Bocas Del Toro Has Everything Susan and Doc Were Looking for

Susan and Doc are so happy in their new lifestyle and home in Bocas del Toro Panama. They share their experiences in this video.
They traveled all over Panama, but when they saw Bocas del Toro, they knew it would be their new home.
Bocas is not like the rest of Panama. It's on the Caribbean side of Panama and has a more bohemian, laid-back feel. Even the architecture is different in Bocas.
Of course, life revolves around walking on beaches and boating in Bocas. There are many excellent restaurants. Live entertainment is readily available.

My girlfriend and I spent a few days at the diving hotel last September. It's the red roofs and balconies at 5:32. Very nice. The owners are wonderful.

[@paulwagner2089]

Similar to our experiences when we moved from the U S to Costa Rica 19 years ago. No regrets !

[@maria.2695]

Wonderful video. Bocas Del Toro is indeed a very beautiful place! We absolutely loved it

Glad you enjoyed it! We agree that Bocas is great!

[@strandgirl1000]

Me, too!

[@ghilly_one1720]

very enjoyable and informative at the same time. i had not really considered bocas -- was looking only at las tablas because spouse likes to surf. i did not realize there is surfing in bocas. i find it interesting/reassuring, the comment that covid times really showed the reality of how much we, in reality, do physically hang with extended family and friends. i text/call my siblings more than i really see them. and all can be visited on periodic trips back to the home country. being away from my family is truly the big thing holding me back. yet the older i get, the more i embrace that at some point we must find a way to live with no regrets. and this may include moving away to where the heart calls.

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

There is world class surf in Bocas del Toro. We have another video of a professional surfer who moved to Bocas del Toro.

[@origjazz]

Thank you for such a wonderful video!! You guys remind me so much of us(my wife and I) We’ll be visiting soon with the plan being to move permanently in about a year… Whenever I leave our home my goal is a minimum of 5 good deeds…holding a door, allowing someone to change lanes in traffic, etc etc etc…we are so excited to (eventually) live amongst people who are like us! All the best! ❤

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Thanks for watching the video. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@johnrencher442]

Love love it, so very happy for you both.. I am seriously considering coming to Panama for retirement. We are so tired and disheartened by the USA, crime, politics,cost of living… just gotten out of control, and Florida is supposed to be great for retirement, they have become like every place else… more money to survive… Thanks for sharing…

Beautiful house . how far are you firm the Boca Airport? What is the rent are you paying ?,

[@susansindelar2203]

About 20 mins from our airport from our house. About 5 if you live in town. . You can rent something for $500 a month or you can pay all the way up to $2500 a month depending on what you want. You really do have to see properties in person to choose. I suggest spending at least a week andspending at least a week in Bocas to look around. That’s what we did. Plus, the inventory can change weekly around here! There are so many short term rentals and those rents are entirely different - a short term rental can be 3 months or charged by the day.

[@ilani9873]

@@susansindelar2203 I was in Boca in March for a week, it was a rainy week, no sun. How did you find this rental unit, did you sign a long time lease?

[@susansindelar2203]

Signed a one year lease - then resigned for 4 years! You pretty much have to talk to everybody you meet even if you want to check with some realtors as well. The guy we worked with is a realtor, but he doesn’t take any commission for rentals. He doesn’t time looking around at different types of rentals. Then someone called him and said to ask our landlords because they heard a rental was coming up! It really is wild if mouth. You definitely need to spent a week here looking around.

[@ilani9873]

do you have hot water in the house, laundry machine , and how much are you paying monthly? The Beach looks like Star fish beach, I visited when I was there, with about 45 min bus ride. Your Rental is in close tot he city? Hospital?

[@jacquelineeason8246]

Enjoyed your video! I lived in Panama City as a kid 50 somewhat years ago and want to retire in Panama and thought about Bocas ,but can you tell me if the mosquitos will eat you up alive?

[@susansindelar2203]

Lol We do have mosquitoes. They don’t bother me much at all - but my husband sprays insect repellent on his arms and legs if they bother him. They seem to be seasonal, though, not constant.

[@susansindelar2203]

Just want to make a general comment on rents in Bocas. The rent we pay for our house is not representative of what’s available here. We just lucked out during Covid when vacation rentals were not been picked up. People were renting long-term at rents they might not normally charge. I think everyone needs to understand that Bocas is also a vacation destination for Panamanians as well as tourists from other countries, and to expect there may be higher rents here compared to somewhere like Boquete.

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Thanks for sharing this important information

[@HomeOpens]

Can you please give some sort of ball park figure in today’s prices please, per month for rent? Nothing flash but nice enough. The home in this video for example. Thanks.

[@TheMaryDoll]

I’m used to apartment living do they have apartments in Boca?

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

There are some apartments in Bocas del Toro on Isla Colon, the main island

[@dovygoodguy1296]

@@PanamaRelocationTours Do you have any videos or interviews that would go into that in Boca del Toro as an alternative to Panama City (Paitilla, Punta Pacifica) for the older crowd?

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

@@dovygoodguy1296 Living in Panama City completely differs from living in Bocas del Toro. You'd need to visit both to see which one "feels" right to you.

Doc and Susan are 71 and 72. They have a car to get into town but taxis are available too.
