Everything was perfect. The owners and the staff were super friendly and nice, the place itself is surrounded by paradise, there's also a backyard jungle. The food is delightful (if you're visiting - definitely book a dinner as well). Besides the amazing nature we also saw a lot of different animals including sloths, dolphins, tropical birds.. you can use kayaks for free and go explore the surroundings by yourself. The water is super clear, you can see starfish, small rayfish, even a small tiburon (a vegetarian one - no worries). I wish we could have stayed longer. Definitely miss this amazing place already!
PS - there are small small mosquitoes called chitras. Make sure to be prepared for those.

The location is superb, as well as the bungalow we were accommodated in. You're in the midst of nature, but with all the comfort at your disposal. The cleanliness in the room was excellent, the owners very friendly and ready to help anytime with information. Breakfast was tasty, as well as the dinner served each evening at the spectacular restaurant. We also had access to kayaks and SUPs that we could use as we pleased.

We had a wonderful time at this place. You are surrounded by jungle. The huts are very cozy and they have everything you need. Jen is the host of this accommodation and she lovingly takes care of her guests. There is a delicious breakfast and she helps you organize any activities you want to do.
We will remember this accommodation for a long time.

Punta Rica Lodge is definitely one of the best places I’ve stayed at in Central America. Rooms are very spacious and absolutely spotless (and very well decorated!). Staff was amazing - we got upgraded to a larger room and had complementary pick-up and drop-off to & from the main island.
Daniel was extremely nice, gave us very useful recommendations, and he is an outstanding chef. Definitely recommend having dinner there at least once to try his delicious food. Breakfast is included and those were the best avocado toast and pancakes we’ve had in our lives.
This place is a must! Very nice swimming pool and common area - with a sea view. Really hope to come back one day!

We stayed at Eclypse de Mar in one of their hotel rooms for five nights, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. The setting is breathtaking—nestled in nature, surrounded by clear waters and lush greenery. The overwater bungalows and the eco-friendly design make the property truly unique.
The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. We especially appreciated the peaceful atmosphere, which allowed us to completely disconnect and relax.
The room was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything we needed. It felt cozy and in harmony with the natural environment around us.
The location is perfect for exploring the surrounding areas, whether you’re into snorkeling, hiking, or just soaking in the beauty of Bocas del Toro. We highly recommend Eclypse de Mar to anyone looking for a unique and tranquil getaway.
We would definitely stay here again!

We had an amazing stay at Al Natural Resort! The open-air houses with sea views are unique and unforgettable. We saw wildlife right outside (sloth, rays, sharks, birds) and even bioluminescence at night. The staff are super friendly, Michel is a great host, and the food from Vincent’s team was excellent—even for picky eaters. Truly a paradise, we’d love to return!

I truly loved the Island of Bastimentos of which I stayed.
I truly loved the Island of Bastimentos of which I stayed. I did long walks along the island and I also hiked right through the middle of the island to get to Wizard beach. It's a gem that's unspoiled and untouched by droves of tourist. I hope it stays that way.
However, I have one big issue with this Island called Bastimentos that was heart breaking for me. There was entirely too much garbage strewn along the edges circulating the island. They need a major litter clean up campaign by this community. It was a turn off for such a beautiful Island with beautiful people.
Entirely to much garbage like plastic bottles, cans, glass bottles, old cloths, bags, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. I don't know if it's washed up by the sea from neighboring islands or thrown there by the community. It's highly visible and can ruin visitors coming here if they don't clean it up.
I can only hope this matter of pollution is addressed. All the best Bastimentos.
