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.

The restaurant on the premises was excellent, as was the staff. The room was clean but super hot because there was no adequate ventilation to keep the heat out.

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.
We loved the location in the bay and our view and access from terrace directly to the ocean. Water was calm, clean, warm and we swam and snorkeled every day. The staff was very friendly, bungalow spacious and clean with both inside and outside shower and two floor windows to watch the colorful fishes swim below our bungalow. Reasonable restaurant prices (15-20 USD for main course, 2-8 USD for drink), food very tasty (especially the grilled tuna :)). Water taxi costs 5 USD to the Bocas town. We made a great choice to book this hotel.
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.
In the natural state, eco friendly, quiet, snorkeling and kayaking within property (free!), hiking within property, next to nature reserve, wild life. Hike to town, we hiked to banks village then to wizard beach and finally to red frog beach along the beach (all free, if done reverse have to pay red frog beach $5) and then took water taxi ($8) to town for Christmas Eve dinner finally water taxi back to ataraxia from the dock of the restaurant ($6)
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.
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!
Excellent place for those who want to spend a few days in the jungle and close to the sea. I cannot express how well we were received by Carmen and Marcel. Always eager, they prepare amazing dinners (we will miss Carmen's salad). If you visit Bastimentos, Carmen's place is the place
Breathtaking little resort in the jungle and on a beautiful beach! We saw a sloth, howler monkeys and listened to so many different birds! Best hotel on our journey in Panama! I would return here and recommend to all! The staff were so friendly and helpful as well!
Very cosy rooms with a nice common space with restaurant and great view. Rooms are being cleaned every day and there’s warm water on a bathroom. if you stay here, you must try delicious homemade food served in the restaurant downstairs. The best food in whole Panama!
Excellent location away from the hustle and bustle, right on the water's edge. Very friendly host who provided hi own entertainment in the evening! Hammocks available to lounge on the deck. Good place to start exploring the island of Bastimentos.
For the most part, staff was very welcoming and knowledgeable. We stayed in two rooms and loved both the over-water bungalow and tree house. We enjoyed the nature path and paid activities offered by the hotel; Alejandro was the best!
warm welcome, they give you a cup of water, bring the luggage to the room, give a small tour in the hostal. beautiful place, very good admosphere. the food was perfect. first time i eated so good after a few weeks of panama.
On top of a hill with a 360 degree view of the Caribbean. So beautiful! Liked being away from the tourists and hanging out with the locals. Property manager Didier was very friendly and helpful to communicate with.
beautiful location at red frog beach in the middle of the jungle. the tents have really comfortable beds and the restaurant with sea view is beautiful as well. can highly recommend because of the nature experience
there’s hammocks on the deck and it’s on the water! it’s full of other travellers from all over the world. the island of Bastimentos is so pretty and relaxed. the kitchen was well equipped. incredible view
