Beachfront holiday rentals in Bastimentos Island

The house is very nice, and is located right between the greenery, with great view of the jungle on one side and the coast by the front. It is small, although suitable for two people. The toilet is located right against the bed so there is not much privacy when using it

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.

It is by far our favorite place we stayed in Panama. The view is absolutely amazing, every evening we saw beautiful sunsets. You are surrounded by a beautiful garden with lots of birds what sing every morning. You definitely don’t need an alarm. The room was even bigger than we expected. Jeovana and his husband were very helpful and friendly. Very good price for the laundry!!

Our host was very helpful. it was a perfect location for our group. the view from the large deck/outdoor seating area was beautiful. kitchen is very large and well equipped. rooms were comfortable and clean. all this and over the water. I recommend this place %100.

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.

Great accommodation very cozy and cute. Beautiful sea view from the bedroom, pool and restaurant. The hosts are super welcoming and offer to help with excursions or otherwise. Very nice. Breakfast included is a big plus. The only small "minus" would be to be able to swim directly from the accommodation and have to walk to find a nice beach. Same for restaurants, few options nearby. In short, great and we recommend

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.

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!

Heaven is a place on earth. Pool House 2 was the perfect place for me; the garden is simply magnificent. You can observe various animals (e.g., hummingbirds). The place is very quiet at night, and you sleep like a baby. Being so close to the ocean, you can hear the waves. The bedroom has good air conditioning, so even hot nights are no problem. The pool is perfect for cooling off. Johanna is a kind-hearted person who you immediately like. She greets her guests personally and explains everything in detail. I highly recommend this place and Johanna as a host.

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!

Sylwia's house is fantastic, the location is amazing, on a very quiet island and with very nice and friendly neighbors. The terrace overlooking the sea is a dream. Keep in mind that both to get there and to leave, it is essential to take a water taxi and that services are scarce on the island itself. An ideal place to disconnect and relax. Communication with the hosts was excellent at all times.

The Treehouse is a great and unique space. The price also includes breakfast in the cafe, which was very tasty. One morning we woke up and had howler monkeys right in front of our cottage. A great experience.

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!!

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.

Cecilia and her husband are wonderful hosts; very friendly and responsive. The apartment is located in a beautiful location where jungle and beach intersect. It is very peaceful. Beautiful sunrises. There are a few very good restaurants within walking distance and Bocas town is a very short drive or long walk ( I did walk it once). A couple things I really appreciated that I wish more Airbnbs did were the non-toxic stainless steal cookware and a yoga mat that were provided. If I return to Bocas I will look for this listing’s availability.

What a lovely place and the most excellent hosts! We had a wonderful time as a family (with young kids). We walked to La Piscina our first day upon arrival and saw howler monkeys in the trees above us and a sloth in a tree alongside the path. Our surf lessons with Esquela Del Mar on Isla Carenero was one of our favorite days. The place is exactly as the description and photos. The fans provide great air circulation, the kitchen is great for preparing meals (or walkable to restaurants), the porch is beautiful and comfortable, and the bathroom is spacious and gorgeous. We loved our stay!

Wonderful cabin in the jungle and with ocean views from the entire house. It has a private dock where you can sunbathe and bathe in crystal clear water with a view of the jungle and the bay. Elena is an excellent host, she gave us a lot of information on what to do and how to move on the island, as well as inviting us to a yoga class directed by her in a beautiful place. We had an amazing time, we would definitely stay there again.
