Richard
This charming villa, with a swimming pool and a lush garden, faces the sea and welcomes you in a relaxing area, located a few miles from the city centre and its activities.
Smiling and friendly, Richard welcomes you in an idyllic setting and puts himself at your disposal to help you disconnect in the best conditions.
Big Creek is a residential area of Isla Colon; you can reach it in less than five minutes by taxi from the city centre. The residence faces the sea: you will reach the beach in less than a minute ! Or you can enjoy a peaceful walk up to the "lake" of Isla Colon, which by the way is the sweet water reserve of Bocas.
