Lock in a great price for Villa F&B – rated 9.9 by recent guests!

to get started.

The place was great, private, and the food is absolutely amazing. It was located inside a mangrove bay at island Solarte. Super environmental friendly. The food and drinks made by the household were delicious. The households were super nice. Would definitely come back again!

Cameron, United States of America

We loved the design of the rooms and the amazing view from the bed and deck. The free use of kayaks and a SUP was a great bonus. The mangroves around the property made for some beautiful calm water to paddleboard on. Breakfast each morning was wonderful, with homemade breads, eggs to order, and other yummy creations. Lounging on the pool deck was really enjoyable as was chatting with Benoit about the design and the details of Villa F&B. We ate dinner each night at the property and both nights the meal was perfect. Three courses and prepared and presented beautifully. Hot showers, super clean rooms, friendly and inviting staff, and a really special location. We loved it.

Sam, United States of America

We had an amazing time at F&B's. Fabienne's French cooking was exceptional. Ben was super helpful and we nice conversations with him. They were wonderful hosts. The nature around the brand new hotel is absolutely stunning. We enjoyed kayaking and snorkeling (available for free) in the mangrove forest.

Tina, Costa Rica

The owners were very curtious, friendly and interesting people. The food was outstanding. The area was very quiet and relaxing. The decor and the facilities were very nice. So much attention to detail. Would recommend 100% The only suggestion I would make is if you are not familiar with the area arrange transport to island with hotel as its in a quieter place/island and not all the taxi boat drivers may be familiar with the spot/might not speak English, so could cause delays or cost a few more dollars. It’s very minor detail/suggestion.

Olga, Canada

Benoit and Fabienne are great hosts, who make you feel right at home. The food is delicious! Everything is made fresh and they accommodate dietary restrictions if needed which is so thoughtful. The Villas are beautiful, very well maintained and clean. The hotel itself is quite secluded so very quiet and peaceful although if you are planning on going into town boat rides are a little more expensive. Definitely enjoyed our stay.

Jackie, Canada

Fabienne and Benoit are marvellous hosts! Place and views are stunning and peaceful, food is outstanding and... what else really?!!! A "must go" in Bocas!

Matthieu, France

Absolutely sensational. Incredibly beautiful Villa set on a secluded and gorgeous part of the island. Stunning views with Benoit and Fabian; a fun-loving and very friendly couple. Amazing room, facilities and really good fun. Sit by the pool and soak up the atmosphere.

Conrad, United Kingdom

Fabienne and Benoit are so nice ! The hotel / room / swimming pool are just perfect ! The view is amazing ! It is the perfect mix between « feeling at home » and having a « 5 stars service » ! Fabienne is a really good cook, everything that comes out from the kitchen is homemade and really tasty. Thanks to Benoit, we learned a lot about the area and the country. If you like dogs, Sanka will probably become your best friend ! Paddle, kayak and snorkeling stuff are at disposal for free (you can enjoy very nice snorkeling spots around). Wish we could have stayed some nights more. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!!

Géraldine, Belgium

The hosts are very welcoming and will take care of you. The villa is built in a paradise where calmness is queen. Magnificent rooms with comfortable beds. Food is simply delicious. Afternoon and happy hours at the swimming pool are a must. All of it at only 10 minutes from Bocas, you will find a piece of paradise. Strongly recommended.

Marco, Panama

Beautiful location in the middle of nature! So quiet. And excellent service. Food was exceptionally good - the owners are from France and had earlier a restaurant in Bocas Town. High quality rooms with hot shower. A real pearl for anyone who appreciates the beauty of archipelago nature, high quality accommodation and great food! Only 10-15min boat trip from Bocas Town. Suosittelemme!

“Pure relaxation in a quiet island location”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room with Sea View
- • Stayed 4 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
The location of the hotel is extraordinary , it is very secluded and therefore offers absolute tranquillity. The starry sky is very beautiful, and you can even admire the bioluminescence directly on the hotel jetty. The seclusion also has a small disadvantage, so that the leisure offer is somewhat limited. Thus, you always need a shuttle that causes additional costs. An airport shuttle of 10 dollars per person is obligatory. However, the hotel offers free kayaks and you can fight your way through the jungle like Indiana Jones (no obvious paths). The food in the hotel is excellent and has a super price-performance ratio, whereby you can only choose the 3 course menu for 25 dollars in the evening, which is definitely worth it. Other restaurants are only accessible by boat, if considered. Benoit, Fabienne and their daughter were always courteous and super friendly. Good conversations are always possible with Benoit. The rooms are beautifully furnished, the bed very comfortable and the view phenomenal. The resort is sustainably operated and designed, with many beautiful wooden terraces. Tip: Very recommendable is the Green Acres Choco Farm Tour, which is carried out by the owner Robert very passionately and was one of the best tours we have ever made.

“French chic island ”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room with Sea View
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
- The owners have a dog, and we love dogs! But this one - despite being a sweetheart - is not yet trained at all and is very annoying (specially when you are trying to do your morning yoga and he doesn’t let you), steals the clothes on your balcony, or comes too close to the room and wants to play when you don’t want to interact - It’s very hot and there is not enough shade outside - The dinner is quite expensive and there’s no alternative (25 dollars) - This was a big one: there was no free water! You have to buy water bottles here and they cost 1,25. - There’s not much to do. They don’t offer any tours to other spots either - so be prepared to organize your own activities.
We started our island hoping with Isla Solarte and stayed at Villa F&B, which is a new resort. The most distinctive aspect of this resort is the amazing view over the mangroves (there is no beach here). This is the perfect place for those who don’t want to miss all the comfort and enjoy a little more of an upscale and gourmet/chic atmosphere because, unlike on other islands, here you eat your meals not at a common table where you can interact with other travelers but at a separate table. The dinner was exquisite, but it is also costs $25 USD (and there’s no alternative, or a cheaper meal). The rooms are high-end and top Italian design. The bed and the pillows were one of the most comfortable we had! We also loved the pool - which was so refreshing! The surroundings: there’s not much to do here, except for kayaking or SUP in the mangroves. We did that on a new moon night and it was an incredible experience - the sky was full of stars and the water was sparkling with bioluminescent plankton when you wave your hand inside.

Our best stay ever. The place is so peaceful and quiet. The idea of the building about resource conservation is impressive. Free kayak and paddle rental. The view of the room is perfect that you can see sunrise everyday on your bed. The food is first-class and it is a joy to have dinner there everyday. Best stay for a couple.

There was very little that we could say we didn't like. The location is pretty remote and cost $10 per person for transfers, but being remote also makes the place so special.
