Villa Caprichosa Boutique Hotels

Wonderful hotel on the hillside towards the end of town. We took the fast ferry from Panama City in a heavy rainstorm. The ferry arrived 30 minutes late so our hotel pick-up wasn’t at the pier. I called them and they quickly sent over a very nice young man on an ATV to pick us and our luggage up. This was a good thing since it would have been a long walk with luggage and it was raining. We quickly took care of checking in and were shown our room which was a modest size with air conditioning, very comfortable bed, and a little sitting porch. We stayed in one of the three Opal rooms which is next door and share a large sitting area and porch affording a fantastic view of city and bay and a kitchen/coffee maker. Breakfast was fantastic and we were allowed to choose three things from the menu, all delicious and well prepared. Generally I had eggs, fruit, and toast. The highlight was dinner. They have an incredible chef who serves up a limited, delicious, gourmet menu from their open air restaurant on the third floor. We ate there three nights and two nights we had the fresh fish which was grilled sea bass with a choice of sides, including perfectly cooked al dente vegetables. I also had the creamy pasta with shrimp which was a little too creamy for me. And in the background to all this was the incredible view from the restaurant of the ocean looking back to Panama City.

This magical villa on the island of Taboga just a 30 minute ferry from Panama City, Panama is the perfect getaway. Elegant and luxurious with every attention to detail. Designed by the award winning Diane Burn, Villa Caprichosa is a must visit during your Panama stay.

The villa is classicly elegant, decor & accommodations are wonderful. Impeccable service. The food & drinks were excellent. Exceeded our expectations!

This is the most gorgeous hotel. Staying at villa caprichosa is like diving into another world. Impeccable design and attention to detail. The serenity here is unmatched — paired with great food, service, views and atmosphere. Highly recommend!

I spent four nights from June 19 to June 23 at the Villa Caprichosa hotel. I give this hotel a very good recommendation. The rooms are nice; the food is very good especially the beef fillet dishes. They will do your laundry for only $15. They have a great massage therapist. The views of the bay of Taboga from the hotel are very spectacular. The service is very good, they will also take you any were on the island.
On the beach front, no appointments needed all you need to do is show up. I highly recommend Water Jet Skiing and the three hour ATV tour of Taboga Island. Both the Water Jet Skiing and the ATV tour were very fun outings.

Beautiful, well appointed boutique hotel with breathtaking views and exemplary service. We came with my parents to explore the island and relax. Stayed at the Crown Jewel suite with private living/dining area and pool. Staff attended to our every need and assisted my mom with mobility when needed. Could not have been happier with our stay.

Cannot stress how much my partner and I enjoyed staying here. Everything was perfect, the villa is even more beautiful in person than in pictures. The staff was also exceptional throughout our trip, along with the wonderful accompanying restaurant.

My son and his fiancee recently got married at Villa Caprichosa and the owner Diane, her staff Margiet and Arturo, and the entire staff displayed outstanding attention to detail and the wedding went off without any issues. If anyone is thinking about having a wedding we would highly recommend Villa Caprichosa! And again, we want to thank Diane for her beautiful Villa Caprichosa and all her help!

My husband and I recently got married here and have stayed many times before. This is one of our favorite places in the world. Arturo and Margiet helped make our wedding truly perfect and were so caring & thoughtful throughout the whole process. Thank you so much to Diane as well for hosting us at Villa C. This place will forever hold a special place in our hearts!

This place and the staff was absolutely incredible! Arturo, Margiet, and the entire staff was attentive, kind, and so helpful every single day. I wouldn’t change a thing about this stay here and 10/10 recommend to everyone coming to Tabgoa Island!

It's one of the most beautiful places I have stayed in. I highly recommend the crown jewel room. The views are breathtaking, and the owner put so much detail and love into decorating the space. The entire staff is friendly and very helpful. They made my stay here perfection. Definitely will be returning.

We stayed here for two nights after our long cycle through three countries. We were looking for some peace and quiet snd that is exactly what we got. Diane who designed to place, rather like an Italian palazzo, has made her vision a reality…and what a vision. If is just exquisite. We stayed in the Blue Diamond Suite which has a large shared covered veranda in front with a sofa, chairs and table where you can eat breakfast snd dinner. The view from our bed right over the sea was incomparable! The decor is stylish snd chic. We ate there both nights snd the food was very good. We are so glad we found it…. Don’t hesitate…. 45-minutes ferry ride from Panama City is a real hidden paradise! We loved it!

One of the best places I've been to!
The place, the design, the energy, the vibe, the service, the stuff, the owner, the food, the music, the facilities — all of them 10 out of 10! You fell the spirit and the energy in every place and corner of this magnificent boutique hotel.
The design is outstanding, all very well planned and meticulously thought. You will not feel like going out of here. Thank you so much for this indeleble memory! And we will be back for sure. Promised! 😍

Looking for a hotel to celebrate our anniversary at a place we’ve never been before we found Villa Caprichosa. Our 1 night trip started with the ferry. When we arrived we were picked up in a golf cart and driven to the hotel. We were welcomed with a drink at the terrace. As they were working on the roof of the room we originally booked, we were upgraded to the Perla Suite. This is not a standard hotel but every room is unique and the whole place is designed with eye for detail. It was great to have an own pool and terrace, plus a living room. The island of Taboga itself was nothing special for us but Villa Caprichosa compensated this well. We had a great dinner with view over the ocean. It was great to have breakfast served on our own terrace. The crew was really nice and attentive, which is not the standard in Panama. We didn’t regret we chose Villa Caprichosa for our stay at Tobago.

If you are looking for a quiet place to getaway, this is it. This is an incredible place. You feel like you are in Italy. Our suite was magnificent with a private terrace we had dinner served to us. The food is great! The service is top-notch.

This is a beautiful boutique hotel on the island of Tabago just a 30 minute fast ferry ride from the Causeway in Panama City. We went with friends for lunch, but this would be an amazing venue for a wedding or a romantic getaway.

What a special experience! My husband and I came for a night on our honeymoon and the journey was well worth it. Every detail of Caprichosa is wonderful, Diane Burn’s eye for design is unparalleled, the staff are so kind and helpful. The food was delicious and the Crown Jewel Suite is well worth the splurge! Plenty of cool fresh drinking water, cold beers, strong AC in the bedroom with the most incredible view of the ships in the bay. Even during the heat of muggy summer it felt like a dream. There was a rainstorm the night we stayed and we got to watch the lightening in our living room. What a special night! Big thanks to Arturo the driver, Erazmo, Basilio, Margeri and all the other staff who go out of their way to make your stay. It will be a warm memory for us! Already excited to come back.
