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.

A private terrace is offered in each bungalow at Aqua Lodge. A glass panel is inside the bungalows, which guests can use to obverse marine wildlife under their feet. Impressive sunsets and sea views can also be enjoyed from each unit.

This hotel is absolutely beautiful. Perfect location, great friendly staff and few silly dogs that make the family atmosphere. We stayed in the room in the main building and it was clean, not noisy at all. I particularly enjoyed the hammock on the front porch. The food is good, it is in the panamanian price range (so it can seem expensive, but it’s similar in the whole Panama). There is a nature park on the property, where we saw sloths, red frogs, kaymans and other animals. We also highly reccomend the guided tours with local guides, they are super nice and there is a lot to see. :)

With Paunch Beach reachable in 300 metres, Skully's House offers accommodation, a restaurant, an outdoor swimming pool, a terrace and a bar. Complimentary WiFi is featured throughout the property.

Guests at the lodge can enjoy billiards on site, or hiking in the surroundings.

Loved staying at Skullys. Great spot. Very well thought out and welcoming. The dorm rooms are amazing, built like the inside of a ship! Very well equipped kitchens and good food storage. Staff are very professional and helpful. Activities going on which the locals come to so great place to meet people. Restaurants on site, can be a bit hit and miss. It’s 3kms from town but only a short taxi ride which they can organise for you.

The rustic and ecological Tesoro Escondido Ecolodge Cabinas offers accommodation in Big Bluff Beach. Located in a secluded area of Colon, this property uses solar panels. Bocas Town is 5 km from the property. Free WiFi is available in the shared lounging areas.

I wanted to be in nature (green, jungle, listening to the birds etc ) and looking at ocean. View was fantastic. Looking at different birds and howler monkey was fun. I could not see sloths but they said you may see them at night on the tree in front of their dining area. It is very relax and cozy atmosphere. Unique decoration, nature inside and out. It can be basic for some people but Shower pressure was good. Most of the time, I do not need to use the fan, Just breeze from the wind was comfortable. I love everything they offered.

Offering a waterfront pool and a panoramic terrasse over islands of the archipelago, El Caribeo is situated on San Cristobal Island - Bocas del Toro. 10 min boat ride from Bocas Town.

The hotel provides rooms and one bungalow with seaview, private bathroom, hot water and private terrace.

Our stay was exceptional. The grounds are beautiful. We snorkeled right in front of the property and it was amazing! We were hosted by Romain, who was very accommodating. Our meals were delicious, the drinks were well made. After dinner, we sat and spoke with Romain about his experiences in Panama and the history of the property. This is a wonderful place to stay and exists only out the determination of a group of young people who wanted to live the Panama dream. We highly recommend it!

Looking for a lodge?

Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.

    We had an amazing stay at Ataraxia, the hosts are so welcoming and friendly. We stayed in a sea view lodge which was perfect, the balcony had lovely views of the sea and jungle. On our second day we used the complimentary kayaks and went through the mangroves seeing sloths and many birds - an incredible experience! Thank you

    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.

    We loved the lodge on the water but unfortunately there was no path to the restaurants on the island. We took a watertaxi and it was fine :)

    The stay in the Palmar Beach Lodge was excellent. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Food and Drinks in the Restaurant were very well. (vegeterian and vegan options) The beach was awesome. Although the rip currents was very safty to swim, because there is a lifeguard and the flags shows you, were you can swim.

    The place was beyond my expectations. Ecolodge at its best, with a wonderful room and deck in front of the sea, staff hired from nearby communities, and exquisite meals and cocktails. Wifi only available after a short walk, which forces you to healthily manage your connection time... this is sustainable tourism for real!

    the Palmar lodge clearly benefits from its location but forgets that it should also cater for its guests. rooms are nice, yet expensive for what you get
