Our boutique 6 room lodge is a 3 minute uphill hike from our dock. We are on an island with no cars or roads & only accessible by water taxi to all the neighboring islands. From the lodge there are beautiful jungle, garden and ocean views. Enjoy relaxing at the pool, or taking out our kayaks, SUP’s or surfboards and exploring the coral reef just beyond the dock and so rounding property. Enjoy a hearty cooked to order breakfast and explore the nearby beaches or have us help with booking many local tours. WE ALSO OFFER DINNER SERVED 5 NIGHTS A WEEK, RESERVATIONS ONLY.
Expats from Northern California, we enjoy good food, are social and showing off what we love about Bastimentos and all of Bocas Del Toro.
From the Lodge, we look over the quaint village of Old Bank where “true” Caribbean life still exhists. Walk to beautiful untouched Wizard Beach or taxi to Red Frog beach. There is plenty of adventure on our island, and surrounding areas.
