A private terrace is offered in each bungalow at Aqua Lodge. A glass panel is inside the bungalows, which guests can use to obverse marine wildlife under their feet. Impressive sunsets and sea views can also be enjoyed from each unit.

Beautiful hut with direct access to water and a fresh water shower on our porch. A dream come true! The staff is very attentive and super nice (just to name a few: JJ and Alejandro!). There is a beautiful little nature reserve which belongs to the hotel and we saw caimans, red frogs, multiple sloths and other fun stuff. The hotel is close to Old Bank which is great for food and a stroll! We will definitely come back!

Jungle Paunch provides accommodation with a kitchen, is situated on the way to Bluff Beach in Paunch. Complimentary WiFi is offered.

All units feature private terrace.

Bocas Town is 3.4 km from the lodge.

Maxi and his wife were such lovely hosts. They went out of their way to make sure that we had all the info that we needed about the area, including access to the surfbreaks, which was very much appreciated. Lovely treehouses that were built with love and thought by the owners. Very eco-minded, which we support 100 percent. The cabin was suspended in the jungle in a very quiet location, yet close to the beaches, which were a 5 minute walk away. Every day we could hear the Howler monkeys in the distance and hear and see the wide variety of tropical birds. Listening to the sounds of nature was so peaceful. We loved our stay there!

Offering a waterfront pool and a panoramic terrasse over islands of the archipelago, El Caribeo is situated on San Cristobal Island - Bocas del Toro. 10 min boat ride from Bocas Town.

The hotel provides rooms and one bungalow with seaview, private bathroom, hot water and private terrace.

Great hospitality and a quiet jumping-off point to explore Bocas. We loved the view, the eco aspect, and kayaking through the mangroves. Thank you also to the hosts for being so helpful as Bocas takes a bit of know-how for a first-timer - they helped us book tours and water taxis. Wish we'd had more time just to relax and enjoy their gorgeous property!

    We had an amazing stay at Ataraxia, the hosts are so welcoming and friendly. We stayed in a sea view lodge which was perfect, the balcony had lovely views of the sea and jungle. On our second day we used the complimentary kayaks and went through the mangroves seeing sloths and many birds - an incredible experience! Thank you

    Everything. The place is outstanding, surrounded by nature, sea and wildlife. The huts are lovely and clean and very comfortable. Breakfast and dinner very good and they made vegetarian menu for me. The owners Pierre and his wife are so nice and helpful. They tried to make our days there so special. I give the place 10 points over 10. I recommend this lodge if you’re gonna spend some days in Bastimentos.

    We loved the lodge on the water but unfortunately there was no path to the restaurants on the island. We took a watertaxi and it was fine :)

    The stay in the Palmar Beach Lodge was excellent. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Food and Drinks in the Restaurant were very well. (vegeterian and vegan options) The beach was awesome. Although the rip currents was very safty to swim, because there is a lifeguard and the flags shows you, were you can swim.

    The place was beyond my expectations. Ecolodge at its best, with a wonderful room and deck in front of the sea, staff hired from nearby communities, and exquisite meals and cocktails. Wifi only available after a short walk, which forces you to healthily manage your connection time... this is sustainable tourism for real!

    the Palmar lodge clearly benefits from its location but forgets that it should also cater for its guests. rooms are nice, yet expensive for what you get
