Ron & Christine Dennis
We fell in love with Bluff Beach & Bocas del Toro at first sight. Bocas' unique Caribbean flavour, its' warm & friendly people and stunning Bluff Beach were irresistible.
Christine & I have lived in Toronto all of our lives. After many years of running busy restaurants, we decided it was time for a change.
The tranquility of our beautiful property and the daily adventures of Bocas del Toro are a wonderful tonic for our guests.
