Dan & Brian's place overlooks the sea and is just a few steps from a lovely little beach with white sand and coral reefs on either side. They provide snorkelling equipment, paddle boards and kayaks free of charge. The house itself is impressive and the rooms very nicely furnished. Beds super comfy. The pool is a good size and nice and warm, and surrounded by trees full of birds and the occasional sloth or monkey.
The food was fantastic and they make great cocktails. They also organised us a private tour to the Zapatillas islands which was idyllic, and they had lots of other great recommendations, including the easy hike to Wizard beach which is stunning and was practically empty.
Located in Bastimentos, Eclypse de Mar Acqua Lodge offers private bungalows and rooms with individual hammocks and stairs that provide access to the ocean. A restaurant is also on site.

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.
Hostal Cay is set in Bastimentos and features a bar. The guest house has family rooms. Some units feature a terrace boasting an outdoor dining area. Sightseeing tours are available within easy reach.

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 Eclypse is a very nice hotel. It looks fantastic, our hut-on-stilts was big and was absolutely fine for our family (children aged 13 and 10). The fact that the property backed onto its own nature reserve gave it an edge over hotels; we saw caiman, a sloth, some cool little red frogs and an impressively sized moth one evening.
For those not so keen on the jungle, there were cocktails and really good food in the restaurant. Not the speediest of service but that wasn't a problem for me; we were on Caribbean time!
Very very hardly recommend, the location is super, the nice jungle walk starts exactly behind of the hotel restaurant (with best views and the 5 stars food).
The owners are always there if you need some advice, they have really good prices for the tours, the snorkeling equipment and the kayaks are available for free, very good snorkeling spot, everything very clean.
It was very nice to stay in Your place Manon and Pierre, big big hugs to Your Chiquitín😊
Thank you for everything!

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!
Beautiful hotel with jungle-feeling directly at the sea. The hosts Carmen and Marcel are awesome. Carmen cooks every night a delicious meal (wow, best food ever!) which you eat with the other guests. So it's really familiar and nice to socialize with the others. Felt like home. :)
Highly recommanded. We would go anytime again.
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.
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!
Luis, the owner, was very friendly and helpful and he and his son were very good cooks! The view from the deck of the hotel was also very nice. Our tour guide was able to pick us up right from the dock and Luis flagged a taxi for us to get back to isla colon!
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
The Bungalows over the water are beautiful. This is a very relaxing place. The food at the hotel was good and the breakfast was excellent. They are very accommodating. We really enjoyed our stay.
Staff was helpfull and nice. Common areas are great, big kitchen, well equiped, great view of the sea. Rooms are spacious and clean. Boats can leave you/pick up right on the hotel if you ask
Everything! Free Spirit Oasis is amazing as is Bastimentos. We loved it so much and will definitely be back and recommending to others. Don't hesitate to book here, it's incredible.
great staff, outstanding food and amazing wildlife! this is the perfect hotel. we stayed in the jungle lodge. well equipped and super nice, you hear the jungle at night.
