Villa Sevilla Hotel Jungle Garden
Highlight • Structure
It is just a few kilometers from Bocas del Toro, actually in the middle of the jungle, in Big Creek, next to Via Playa Bluff. The owner bought a piece of jungle, cleared it and created a beautiful garden with buildings and a swimming pool.
The hosts are called José (from Seville) and Maira (not Maria! - from Venezuela), are very friendly and take great care of their guests. In particular, they are also happy to explain what plants and animals there are here. Although I was only there for two days, I was able to marvel at a sloth, a capuchin monkey, hummingbirds and a small gecko from relatively close. I couldn't remember the names of all the beautiful flowers, shrubs and trees.
I was glad I hadn't taken a hotel in town...
