I stayed in the sea view dorm for 4 for this part of my trip and the dorm was lovely. Great facilities, lovely view, expensive treat and wished I'd not messed my dates up as I might have spoilt myself and stayed there rather than going to the 6 bed dorm as the 4 bed dorm I first stayed in was true to life in the pictures and I got lulled into a false sense of security by the pictures on the web site showing the 6 bed dorm which in fact looked nothing like the pictures which was a shame. This party of my stay exceeded my expectations the 2nd but didn't x

I had an amazing stay at the bambuda lodge, the staff are all super nice. Even with the construction I just didn't really want to leave. I have never had this good food at a hostal. Also I would love to thank Martha and Fredo for the lovely jungle hike. You can also see sloths from the pool and dolphins playing in the bay.

The atmosphere there was great! Things to improve: electric plugs on each bed (just one or two in each room for 4 people) , and bigger places to accommodate your belongings (small lockers in the public hall)

Reliably hot showers, roof top seating, and complimentary coffee will always win me over. Private room even had a mini fridge and aircon which is quite luxurious by hostel standards.

The food was amazing. To walk out of your room each day to a welcoming staff with great food and drink choices was incredible. Plus, the views from Aqua Lounge are top tier. The swimming too - everything about our stay was great!

    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.
