and sensitive to whatever temp chosen

It had such a lovely aesthetic about it, it was beautiful to sit outside in the garden area and relax during our stay. The location was fantastic - everything was a 2-5 minute walk. The staff were friendly & really helpful.

The food is good there. I do like the breakfast. It has changed hands in the last year or so and the relaxed vibe is gone. But overall not bad. Just not as good as it was.

A nice getaway from the city, there are relaxing spots and party spots. You can walk the whole island in no time or take a golf cart where you want to go. Overall the island is very dirty though and might not be the right vibe for some. Most of the beaches have trash everywhere and many trash containers overflow. Folks will tell you the trash come from the city but there is plenty generated here on the island. Honda beach seems a bit cleaner but when the tide comes in about 90% of the beach disappears. For a good meal in and a fantastic view visit Villa Capriocha, its costs a bit more bet definately worth it.

I advise to stay min for 2 nights as it is truly different when all "one day tourists" come and go and you have all island to yourself. The city itself is faced the sunrise so you can start you day early and enjoy it and till 10 am there will be few people and the crowd mainly leave at 15:45, hence you back to quite again.
Although not many restaurant are opened after 19:30 but you can always enjoy your drink on the beach to in the hotel + to be in quite with yourself.

The island has a lot of potential for tourism.
The island has a lot of potential for tourism. Right now they need to invest more in their beach facilities, maybe a better "food court" or food area with better chairs and tables. Also they need to make sure visitors pick up their trash after them.

The beach is lovely...its worth walking along the sandbar and rest on / near the little island. Lots of cheap food and drink on offer at the beach and some shopping. A few other good places to eat near ferry point. I loved Mundi's. Evening options limited. This is really a beach and walking location (if you start early in the day...Hot!). There is limited offer for food, drink, shopping. But thats the beauty of the place.....

Taboga is a lovely spot for soaking up the sun.
Taboga is a lovely spot for soaking up the sun. It's only 30mins ferry -$24 return- from Panama City and charming. If you are doing a day trip make sure you have booked your return in advance particularly on the weekends when it is a big hit with locals too.

Taboga Island was very relaxing and quiet.
Taboga Island was very relaxing and quiet. My favorite place to go there was the cafe in the church plaza. Also, on low tide, you can lounge on the beach that stretches to the small island nearby. Unfortunately, most of the restaurants and water activities do not open every day or sometimes at all on the days that they are supposed to be open. It can be hard to find food at night so it is a good idea to make reservations at the callaloo restaurant. And make sure that your hotel is not next to a chicken coop because of the noise. We had a very positive experience staying on the island. We went for a very long hike and got lost on the way down but it was very worth it for the view. It was very nice to get out of the city and go to the beach on Taboga Island. The ferry that takes you to the island for $10 each way is called tabogaexpress and they also do snorkeling tours. They are very friendly and were so accommodating to us. It was a great experience!
Villa Caprichosa exceeded my expectations. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a refreshing welcome drink by the attentive staff. The rooms were spacious, tastefully decorated, and impeccably clean. The presence of greenery added a touch of nature to the surroundings. The on-site restaurant served a delicious dinner. The pool area offered a serene retreat from the hustle of daily life. Overall, Villa Caprichosa provided an unforgettable experience.
Was a nice place to stay for our one night on the island. The hotel is located up a hill with beautiful views. Walking up that hill with luggage is quite hard but the hotel offers free pick up and drop off. Gorgeous outdoor area (hammock, dining). The beds were comfy and the room was clean. It was quiet. The staff is kind and welcoming. Clean and comfortable room. Very friendly and helpful staff, also the breakfast is very nice (8$).
The hotel is conveniently situated close to the pier were one arrives from the ferry. This is a well maintained hotel and it looks new and of a more than acceptable standard. The pool is more like a plunge pool, but with a scenic view of the beach and surrounding islands. The police station is across from the entrance of the hotel, so no issues with security.
Charming hotel, up the hill, with great view that you can enjoy from the deck , or the small swimming pool. The owners are very friendly . You can eat delicious pizzas cooked at the hotel, or the owner can bring you tasty take out food from a good restaurant located downhill. All and all, a great place: I wish I could have stayed more than one night.
A beautiful property on a tranquil island only 40 minutes from bustling Panama City. Beautifully decorated and appointed, this hotel is a great get away. With its restaurant, Villa Caprichosa is the only place you need to go in Taboga. But visit the town and enjoy its laid back charms.
From the beginning you feel warmly welcome in this unique place on Taboga. We got all the important information of the surrounding and enjoyed 2 wonderful days at the beach and at the pool with the amazing view.
If you want a place to relax this is the place to be on Taboga.
Amazing owner, full of kindness. Great AC and clean with great location. BEST PLACE on the island to spend a night or MORE!! Great attention to detail with robes, tea kettle and biscuits in room and drying rack for wet ocean gear.
Diane Burn, the renowned designer, operates a charming and opulent boutique hotel. It offers exquisite dining experiences with flawless dinners and lunches prepared by a skilled in-house chef, truly exemplifying a 5-star quality.
The property had beautiful views, was super clean and accommodating. The owners were always around and always eager and willing to ensure that your island getaway was as special and relaxing as possible.
The place was absolutely stunning - a gorgeous little island with such friendly and humble people.
The hotel was one of the nicest I've stayed in. Delicious breakfast.
Would definitely recommend!
Beautiful hotel and room with private terrace, relaxing pool environment from which to watch the world go by. Very helpful staff and chatting with Diane (the owner) made us feel very welcome.
The place is beautiful, well maintained. The view is wonderful. The staff is very friendly. I think the food prices are a little too high. Other than that, I really recommend this hotel.
Breakfast was good (though charge extra $2 for things like bacon etc which is strange. Dinner good. Beautiful and interesting view (ships waiting for Panama Canal). A special hotel
The hotel is located up a hill which guarantees gorgeous views. Walking up that hill is quite the workout but the hotel offers free pick up and drop off upon arrival and departure.
Lovely place just 1 minut from Taboga ferry.
So sweet and helpful host from England.
Awesome pool area with beautiful view and only 2$ for a beer.
Nice, clean and romantic rooms.
The staff were very helpful and engaged in providing an enjoyable stay. They had great knowledge of the amenities on the island and answered any questions we had with enthusiasm.
Excellent owner and staff. Infinity pool is awesome! I want one! Haha. Super service. Great example of a Boutique hotel. Personable with warmth and kindness.
