Bambuda Lodge

Bocas del Toro

Bambuda Lodge is located in the tropical rain forest in Bocas del Toro. The property features a coral reef off its dock and a swimming pool with an on-site bar and a fun and social atmosphere. WiFi access is available for guests.

The property offers individual beds in dormitories or private rooms. You can enjoy views of the ocean, an outdoor seating area, a safety deposit box and bed linen. Staying in Bambuda is like being lost in Paradise. I don’t think you can be closer to nature. The gardens are beautiful. Pool area is exquisite with lots of different places to relax at (sunbeds, monkey net, swings, hammocks, sofas). Food is delicious. The staff is very kind and they are always around to help. Everything is well organised and all the buildings are beautifully decorated. Take the free jungle-hike with them in the morning! (Although you can do it on your own as well.) You can rent kayaks too. The whole complex runs on solar energy and rainwater, but there is no shortage, and there was always plenty of hot water. No dangerous animals on the island. I have no words… it was difficult to leave.

The nearest airport is Bocas del Toro Isla Colon International Airport, a few steps from the hostel. My favorite place to stay in Bocas.. Jaguar and his staff are super friendly and helpful… The 3 hour happy hour is great, the two kitchens are greatly needed when it’s busy and the location over the water is perfect for relaxing in the hammocks… Also, the improvements to Old Bank and the trail to Wizard Beach itself have helped with the whole experience.
