Casa Cacao

It was truly a unique place, feeling like you were living right in the jungle. Aside from the mosquito net, everything was open. We only had fireflies as uninvited guests, and no one else came that we’d wanted to see. We did spot a huge sloth hanging in a tree on the way to the next restaurant, Cofe Stopp. Walking there takes 40 minutes, but the path is worth it—the food is excellent and the view is spectacular. Even the sweet hummingbirds that are fed here were worth the trek. The cocoa plantation nearby was also impressive. Our host gave us a brief look at cocoa production next to the restaurant, and we got to taste chocolate. The cheapest way back to Almirante is by bus, which runs every hour, and the hosts helped us with that.

What a wonderful spot, right in nature. The super friendly family running the house does everything to make you feel comfortable. The cabin has a gas stove, pots, and a fridge so you can cook yourself. There’s no glass on the windows, which gives a fantastic feeling of living in the middle of nature. The bed has a mosquito net, so no bugs bother you. We enjoyed the stay and will come back soon. The ferry to Bocos del Toro is a 10‑minute drive away. If you want to dine out, Coffee Stop is 2 km away, offers great food, a beautiful view, and a garden with birds. Google Maps has a mistake on the map; first type Ojo del Agua, and when you’re there, Casa Cacao. The weather could have been better; it rained occasionally, but there’s nothing anyone can do about that.

“Super miejsce dla miłośników natury!”

I recommend this property – the staff is very friendly and helpful in many unusual situations. The cottage is wonderfully situated in a forest, surrounded by natural vegetation. Beautiful flowers and wildlife are found nearby. The place is clean and well-maintained. Definitely for those who enjoy contact with nature, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I definitely recommend it!. The only downside is the cold water in the shower, which is probably standard in this part of the world, and the very slippery approach to the property after heavy rain

First of all, the photos don’t do it justice. It’s such a beautifully crafted cabin. And then I don’t even know where to start. This place is special. In the middle of nature, but with all the comfort of soft towels, a shower, a toilet, and a bed with a mosquito net. The little kitchen is well‑equipped and it seems every detail was thought of with love. You want to come here, believe me. And you won’t want to leave. With your own transport or public transport: bus to Almirante. Get off at La Ye. Take a taxi from Almirante and bring your own food and drinks (there are no shops at the cabin, but there are shops at La Ye in Almirante). A short distance away is a good restaurant for lunch and dinner with stunning views. It’s called Coffee Stop. The surroundings are lovely to explore, but hanging in your hammock on the beautiful balcony is also a great way to spend time. Wlady and Meiv are incredibly kind and can tell you a lot about cocoa and everything growing in the garden (including edible items). Nothing, it was perfect.
