What to expect

The dome is elevated in the rainforest where parrots, gray-cowled wood-rails, howler monkeys, hummingbirds, and other songbirds gather nearby. Enjoy the sounds of the surf lapping at the shore.

The only road nearby is a two-way road, running along the Caribbean. In less than a minute, you walk out to enjoy a bike ride, swim, or walk. Expect to see other folks walking, riding bicycles, ATVs, and taxis passing by. The dome is also a short walk to a few restaurants, and only a 15-minute bike ride to town.

Laurie fue una excelente anfitriona, siempre pendiente de nuestras necesidades, hace el mejor desayuno todas las mañanas, muy completo y abundante. La ubicación, la vista, la tranquilidad del lugar, todo fue hermoso. El Domo es amplio y muy confortable tal como se muestra en las fotos y hasta mejor. Pudimos ver los monos aulladores en los árboles junto al Domo. Tener bicicletas a disposición es genial para recorrer las playas.

Hier ist einfach alles perfekt! Unsere Erwartungen wurden sogar noch übertroffen. Die gesamte Unterkunft ist sehr durchdacht, liebevoll eingerichtet und unglaublich sauber. Die Betten sind sehr angenehm und haben eine gute Größe. Laurie war sehr hilfsbereit und hatte viele nützliche Tipps. Ihr Frühstück ist eine Klasse für sich! Schade, dass wir diese Unterkunft nicht länger eingeplant hatten! Wir würden sie jederzeit nochmals buchen!

Our stay in the dome was so lovely! Looked just like as pictured, the bed was very comfortable and the AC kept the dome at a great temperature overnight. Being up in the trees we saw a ton of birds, including toucans— no monkeys but maybe next time. It was nice to be close to town but far enough that we felt like we had some good solitude. Laurie & ken were so kind, generous and accommodating & breakfast was perfect every day. Renting a motorbike helped a lot with the under-construction roads but otherwise everything was absolutely perfect. If & when I come back to Bocas I’d be happy to stay here again.

We arrived on Valentine’s Day. Laurie and myself conspired to surprise my lovely wife to a rose petalled, candle lit, wine infused, surprise sushi valentines dinner. Laurie took care of the details and went above and beyond in soo many ways.We live in Bocas and can’t wait to return to the dome for a getaway to reunite with our hosts and our monkey family who were always entertaining from our spectacular view.

Séjour exceptionnel dans le dôme de Laurie et Ken. C'est encore plus beau que sur les photos : le mobilier est de grande qualité et le moindre détail est pensé ( prise usb et lumières de chaque côté du lit, réfrigérateur avec eau filtrée disponible..). On profite des bruits de la nature et de la mer ! Les petits dejeuners sont excellents et Laurie et Ken sont des hôtes attentifs et à l'écoute. Laurie est super réactive ! Notre fils a adoré jouer avec les chiens et le chat et avoir eu la chance de nourrir les canards. Bref un vrai coin de paradis hyper confortable !

Laurie and Ken have a clever, cozy, and convenient spot to hang out and chill while in Bocas Del Toro. An elevated dome with all the conveniences of home. It’s ocean view (not front), but you can see the shore (and hear the howler monkeys) with ease.But what sets their place apart from most other Airbnbs are them - as your hosts. They go out of their way to make your stay a great one. Did someone just say breakfast…OMG! Fresh (on premises) duck egg omelettes with spinach (picked 3 minutes ago), fresh fruit, warm muffins, awesome coffee, and great conversation. They are “all in” in this business, and their guests can feel it.
