Oasis is truly something else, and I must admit I was hesitant at first as I have never really stayed in BnB's as I am one for the comfort of hotels. However, that said, Wendy, Simon, and the Oasis staff were incredibly welcoming the moment I stepped foot out the taxi. Being a solo traveller, I wasn't really sure what I was getting myself into in Bocas del Toro, but Oasis felt like home away from home and they could not do enough for you.
The View (Oasis restaurant) was superb and the menu changes daily. There are several restaurants along Playa Bluff and it is a short hop into town so you are not totally isolated. The staff are more than happy to provide recommendations for absolutely anything, including help spotting wildlife such as: Sloths, Toucans, Howler Monkey's etc. They are happy to arrange excursions across the archipelago or anything else you may want/need for. There's plenty of walks and the beach is superb to relax and just take in the surroundings. It is a slower pace of life and whilst not completely cut-off, I would say be patient with things such as the WiFi as it's not the same speeds as home.
I felt safe and comfortable for the duration of my stay, after all you are surrounded by nature and it makes for some great walks and photo opportunities to keep you occupied. Panama is my 34th country visited and Oasis made it truly memorable and I will always be grateful to Wendy, Simon and the staff who helped make it that way.
