Great little cabin just far enough off the road to be able to appreciate being in the jungle. We saw howler monkeys, Toucans and other cool tropical birds. Great bed and shower. Awesome deck. David was extremely helpful with dinner reco’s, taxis etc…. Loved the location as it’s very walkable to beaches, restaurants, bike rentals. Highly recommend.

David is truly rad. The space he has created is an epic experience to take advantage of. Despite booking this less than 12 hours in advance, he went above and beyond to ensure I had a nice check-in experience. The days and nights to follow were filled with jungle sounds and waves crashing in the distance. Taking advantage of the surf rental spot down the hill and scrumpcious food just a stone's throw away. I feel very lucky to have stumbled upon this place. He gave wonderful recommendations for food and adventure experiences. 10/10 will book here the next time I visit.

This place is magical. David, aka “Odessa”, is great. Getting to the place is an adventure, and once there, you are surrounded by jungle (without bugs) and the sound of the ocean.

Great little spot right on the most consistent surf break in the area. It is walkable to many restaurants and other surf breaks in the area as well. David was a good host. He made himself available without being intrusive. Hot water, coffee, fresh coconut water, and clean tiled bathroom was a plus. Pretty rustic for a person who is used to the Hilton, but it has all the creature comforts situated right on the waves and main gathering spot. The road from the house that wanders down the hill is bit slippery after rain, but short. Overall I recommend for solo, or couple, or small family.

INCREDIBLE AUTHENTIC JUNGLE EXPERIENCE BUT WITH ALL THE COMFORT!! I stayed for 2 nights at David’s place on my solo trip to bocas del toro and I can’t recommend it enough! The place was gorgeous on inside and the outside was just amazing, surrounded by jungle but 2 mins from the water too! Everything was clean, and the bed was SUPER comfortable!! David was extremely friendly and helpful with immediate responses when I had questions throughout my whole stay! I rented a ATV and David let me park it on site no problem. Perfect stay!

It’s was just what we were looking for. Not the hustle and bustle of city. It was up in the hill and we loved it!! If your going power goes out a lot on the island so bring flashlights! Overall great place! Car taxi can’t make the hill. So get a bus or truck taxi. Good times.

David was a friendly host and the accommodations were very comfortable. I enjoyed the location within walking distance to a nice beach and a couple restaurants. The kitchenette and balcony with hammock were a real treat! The balcony was great for wildlife viewing, including a sloth. Please note it is on a hill so may not be easy for all to walk and if you get a taxi, a truck is best.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Charming room and deck, in a jungle setting, just overlooking a great surf break. Our hosts were very helpful and accommodating with setting up and recommending fun adventures. Be ready for big, healthy breakfasts with fresh juice, fruit bowls, pancakes, eggs and more. Lots of fuel for the day, which I needed due to my obsessive surf habit. Definitely rent a quad while you’re there, as taxis get expensive quick. We definitely had an amazing time. If you’re looking for a resort style hotel- this isn’t the place. But if you’re good with a rustic, cabin villa style bed and breakfast with a warm friendly vibe, it’s a no brainer. Oh and the Wi-Fi worked well too.

Would most definitely recommend Surf Break at Paunch to anyone staying Bocas del Toro. Especially if you are not big into the the night life scene that is all over Bocas town or are just looking to get away from city life and want to be in nature

Ich mochte, dass es mitten im Dschungel war und trotzdem in Strandnähe. Es war sehr ruhig dort, bis auf die Affen und Vögel, aber diese erwartet man ja in solch einem Urlaub.
David, der Betreiber, ist ein sehr netter und hilfsbereiter Mensch und er machte den Aufenthalt zu einem Unvergessenen. Ich habe mich sehr gut erholt.

L'hôtel est dans un endroit magnifique, au milieu de la jungle avec une terrasse grandiose. David nous a accueilli très convablement. Cependant, l'hôtel n'était pas à la hauteur du descriptif (pas de service de nettoyage quotidien, pas de restaurant sur place, terrasse de la chambre partagée avec les voisins, hamac déchiré inutilisable). Nous n'avions pas d'intimité car les fenêtres sans rideaux opaques donnaient sur le parking et il n'y avait aucun insonorisation. Nous pouvions donc entendre tout ce que racontaient nos voisins et réciproquement. Très déçu car le prix est très élevé.

Mignonne guest house en retrait de bocas à proximité de la jungle ce qui nous aura permis de voir des singes et paresseux le matin au réveil .
Petit dej merveilleux , hôtes d’une extrême gentillesse , merci à David et sa compagne.
Vélo dispos sur place et indispensables si vous ne voulez pas payer le taxi à chaque virée en ville (entre 6 et 10$ pour 2 selon l’humeur des chauffeurs ) ou faire 1h30 de marche
Une adresse à ne pas manquer
Merci

Super Hostel auf der Hauptinsel Isla Colon.
Nur 15min mit dem Taxi vom Hafen entfernt.
Möglichkeit mit Fahrrädern kostenlos die Insel zu erkunden, zum schönen Strand "Playa Bluff" sind es nur wenige Minuten.
Frühstück war ausgezeichnet, Besitzer David und seine Mum sehr nett und hilfsbereit.
Der Paunch Strand an sich ist weniger schön, da er als Straße benutzt wird.
Zimmer sind sehr geräumig und schön, kein TV. Allerdings sehr hellhörige Bungalows.
