Punta Caracol Acqua Lodge

This is a wonderful place if you are looking for nature and relaxation. Sort of like glamping. Staff is the best

Great view, there was some saftey concerns with loose boards, concrete pillars not making contact with the walkways, and some nails here and there. Its a beautiful place but be ready to spend a few extra dollars. Transport from almirante to bocas is extra. They only provide from bocas to their space and its limited times. Restaurants had good food but portions were small.

Great!

Ok. Here is a review to help people as I have seen some bad reviews. This property is not a $1500/night maldives room. It needs some TLC - some deck boards and railings are at end of life, as are some chairs. We stayed in the master suite and really liked the place. Water is crystal clear, master suite has the best fish viewing, owners are really friendly and eager to please, food and drinks are decent - fresh OJ for the tequila sunrise! The charging station at the reception is not a big deal. I don’t need tvs. Fans kept us cool and it rained almost every night. There were a couple minor damp spots after rain but did not need the provided container. For the price this place is 100% worth it. I would go back in heart beat. If you need a blow dryer and straight iron and other high powered appliances to feel like you at home and need to watch your reality TV on a big screen, you might want to skip this. If you want a great relaxing location and unique experience - do it!

El lugar es hermoso. El hotel está bien pero podría mejorar las instalaciones

The place is very tired and not well maintained. The amenities are not user friendly - e.g. getting into and out of the kayaks from the high dock is very challenging - my daughter fell into the water. There is a shortage of amenities. They were very late picking us up.

En av de vackraste platserna man kan tänka sig. Helt magiskt att ha egen brygga utanför dörren med koraller och fiskar. Ssänorkel och kajak finns att låna. Hammock och solstol ingår. Ljuvligt för den som vill varva ner och koppla ifrån. Anläggningen ligger isolerat från allt annat, placerat långt ute på en egen brygga. Räkna inte med promenader; endast åtkomst från vattnet. Erbjuder gratis båttransfer till/från Bocas Town (20 min) på vissa fasta tider. Olidligt för den som är känslig för tropiska klimatet. Ingen AC. Ingen reglering av takfläkt ovanför sängen. Kan bli väldigt hett på dagen, ingen skugga tidvis utomhus annat än på restaurangen och kan bli kvavt inne i stugan. Organiskt byggda stugor (ekologiskt) medför att regn läcker in (förväntat, det finns en plastback för förvaring av det mest fuktkänsliga) och att palmgrenar slår i blåsten (ljudbild). Ingen el i stugorna (belysning drivs av solpaneler) - ta med egna kraftfulla powerbanks och kontakter/sladdar, som du kan lämna på uppladdning i receptionen. Överraskande förskonad från mygg (torrperiod). Charmig små ödlor hanterar övriga kryp, positivt nog. Trevliga ägare, generösa och tog väl hand om oss (uppgraderade oss till Master Suit pga smekmånad). Lite ensidig restaurang, men förståeligt pga litet och intimt (ca 8 stugor). Sävlig personal, men även det ingår lite i allmänna stämningen med nedvarvning. Restaurangen är öppen på sidorna och har en rad med solstolar och badtrappa (bra för stora sällskap).

It was a beautiful quiet gem of a spot loved ever minute of it if you are lucky enough to stay here do it!!!!!!

Excelente lugar, excelentes vistas y espectacular servicio y atención.

Okay condition, walkway was poor condition, was scary to walk on it, was rainy and windy window couldn't be closed.

Great place to stay at Isla Colon.

As estruturas do hotel necessitam de uma reforma, o lugar é lindo, equipe boa. Tenha em consideração que vc irá para um hotel ecológico, não tem televisão, a recarga do celular é feita somente na recepção e vc ficará longe da cidade . Ciente disso é uma boa opção.

Very clean rooms, the food was eh and the views are amazing.

Beautiful location and customer service was outstanding. The only issue we had was mainly the location and inability to charge devices in your lodge - devices needed to be left with reception to charge. While they had set times for free water taxis into Bocas Town, if you needed to leave outside of these times, it could cost anywhere from $15-$30USD/person for a one-way trip from local water taxis (well beyond the typical $1-$5USD/person for travel if you're in town). If you're looking to do lots of exploring and island hopping it may be a bit more of a hassle, but if you're looking to relax and disconnect, this is the place for you! Major shoutout to the staff for being so accommodating during our stay :)

The lady at reception was amazing. Always helpful and kind. The same with the breakfast staff and the boat operators. However, some things are not evident on Hotels.com website. First, each bungalow functions on a marine battery, which powers the lamps and ceiling fans only. I use a CPAP medical device which would not run on such a low voltage. I would have brought a battery pack for mine if I had known in advance. The bungalow itself is two floors and I found the steep stairs to be challenging at times. The back of the bungalow is open and a nice ocean breeze flows through. It rained a few times with the wind so the rain came inside through the "window". Use the provided plastic container for your electronics or valuables. You have to charge any electronics at reception. It would be wise to charge things like a battery bank at that spot and then charge more expensive items from your battery afterwards. The food served in the restaurant was average.

Viaje con mi familia, simplemente un lugar mágico

Excelent

Absolutely stunning! Beautiful place on the water, very peaceful and super friendly staff!!

It was very nice and very serene. Nice little getaway. The water right outside the porch your private porch is great. If you are looking for peace and quiet this is your place. No TV, no fridge no outlets so I just suggest bring some power banks and you can charge at the front desk. The staff was nice and I believe the owners were there too and were super nice. We also got to see a few dolphins swimming close to our bungalow a couple of times.

Foi uma experiência muito positiva, minhas crianças pequenas amaram estar praticamente dentro do mar. É lindo! A comida é boa! Saliento que eu sabia que era uma cabine com pouca energia elétrica, então eu fui preparadara para essa experiência mais rústica! 1 ou 2 dias são suficientes para quem vai com crianças. Tudo muito limpo e time atencioso. Não tem ar condicionado (o que é normal em um local com energia elétrica limitada)
