Amazing stay! Firstly, perfect location, literally 6 min walk from the airport. It is located by the sea with a nice deck to sunbathe and jump to the water for a swim. There’s also a space for the boats to stop by for all excursions you book or if you want to take a water taxi somewhere, so no need to even walk to any port (you would be located right in Bocas with loads of restaurant/cafe options around within minutes of walking). The restaurant area is also right there with a great view and great food/drinks. The breakfast included is generous with 1 option of choice for the food and 2 options for drink. The room we stayed at was spectacular (family sea view), super clean, spacious, bright, nicely decorated and a huge balcony with a great view to the sea. The property also organizes an activity every night (movie night, Caribbean dinner, live music, beer pong, etc) which is a nice touch. They also offer a welcome drink where you meet other guests and interact with each other upon arrival (meet up at the restaurant at 5:30pm for it). I liked the mix of hostel + hotel vibes. Overall great stay and 100% recommend. Would definitely come back :)

Dear Bambuda Bocas Town - Hostel Management, I am writing to provide feedback regarding my recent stay. While the view from my room was excellent, I was disappointed to be charged a fee for having a fellow traveler briefly visit to see the view. I was unaware of your guest visitation policy, and in my experience, such visits are typically not an issue at other establishments. Beyond the fee itself, I felt that the hospitality and etiquette shown by your staff during this interaction lacked the warmth that makes a guest feel welcome. I believe this situation could have been handled much more professionally. I hope you find this feedback constructive for improving your guest experience. Best regards, Alan Kiczula

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.

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!
