"Eclypse del Mar is a uniquely, beautiful location. We stayed both in the overwater bungalows and the treehouse so we were able to enjoy the ocean and forest views. We were thrilled to be able to feed the fish through the opening in the living room floor of the bungalow.
The staff is so welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Rashi, JJ and Francesca made us feel right at home.
We had some of the best animal sightings at the reserve, including a mother sloth, travelling the treetops with its twins...
"We stayed for four nights in the jungle lodge with ocean view. The lodge and view were excellent. The lodge is rustic but comfortable, with excellent air conditioning, clean bedrooms and bathroom.

The pool, beach and zipline are all worthwhile experiences. The hotel staff will help you reserve...
"What a gorgeous beach! This was a magical place with the friendliest staff, a great restaurant, and beautiful accommodations. I chose the Jungalow room because I wanted to be immersed in nature.

Otherwise very happy with the stay and the staff!"
"My stay at the Lodge at Punta Rica was one of the most enjoyable and relaxing vacations I have ever had. Nestled on a hilltop on Bastimentos Island and overlooking the Caribbean Sea, the lodge was a peaceful haven of tranquility, beauty, and relaxation—exactly what I needed after a hectic and stressful season of life. The hotel staff met me at the airport and transported me by boat to Bastimentos Island, a short 20-minute ride from Bocas del Toro Isla Colón.

"La habitación posee ventilador, pero la ventana carece de mosquitero. Destaco la atención del dueño y la encargada que a pesar de estar haciendo refacciones no cancelaron la reserva y permitieron que nos alojáramos como únicos pasajeros en el hostel. Excelente la excursión a Cayo Zapatilla con Randall y Amir, el budín de Tita imperdible!!"
