Beachfront holiday rental in Bastimentos Island

La casa es muy bonita, y se encuentra justo entre la vegetación, con gran vista a la selva de un lado y la costa por el frente. Es pequeña, aunque adecuada para dos personas. El inodoro está ubicado justo contra la cama, por lo que no hay mucha privacidad a la hora de hacer uso del mismo

This was my second stay there, and it was just as great as the 1st visit - Great location - Highly recommend !! Walking distance to the main street which has plenty restaurants shops, and places to get a water taxi to visit the other close islands and the Floating Bar. We will be back again !!

It feels like a treehouse in the jungle with the sounds of the wildlife and ocean waves in the background. Gloria’s house is not only beautiful but a very peaceful place to stay, incredibly relaxing. There is a bar on the beach and a few restaurants nearby, definitely recommend The Hummingbird for food. There are also two good swimming spots that you can get to after a walk through the jungle and along the beach; La Piscina and the Blue Lagoon. Maybe take a picnic and make an afternoon of it? The house is about 20 minutes from town so it’s a good idea to get some supplies when you first arrive before heading there. Gloria was a great host and Will, the chap who takes care of the house, was also great and they both speak Spanish and English. You’ll be in good hands here. Best of all, how wonderful to wake up in the morning and discover that you are having breakfast with monkeys, eating bananas from a tree right next to you. This is a special place that I shall not forget.

Ich verbrachte drei Wochen in der Unterkunft und war sehr zufrieden! Calvin und Jeovana waren wirklich sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und Daniel war auch immer erreichbar. Die Unterkunft entsprach den Beschreibungen. Es war sehr sauber und ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt. Es hat alles was man braucht. Sehr gefallen hat mir der Sitzplatz auf der einen Seite vom Apartment zum Meer, auf der anderen Seite die Hängematte:) Meistens war es schön ruhig, manchmal hörte man abends die Musik aus einem Restaurant in der Nähe, aber das störte nicht. Es hat einen Supermarkt gleich um die Ecke und mit dem Fahrrad ist man in 7 min im Town, geht aber auch easy zu Fuss oder mit dem Taxi (1$). Gestört haben mich nur meine Nachbarn, die sehr laut waren, aber da hatte ich wohl einfach etwas Pech, mit den anderen war dies kein Problem. ich war insgesamt sehr zufrieden und würde direkt wieder buchen!:)

Escogí La Caribeña entre tantas opciones porque me llamó la atención el deck , las habitaciones y el poder tener salida al mar desde este espacio. Puedo asegurar que no me equivoqué. ¡Qué lugar tan maravilloso! Es un paraíso sobre el mar. Joy y Edu hacen un gran trabajo como anfitriones, están pendientes de todas tus posibles necesidades, siempre te brindan recomendaciones, y por si fuera poco tienen un restaurante hermosísimo a una distancia caminable desde el hospedaje. Son unos anfitriones tan atentos que hasta te obsequian shots de cortesía en su restaurante Ohana, fui todos los días porque la comida era bastante adictiva. Este hospedaje lo tiene todo! Usé los kayaks que se alquilan en el hospedaje y pude recorrer los alrededores de la isla. Finalmente, una lancha me recogió en el deck gracias a la gestión de Joy, quién organizó un tour para mí. Experiencia 10/10 Volvería mil veces ☺️

We loved the location, just far enough from the town to feel secluded but close enough for convenience. Amazing beach just a 2 minute walk away. Fun and comfy stay with AC and all basic needs but you are in the jungle and that comes with jungle friends. Had some small issues with the water as it is rain water dependant but easily fixed by Helena and her wonderful neighbour Alison. Alison is also great if you have any questions about the island! Overall a super cool vacation and highly recommended!

Absolutely loved our time here. Aaron’s house, the island, everything was exactly what we wanted. If we are ever in the area again (and I hope we are) we would definitely book with Aaron again. 10/10.

