True Nature Jungle House, hotel in Bastimentos

True Nature Jungle House is located in Bastimentos and offers a terrace. The property features city and sea views.

I loved the "authentic" nature of the stay. It was quite hot during our stay, so there were many times when we were uncomfortable, but that is part of the experience. Overall, the amenities were amazing; considering we were in a remote area.

    Los Bastimentos is so much nicer than Bocas, I would greatly recommend staying here instead of on Isla Colon. A real Carribean feel, friendly inhabitants, not overly touristy. Excellent snorkelling just a watertaxi-ride away at Hospital Point.

    I like all the island nearby that all had uniqueness and individual charm. We visited 7 various spots and stayed in 4 islands accommodations. All seemed to be noisy at night with either jungle animal sounds, local bars blasting music or boat traffic. Day time hammock naps are a must!

    We liked the snorkeling adventure, but with high surf some of the better snorkeling spots were off limits. If snorkeling is high on your list, be sure to allow for the proper time of year with more calm seas. We saw several sloths on sloth island during a tour and on Bastimentos. We enjoyed the natural beauty of red frog beach and playa bluff. When going to playa bluff, take the local shuttle or taxi as the roads are challenging.

    Basti was fantastic.

    Basti was fantastic. The people are so friendly and the island has such a laid back atmosphere. There are no cars on the island, which I thought was awesome. You get a real feel for the culture here, while also getting a nice beach getaway. We stayed in Old Bank, so we enjoyed watching the boats and locals. Definitely bring more cash than you expect though, most hostels on the island don't accept credit cards, and to get anywhere by boat costs money, as well as entry to the beaches. We blew through our remaining cash quite quickly, and there are no ATM's on Basti.

    Bastimientos is easy to access from Bocas Town by boat taxi, but it is a different world... much quieter and more basic and natural, with good access to lovely beaches. Bastimientos is the option in Bocas if you want something quieter and more simple.

    I stayed, relaxed, ate and drank at Palmar Beach Lodge and I have to say, one of my favourite places so far. The atmosphere was very relaxing, great staff and a big shout out to Jimmy, the best waiter/barman/entertainer! I stayed in an 8 person dorm, had a great bad, no troubles sleeping and the beautiful beach is just waiting for you to get out of bed. I stayed for 7 nights, which was a little too long in my opinion, as there are many islands around that I could have also explored, however, the regular trips organised by the Palmar Crew (also a super friendly and nice bunch of people) made up for my lack of pre-planning. Greetings to the entire team and hopefully see you again in the future at some point.

    The food was incredible. Chef Victoria did an incredible job taking the food from the jungle and turning it into a fabulous meal. We also loved that they delivered chocolate tea first thing in the morning to enjoy in our hotel room. The property was gorgeous and incredibly well built. Additionally, the wild life was incredible. We saw at least a dozen capucin monkeys from our hotel room. We were overcharged but Jose gave us a refund. Thanks to the staff for an incredible honeymoon.

    The location and service at Carmen's Place are superb. A relaxed and calm hotel offering you rest and leisure is situated across the water from the nightlife and is convenient accessible by water taxis. As you watch the dolphins and sunset from the dock chairs.. The chef Carmen will serve you delicious meals and beverages. A must stay for short trips or a much needed Vacation of rest!

    Beverly’s hill is very unique and charming. it has a beautiful garden where you can see red frogs everyday and enjoy the view on the ocean. It’s located central near the docks in Bastimentos town and the walk to the wizard beach trough the jungle is a lot of fun. The owner Simon is great, very nice, helpful and open. We really fell in love with this little piece of paradise!

    Palmar was one of our favorite accommodations during the trip through Costa Rica and Panama. The staff were very friendly, the bungalow very spacious and well equipped, the beachfront location is amazing. We also enjoyed on-site yoga classes and availability of other activities. Communication from Palmar was also very good, making it easy upon arrival in Bocas.

    Run by a friendly idealistic couple. The restaurant was quite good. They provided kayaks and snorkeling gear which was nice. The location is good for Bastimentos but Bocas in general is complicated to get around. Lots of water taxis and the costs can add up. The guide they recommend for the trip to Zapatilla was excellent.

    There is a jungle right next to the hotel area with a lot of wildlife. The sea is on the other side of the hotel and Kayaks and snorkeling gear is included. Spacious room. Very tasty breakfast and dinner. Very helpful and friendly hosts (french, but English and Spanish speaking). Daily cleaning service of the room.
