Quiet location. Small walk to downtown area. Plenty of taxis go by. Apartment was adequately furnished with cooking utensils, towels, bed linens and fans. Luis was very responsive when the internet went down. He fixed it right away.

Valerie Emanuel is a new and colourful house located in a quiet area of Bocas del Toro, called Saigon. It is a great place to experience the local neighbourhood, but within five minutes by bike you will find yourself in Bocas Town with plenty of restaurants and bars.

I am an American expat who to came to Panama 5 years ago doing charity work with indigenous tribes through Central and South America. Recently I have settled down in Bocas. My staff and will do everything possible to ensure you have the best stay in Bocas del Toro. Buena Karma friends!

Saigon is a quieter, more residential neighborhood. There are supermarkets, restaurants and a beach all within a few minutes walking distance.

The kitchen equipment (pans etc) were given to us really dirty so we had to wash them all before using. The toilet is too close to the wall so you have to sit sideways, shower curtain mouldy and tap in bathroom loose- could do with some maintenance. The owner was quite unfriendly and made us feel like we were annoying him when we asked any questions, and being on a downstairs apartment you don’t have a nice outside table and chairs to eat (just one hammock, which he was lying in for the duration of our stay- he said it was his favourite ...). Curtains don’t quite cover windows and no door on bathroom. Also it is quite a walk from the port/town centre/where boats to other islands go from.
Comfortable bed, fairly well equipped kitchen with good fridge. Allowed us to check in early after our night bus (although we did have to wait outside for 2 hours when we arrived as no one was in reception and no one answered when we sent messages through here and on the WhatsApp numbers provided). Nice balcony upstairs (so upstairs triple rooms are better than the apartment rooms which are downstairs). The water filter dispenser (25c /gallon) is really good as saves plastic and carrying bottled water from town. Good fans. There is a laundry nearby where you pay $5 for the load (ie not per item or weight). This is useful to know but the owner was unable to give us this information. It is really good to be able to cook as restaurant prices are high.

The only thing was that we had a difficult time reaching these apartments via WhatsApp. We wanted to add a day to our stay before we arrived to Bocas but couldn't reach them to see if it was possible. Otherwise, there was nothing else I didn't like.
Everything! The building itself, our room, and the deck area with hammocks were beautiful! Clean, nice, well designed, amazing.

Louis is very nice . But it is kind of difficult to reach to him during the day9-5. I. It was very noise at 5am and got waken up. Later on, I found out it was one of the families at the downstairs were leaving.
The balcony is wonderful, the room that we had is cery spacy. Two double beds could easily fit 4 people.

Only downside was the cold shower, barely an issue considering the heat.
BEAUTIFUL! A gorgeous balcony overlooks a tropical paradise that made me feel like I was truly escaping the norm. Thank you so much to Luis who was incredibly accommodating and friendly.

“Clean, newly painted apartments with good facilities about a 15 minute walk from Bocos Town”
- • Leisure trip

There was a stagnant smell in the room - unsure if this was from drainage or fresh paint. The rooms were quite hot so another fan would be beneficial.
Clean, newly painted apartments with good facilities about a 15 minute walk from Bocos Town. Nice kitchen that was fully-equipped. Stayed in the one bed apartment which was spacious for two people. Easy check in, friendly owner. Good value for money as Bocas is very expensive.

- only cold water for showers - no English speaking staff - wifi on and off - rude, ineffective manager. He always acted confused about existing bookings and availability, he wanted to change my room 3 times in 3 days. The third time when I refused to move rooms given that I had booked a triple room and I was already in a triple room, he canceled my booking.com reservation on the spot, so I had to look for alternative accommodation for the same day in high season. Given the lack of hospitality and poor management I cannot recommend this place.
The room and balcony were comfortable enough for the price and away from the street noise and party crowds.

The bathroom smelled really bad and since there is no door between bathroom and bedroom it also smells in the bedroom.
