Cool location in the lush jungle with walking paths and warm water! I only lost a little skin on the waterslide, but still so fun! The included hike to hospital point was surprisingly perfect. Nightime underwater glow worms were a trip! I didn’t book this room, but they put me in a sea urchin shaped upsides pool, it was cool. The second night I did get eaten alive by mosquitoes (from under the door and ceiling circle air vent wasn't a perfect closure. Fan was very needed, but still a bit hot one night in Oct, Food was okay, ceviche was the best I’ve had in Panama! All was healthy at least! What an adventure!

Very nice Hostel in a beautiful spot. The staff is just great, very friendly, fun and helpful!! I'd definately recommend staying there. The atmosphere is very relaxing but the party spots are just a short boat-ride away.

Bambuda is a wonderful place and highly recommended. We had an issue with La Loma Jungle Lodge chocolate tour and water taxi. The proprietors at Bumbuda where able to help resolve.

Charming, secluded, eco-friendly lodge on Isla Solarte. Overall, the stay was very enjoyable! The highlight of the property is the stunning, open bar and check-in/lounge area. The property offers a great mix of social, hostel dorms, and more isolated, solo/couple bungalows, with the ensuing social balance reflective of this. The bar offers incredible views of the water and mainland. Here is where you will find the hostel’s social dining areas, including the property’s family-style dinner offerings. The property itself is a series of structures and bungalows threaded across a wooden walkway in the middle of the jungle. My room, the bungalow located furthest away, is almost completely in the jungle. I would not at all hesitate to return to Bambuda. It offers good accommodation, trip-planning for activities on nearby islands, and thoughtfully-designed common areas. Staff was super friendly and helpful with service and requests. I really enjoyed their friendly and hospitable disposition. Some downsides are that the limited access and meal options on the island can be trying, but should be known or otherwise understood before arriving to the hostel. Nevertheless, this is a most compelling option for those visiting Bocas!

This place is awesome. A short boat right from Bocas town, a cool communal vibe with private bungalows if you want them. Crowd skews young. Bar and pool area are great. Waterslide is fun but dangerous - there's a reason you need to sign the waiver. Food is pretty good though the fact that you have to get your dinner orders in at least 2 hours in advance can be a bummer. Overall a great experience.
