We loved absolutely everything about Bambuda lodge! It’s a little oasis perfect for a little jungle getaway, optimal for couples or even single travelers - every day they organize a welcome drink for everyone and some activity, that you can, but don’t have to be a part of. It’s possible to buy food there all day long, with prices usually from 9-12$. There are many games you can borrow, a long slide or a kayak or paddle board for rent for 4$. You can also take a jungle hike for free with snorkeling. The staff was very friendly and made us feel like home throughout our stay.

The owner, Marta is super helpful and nice. The hostal has a well equipped kitchen, is really relaxed and a station to fill up containers with water for 0,25$ a gallon is nearby. The hostal is built on the sea, therefore you can hear the waves quite loud, which I liked.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location and if you like to party it is the perfect spot to meet new people. Also, everyday new activities and you should make sure to be at the Filthy Friday party (everyone around is coming and the whole hostel is packed!).

    The location is perfect, just one min away from Bocas town. The hostel got a lot of potential, keep in mind is a party hostel so it's very loud, but if you are looking to meet new people this is the right place.
