The Lodge at Punta Rica- Hilltop Eco-Lodge with Views & Pool, hotel in Bastimentos

The Lodge at Punta Rica- Hilltop Eco-Lodge with Views & Pool is a recently renovated bed and breakfast in Bastimentos, where guests can makes the most of its pool with a view, private beach area and...

Punta Rica Lodge is nestled in the Bastimentos island jungle, surrounded by beautiful flora (trees, colorful flowers) and fauna (amazingly rich wildlife). We loved our super friendly, open, fun and helpful hosts, Brian and Daniel, who have made us truly feel at ease and among friends in this beautiful place. Most nights we ate dinner together, since Dan cooks the most amazing and varied dishes, all from fresh, local ingredients, while Brian makes wonderful cocktails that made us feel at home and among friends, sharing stories, dreams and travel adventures. We loved the pool and the common area (living and dining room), as well as our amazing suite, the delicious and fresh meals and the smiles. Thank you. It was one of the most amazing experiences ever.

Eclypse de Mar Acqua Lodge, hotel in Bastimentos

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, hotel in Bastimentos

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.

It was very simple, though this is expected given the location of being at the water front along the Caribbean and of a very simple town. I arrived about noon and they quickly cleaned the restroom, which added.

    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 room and the private deck are wonderful. The view is beautiful. You can freely use the kayaks and explore the waters where dolphins swim which is pretty nice. The boat ride to Bocas town or Old Banks is short so it’s easy to go out for dinner and drinks. We did a boat tour to the Zapatilla islands and dolphin bay which was nice. The owners are very helpful in arranging anything you need like water taxi’s or dinner reservations.

    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!

    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.

    A uniquely beautiful accommodation on the quiet island of Bastimentos. For all those who are looking for peace and quiet it is exactly the right accommodation. Kayak and snorkeling equipment is available, the rooms are spacious, the food takes place in a wonderful atmosphere. Hosts are incredibly friendly, we would come back anytime and highly recommend it.

    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

    After not sleeping well the first night, we got a new and bigger room with a balcony. They did take this seriously. The hotel is located right in the middle of everything and close to the two stores on the island. You also get decent outdoor areas with waterfront views.

    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!