Exactly as pics describe. Very nice place. Would recommend for anyone that wants a feel for how life is in the Caribbean for locals , the town was very interesting but maybe not the best for someone who wants something very refined or quiet. On one night for instance we heard music through the night as there was a local party. In all I highly recommend. Transport was easy as the water taxis can be organised on a few mins notice and bring you right to the door. Special mention to the ladies working in the restaurant/bar as they were great for food recommendations and organising taxis for us. Do the lobster tour with Manny also , Stacy can arrange

The apartment is a rare find in Bocas, fully equipped, AC in the living room/kitchen, it has everything you might need, very comfortable, Raúl is an excellent host, thanks for letting us stay at your place.

This place was amazing, best Airbnb we’ve stayed in 10 meters away from the beach, hosts were always responsive and very helpful it is paradise.

Super logement très cosy et mignon. Vue magnifique sur la mer depuis la chambre, piscine et au restaurant. Les hôtes sont super accueillants et proposent d’aider pour les excursions ou autre. Très gentils. Le petit déjeuner inclus est un gros plus. Le seule petit « moins » serait de pas pouvoir se baigner directement depuis le logement et devoir marcher pour trouver une chouette plage. Idem pour les restaurants, peu d’options dans les alentours. En résumé, super et on recommande

What the hosts have created is a marvel of artistry and craftsmanship. The pictures do not capture the true magic of the place. From the beautiful gardens to the handcrafted furniture with simple and elegant attention to details. Far beyond our expectations. The hosts are kind, gracious and most welcoming. It’s a slice of heaven on earth.

We had an incredible stay at Skully's hotel! This oceanfront oasis was a unique and special getaway, just 10 minutes outside of town. Our room was oceanfront, and it was such a treat to fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves. The beds were super comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. Skully and Rhonda, and the staff were absolutely wonderful. They made us feel right at home, as did the locals, like Robbie, who often hung out at the lively bar. There were fun activities daily, making the place feel vibrant and full of life, a welcoming community vibe. We loved exploring the area and enjoyed some of the on-site restaurants. The BBQ place was a standout, and we also enjoyed the pizza and breakfast options. However, I wouldn’t recommend Ohana down the road the view was nice, but the food and service didn’t quite match up. For a great dining experience, try Masana, It was fantastic! Thank you to everyone at Skully’s for making our stay so memorable, you're much appreciated!

The Jungle House at Playa Bluff was a great getaway destination for our 2 families, with 4 adults and 6 children, ages 4-11. The pool was great and the sleeping arrangements worked well for us. There is a decent kitchen, but we mostly ate at nearby restaurants or on our daily adventures. The house is about a 25 min taxi ride from the main town and the road can get soupy, but any of the truck taxis can easily get to the house. The beach is stunning, although not great for swimming with rip tides and currents. The host was super responsive to all questions and I would highly recommend this house. We even saw sloths and monkeys right around the house.

Tropical Suite is THE place to be! From the moment we arrived, we felt like part of the fam. The food? OMG, so freaking good! Fresh seafood, killer cocktails—total flavor explosion! And the service? A+. They're like mind readers, always one step ahead. Plus, the room? Cozy and cute, with very nice views. But who needs a room when you've got a pool right on the sea? Yep, amazing pool-bar just downstairs. And the location? Prime time. Beach, rainforest, cute villages—all within reach. Seriously, if you're after a slice of paradise, Tropical Suite is it. Already planning our next vacay here!

6 out of 5 stars for this place! After living in Bocas for more than 6 years & staying at Vidan"s and Al's Place for several months last year, I can say this is one of the most beautiful places to stay in the archipelago. The villa is located right on the sea and their is no direct neighbours or any kind of noise disturbing your peace. The location comes with a wonderful sea breeze, hence no need for A/C. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the BBQ at the terrace invites for hangouts and cooking sessions. If you want to eat out its about 20min walk down to some beach bars in Drago and with a rental car from Bocas town all is easy accessable within 20min . I can only recommend staying here and will be back later this year for sure! Vidan and Ali are wonderful hosts and a local caretaker living close by will assist with anything that needs help here. Great snorkellng right down at the private beach and there is a very swimmable 1km sand beach some 5min walk away. Love it!

