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.

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.
Glamping in a jungle near a beautiful Caribbean white sand beach. The food was excellent with happy hours between 5 to 7 pm where the beers and mixed drinks were a great value. We especially like the variety of local and global travelers that visited and frequented there. The bathing and restroom facilities were clean and accessible. We enjoyed excursions to other islands that can be booked at the counter. They do have filtered drinkable water locations for filling water bottles.
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 staff were lovely and food nice. Breakfast in the communal dining area was lovely as was dinner.
However our rooms were awful. It was unbearably hot, no breeze, fan did not work well. No air con. We asked for an extra fan but it was inadequate. The rooms were not that clean, no hot water.
Worst of all the sheets were made of awful sweaty nylon. So made you even hotter . Never get slept so badly in a hotel would advise people to avoid until they get air con and cotton sheets
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!
Everything was just perfect !
Carmen and Marcel are the best hosts we've ever had in our trips.
Staying at Carmen's is like being part of the family. They took care of us at every moment. Breakfast and meals are delicious and the room had a beautiful view on the Caribbean sea.
Perfection is at your fingertips !
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!
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.
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.
We took the room with the AC, it was a beautiful room. The food was great, Yoga class with Sam was amazing, and we really enjoyed tge Zapatilla tour (make sure to pay you tour guy and not tge hotel).
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
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.
Very nice staff. The natural reserve of the hotel is beautiful and we saw caimans, turtles and sloths. Food was good. We had a hamac on our tiny porch.
