This was an absolutely beautiful place. It is super quiet. The linens are top notch and room was very clean. Although we had a ride to the beach there is also an easy 5-7 min pathway. The food was also superb.

A real hidden find for visitors to Panama City. Just a 30 minute ferry ride from the city, you will feel as if you are transported to a Greek island. The Villa has magnificent views of the ocean and is charmingly decorated. We lived our large terrace which allowed us to have a private romantic dinner overlooking the ocean.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE
This place is amazing. I can’t stop thinking about it. We were looking for a peaceful place to be for the weekend and I have to say Villa Caprichosa didn’t disappoint us. From Diane the owner, Arturo the property manager to every single person that works there were so nice and attentive to every single detail. We are so happy we found this place and can’t wait to go back. The food, transportation, service, the beautiful rooms, the privacy everything surpassed our expectations. We are certainly going back.

This was the second time my wife and I stayed at Villa Caprichosa and we absolutely love it.
Nadgee immediately recognized us as returning guests when she picked us up at the dock and greeted us with a warm, welcoming smile. I am sure she sees and meets numerous people but that alone got our visit off to a great start. Once we were at the property it was like being in our own private oasis. The first night we stayed in the Champagne Diamond which offers a private terrace overlooking the island and gave amazing views. The rest of our visit was spent in the Hidden Gem suite and I cannot express how much we enjoyed it. From the separate sitting room to the private pool to the private balcony with beach chairs perfect for enjoying the delicious Pina Coladas made by Basilio the bartender, we were thoroughly impressed with the property even more than on our initial visit.
Anytime we wanted food, drinks or a ride somewhere on the island both Basilio and Christopher happily took care of us without delay. It was a truly incredible experience. If you ever have the opportunity to visit Taboga Island do it and do yourself a favor by staying at Villa Caprichosa. You will not be disappointed with whichever villa or suite you choose. And if you're lucky you'll get to meet Diane Burn, the owner who oversees this spectacular property.
Taboga Island has become our go-to getaway location and Villa Caprichosa is where we will always stay. We look forward to returning for years to come.

The hotel in general and the rooms are beautiful and comfortable- pictures are what you get. The restaurant is the best on the island. And the staff are super responsive and try and meet your every need as much as possible.