La casa de Sylwia es fantástica, la ubicación es increíble, en una isla muy tranquila y con vecinos muy simpáticos y amables. La terraza con vistas al mar es un sueño. Hay que tener en cuenta que tanto para para ir como para salir es imprescindible tomas un water taxi y que en la propia isla los servicios son escasos. Un lugar ideal para desconectar y relajarse. La comunicación con los anfitriones fue excelente en todo momento.

Really good stay! Everything was as accurate as in the listing, the bed was super comfy and everything well stocked. Bathroom was clean and most importantly, there was really good hot water and pressure. The guidebook that Dale sends prior to check in is absolutely amazing, so helpful with getting an overview of everything in the town. There is also a physical copy in the room. Communication throughout the whole process was excellent and very friendly. There is a bit of noise from the neighbouring roosters (as stated in the listing) so bring some sleeping ear plugs and you’ll be fine.

Britta and Alex place is a little gem in the jungle. Yet, just a few meters to a very nice beach. Bluff beach is not really swimmable but extremely beautiful to walk. The trail behind the beach is you plenty of chance to spot wild life. We saw sloths (with baby) hauler monkeys and beautiful birds. Tukans and others are resident on the island. And not to forget the red frogs everywhere. The accommodations are very nice. Clean and everything you may need. The hosts are very responsive and will accommodate with anything if possible. Gracious hosts that make you feel at home. Place is very private. Beds are comfortable. Breakfast was delicious!! Nice restaurants within walking distance. Take the guided frog tour while there, very interesting. Nice place to be away from hectic life. Will come again.

An absolutely majestic location with a phenomenal staff and amazing food! We can't speak highly enough about Michelle & our new friends. This location is a seaside-oasis tailored for escape. The bungalows are tranquil, a scerene seascape. At any given time you are treated like old friends, laughing, learning about the food, the farm, the culture. The beds and amenities are all A+ too! Do yourself a favor and visit De la Luna!!

Great central location but important to know it’s next door to a nightclub that goes hard till 4am. They provide earplugs but fyi

I’ve stayed in at least 49 Air Bnbs, and Denis’ place is number 1! It was the perfect place for me and my husband to spend a blissful week. Highlights: Geraldine’s cooking was over-the- top delicious! We loved them all, breakfast, lunch and dinners. The taste and presentation was world class. The cocktails were unique and yummy. We especially loved the peanut punch. Her meals were so nutritious that we left healthier and happier. The food was locally sourced or caught by Denis Denis’ Dolphin Bay tour was great and we loved the snorkeling. We saw a giant sting ray! We enjoyed the variety of birds around the eco lodge. We also took a tour to the Nöbä indigenous cacao plantation. Very interesting and a wonderful lunch. And we also did the dolphin and sloth tour and had great sightings of both. So much to do, and also just a great place to stay and relax. On our last day we kayaked and snorkeled from the eco lodge. Before we left they gave great advice on Panama City.

Maravillosa cabaña en medio de la selva y con vista al mar desde toda la casa. Tiene un muelle privado donde tomar sol y bañarse en agua cristalina con vista a la selva y a la bahía. Elena es una excelente anfitriona, nos dio muchos datos de qué hacer y cómo movernos en la isla, además de invitarnos a una clase de yoga dirigida por ella en un lugar hermoso. Lo pasamos increíble, volveríamos sin duda a quedarnos allá.

El alojamiento es hermoso, la vista increíble. Te dormís y despertas escuchando el mar. Siempre hablamos con Nadia, quien se comunicó con nosotros unos días de nuestra estadía indicándonos todo y nos recibió de la mejor manera: nos ayudó reservando un taxi que nos esperó en el aeropuerto y llegamos sin inconvenientes a la casa. Está un poco alejada del centro, el taxi cuesta 15 usd pero para nosotros fue la mejor ubicación, el paisaje y la tranquilidad es incomparable, y a solo 10 min caminando esta la playa Bluff, hermosa. A metros de la casa, Nadia y su marido tienen un restaurante que sirven desayuno y cena. Fuimos 3 noches y siempre comimos increíble. Muy recomendable!! Gracias Nadia por tu atención y buena predisposición siempre! Volveríamos sin duda.
