Your accommodation

Nestled between the rich vegetation of the Bocas del Toro jungle is where you will find your accommodation. This spacious bungalow comes equipped with two dormitory-style rooms containing bunk beds, and a single room with a queen-size bed. The space also includes two bathrooms, a kitchen, dining room and a living room.

The bungalow is in close proximity to the dive centre and just 80 metres from the beach. After an adventure-filled day, enjoy the tranquillity of the jungle and soak up the last rays of the sun from one of the bungalow terraces.

At night, sit down for a communal meal with housemates, share stories and prepare for the next day. Before sneaking off to bed, be sure to carve out some time for our adorable base dog, Mika!
