I was exhausted and patiently waited for 3pm to come so i could get some rest. It took 28 minutes, after asking ywice about the room tone taken to the room. ##### Wendy Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Oneil Aug 31, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Phenomenal Property! Bambuda is exceptional! From the moment you enter the property, the décor amazes you. From the fantastic wall art to all the wooden fixtures and furniture, everything is designed to impress. Check-In was a breeze and though there was no hot water in the newer section of the building, I didn't miss it because the water was room temperature. The private rooms are beautifully appointed with breathtaking views of the ocean. I loved that the hand and body wash in the bathroom are eco-friendly. In fact, the lodge is very eco-conscious. The bar/restaurant serves delectable food at reasonable prices. Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with my stay and would book again in a heartbeat on my next trip back to Bocas del Toro! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/76FADF8AC092CD5C7D1BCCB7DF61E1090A3120B41661913638415.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9E31B3BBC7DDEFB0B77AFA43F7A5459F53678F821661913647984.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3D0C08261035416AA00F4E226CE4E88E634813061661913665280.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8861AEAD708BCC3C7358420E5CC519D0EFA41D711661913691611.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Oneil Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Huyen Feb 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful water view lounge, restaurant and room Lovely ocean view suite which was nice, quiet and peaceful to watch the days go by while working. Although early check-in wasn't available, there is luggage storage and access to the common lounge/restaurant area which was a beautifully decorated space to enjoy with the water swing, floaties and access to swim right from the deck. The front desk team were extremely friendly and helpful with checking in on stay and providing local information with tours. I loved that there was filtered water available to guests to reduce plastic bottles. Although one night the water cut-off but this is common on the island as they depend on rain so use mindfully. The included breakfast was also nice with international vegetarian options. Would not hesitate to stay here again, although it is a bit on the higher end if wanting the overwater rooms. ##### Huyen Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Yaron May 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful little slice of heaven We had a fantastic stay at Bambudas. The entire staff were amazing. The facility itself is wonderful. You feel the boutique hotel vibe mix with a friendly young backpackers atmosphere. The food and drinks at the cafe are great. People are always asking how everything is and take great pride in working there. Only two things I could think of to make the stay better. One, definitely ass a safe to the rooms this way people can lock away passports and other valuables. Secondly I would get a proper ladder installed to get in and out of the water. Someone is bound to get hurt on the broken ladder they have there currently I know I almost did. Other than those two things this place is awesome! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C1028428071BEEAD661D93FC988A1753130341A51683405876378.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/BF095CF4DDB76508A5A7052A86A59AF2880858561683405876380.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7D31A7BDCF3CEF62BE6313E8E0FF49C562F0D7DD1683405876451.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B4C47633F019C3E9E99F3A74915527562DAC453F1683405876240.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Yaron Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Dec 9, 2022 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not so good stay! We had a two nights stay at Bambuda during our visit to Colon Island. The premium queen room that we booked felt small, and apparently none of the rooms at Bambuda have hot water for shower. So we had no other choice but cold shower, which was unpleasant since the water is quite cold in November. We feel the owner should at least mentioned in their listing description that hot water is not available so guests know up front when booking. Adding to that, my husband had a near miss incident when the shower head came crashing to the floor narrowly missing his head (would have been a decent bruise otherwise). When reported, the staff didn’t seem to care at all and did not fix the shower head issue until the following day. So no shower for one night. Not to mention shampoo and conditioner were not provided. It seems like they don’t want us to take showers at all. Also, the towels have stained spots, and the hotel did not have any extra for replacement when we requested. Unfortunately We can’t recommend this place due to the bad experience during our stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashleigh Oct 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Well maintained premises and friendly staff. ##### Ashleigh Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Maria Fernanda Sep 9, 2025 Un día no nos arreglaron la habitación, tuvimos que pedir que la arreglaran y habíamos estado todo el día fuera.

Chambre spacieuse, confortable et bien équipée. Carte du petit déjeuner diverse et savoureuse avec un bémol concernant la qualité du jus d’ananas imposé avec chaque petit déjeuner inclus avec la chambre. Toutefois, le service à table et l’accueil à la réception ne sont pas au rendez-vous. A noter, qu’il y a actuellement de gros travaux bruyants à côté de l’hôtel. En conclusion, Bambuda, qui appartient au même groupe que Palmar Beach Lodge, est un très bel hôtel mais avec un service qui n’est pas à la hauteur, tout comme son grand frère Palmar. ##### Hugo Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Punta Caracol Acqua Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Bocas-Del-Toro-Hotels-Punta-Caracol-Acqua-Lodge.h889730.Hotel-Information) > > [Gran Evenia Bijao & Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-Hato-Hotels-Bijao-Beach-Resort.h72094557.Hotel-Information) > > [The Buenaventura Golf & Beach Resort Panama, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Chiru-Hotels-The-Buenaventura-Golf-Beach-Resort-Panama.h2499390.Hotel-Information) > > [Playa Blanca Beach Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-Hato-Hotels-Playa-Blanca-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h967117.Hotel-Information) > > [Riande Aeropuerto Hotel & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Tocumen-Hotels-Riande-Aeropuerto-Hotel-Casino.h26240.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Palenque Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Boca-Chica-Hotels-Isla-Palenque.h19388014.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Grand Bend Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Bend-Beach-Hotels.0-l553248621562267847-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Crowne Plaza Panama Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Tocumen-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Panama-Airport.h8836117.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Calgary Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Calgary-Airport.h787696.Hotel-Information) > > [Cottages St. John's](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Johns-Cottages.d181832-aaCottages.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Duluth](https://www.expedia.ca/Duluth-Hotels.d1029.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Peaks Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-Peaks-Hotel-And-Suites.h3150654.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Niagara-Falls.h1403139.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Casco Viejo](https://www.expedia.ca/Casco-Viejo-Panama-City-Hotels.0-n6285189-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Puerto Plata](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Plata-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6048790-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [La Casa de la Abuela](https://www.expedia.ca/Boquete-Hotels-La-Casa-De-La-Abuela.h10961606.Hotel-Information) > > [NAYARA Bocas del Toro](https://www.expedia.ca/Bocas-Del-Toro-Hotels-Bocas-Bali.h51300004.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Bali](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Bali.d602651.Hotel-Destinations) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d42-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) ### Flights > [Flights from British Columbia (YXJ) to Kamloops (YKA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxj/yka/fort-saint-john-to-kamloops) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Miami (MIA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mia/toronto-to-miami) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Mumbai (BOM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/bom/vancouver-to-mumbai) > > [Flights from Cali (CLO) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/clo/yyz/cali-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/las/toronto-to-las-vegas) ### Cars
