Isla Bastimentos Beach Hotel

"The property is breathtaking! Absolutely beautiful. Staff was kind. The lodge was stayed in was comfortable and spacious. The view from the balcony was stunning. Wish there was one more restaurant in the property. There are times when the only restaurant does not offer food service so plan your tours etc accordingly. The restaurant functions on island time so pack your patience. The listing on Expedia says private pool for the lodge but it is actually shared between 10 lodges. Overall a great stay ! "

"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."

"Good breakfast, great location at the end of downtown strips， room is very spacious and quiet"

"Food was great.. Atmosphere was a vibe. Beautiful island to explore. If you want your own little beach, you can find one. Water taxis to other islands was made easy. Understand that you want to travel light if staying here. Couple.. we had two backpacks and a carry-on. Easy money, it was a nice 8 min walk in a dirt path to the resort. Great experience.. great staff.. Just understand, this isnt a Hilton. This is a beautiful eco lodge type deal."

"Staff was friendly. We got one of the cabins on the water. It was cute, but i kind of wish we would have got one of the landbased rooms."

"AC good "

"Comfortable room"

"Kitchen was sparse. No coffee maker only espresso machine. We enjoyed our stay. Slept great. Papaya restaurant nearby was our favorite. Staff in Merlin restaurant below the hotel was always friendly and greeted us with a wave and smile but never came over to take our order so on three different occasions we got up and went somewhere else. Is there a cultural thing we’re missing here ?"
