Bambuda Lodge

Bocas del Toro

Bambuda Lodge is located in the tropical rain forest in Bocas del Toro. The property features a coral reef off its dock and a swimming pool with an on-site bar and a fun and social atmosphere. WiFi access is available for guests.

The property offers individual beds in dormitories or private rooms. You can enjoy views of the ocean, an outdoor seating area, a safety deposit box and bed linen. The place is stunning, restaurant, pool/lounge area and general premises, all surrounded by gorgeous jungle and wildlife (was surprised to see so many sloths close by). Such a great vibe the entire day with the best music playlist. The food and the staff are fantastic! I think it's Nando who makes the cocktails - they are top-notch and he gives you service with a smile. I was blown away by how kind everyone is and how much they make you feel at home. We did a jungle hike to a beautiful beach (lead by volunteer Serena who did a great job and pointed out some cool spiders and the little red frogs). Adele was another an amazing volunteer. Marco, Sebas, Joanna, Victor, etc. the list goes on, everyone was incredible and made us never want to leave! I also enjoyed reading about the history of how Bambuda Lodge and Castle came to be, this made me appreciate staying there even more. It’s hard to put into words what a special place this is. Truly one of the best places we have ever stayed out of all our travels.

It’s right on the water and so gorgeous. The two kitchens makes it easy to cook at the same time as others and omg the pina coladas were the best I’ve had. No air con or hot water but I didn’t mind this so much, just worth baring in mind if you’re someone it’s an issue for xxx

We chilled during breakfast on small front patio hanging out on hammock and watching interesting live of Bocas. Kitchen is well equipped and overall very interesting furnitures and styl of house gave us amazing impression. Highly recommended for everyone. We stayed in room nr 1 and we very happy with our stay.
