Colón Island: eco lodge

Welcome to the paradise! A small and calm resort at the far end of Bastimentos, perfectly suited to relax, disconnect (no WiFi or mobile network) and enjoy Carribean flair and nature. But beware: you'll stay in nature (open-air bungalow) and as it's really small will spend significant amount of time with the other guests, incl. the delicious meals around the large dining table. As your welcoming host Michele already states this in the description and his communication after booking, we weren't surprised - and loved it! If you don't like nature, are addicted to your social media, or don't want to socialize with other guests - better don't come ;) Seeing the price for few nights, we gasped at first. But let alone the included tasty meals and great service is worth an significant amount. Taking into account how costly it must have been to build, maintain and supply this small paradise at the remote location, it's absolutley worth it!

O Brian é muito mais que um Superhost, demonstra um cuidado e uma atenção total para com os seus convidados! O espaço é maravilhoso, um verdadeiro paraíso, o quarto é espaçoso, a zona das refeições é muito acolhedora e os arredores demonstram um cuidado e dedicação extrema! Comemos sempre muito, muito bem e só temos pena de não podermos dar uma classificação superior e diferenciadora. Já ficámos em muitos Airbnb mas este foi de longe o melhor e aquele em que o anfitrião nos acolheu como um verdadeiro amigo! Conhecemos outras pessoas muito simpáticas no local, porque o espaço promove esse convívio entre os vários hóspedes! O resto da equipa também é muito simpática, sempre com um sorriso! Um grande abraço Brian, desejamos tudo de bom para vocês!

This place is very special. Brian and Amy made us feel at home right away. The location of the accommodation ist very beautiful surrounded by jungle and right by the water. We saw many dolphins in the bay and had a great snorkeling trip and hiked through the jungle. The food is absolutely incredible. The place was always clean and the hosts try their best to make your stay a once in a lifetime experience. This was the best place I ever stayed at and would recommend it to everyone. Thank you for everything, Brian and Amy.

Vorweg muss ich sagen: es war traumhaft! Von Anfang bis zum Ende war es ein perfektes Erlebnis. Daniel und Brian sind wundervolle Menschen und Gastgeber. Was die beiden auf Bastimentos aufgebaut haben ist ein karibischer Traum. Die Unterkunft ist so liebevoll gestaltet wir haben uns vom ersten Moment an willkommen gefühlt. Daniel ist ein grandioser Koch, der auf Wunsch, an 5 Tagen in der Woche, für Gäste, ein 3 Gänge Menü zaubert, Bryan verwöhnte uns mit leckeren Cocktails. Das täglich wechselnde Frühstück (3 bis 4 Gerichte zur Auswahl inkl. vegetarisch) kann besser nicht sein. Das ganze Team um die beiden war herzlich und liebevoll bemüht all unsere Fragen und Wünsche zu beantworten. Brian hat uns bei einem leckeren Cocktail so viel zur Entstehung der Lodge erzählt. Es ist wie im Paradies. Rundherum nur eine fantastische Flora und Fauna. Wenn wir wieder nach Panama kommen, ist die Lodge von Daniel und Brian unsere erste Wahl. Danke für die tolle Zeit bei und mit Euch! Magda + Björn

Adorei a minha estadia no maronda! A Gabi foi querida, simpática, amigável, esteve sempre disponível para nos ajudar e aconselhar, a cozinha estava sempre disponível e limpa, a praia em frente era maravilhosa, de manhã íamos dar frutas aos cavalos, os cães são muito amigáveis, só coisas boas! A propriedade é bastante sossegada e afastada mas é possível ter qualquer coisa da cidade se falarmos com a Gabi ela arranja forma de recebermos o que precisarmos assim como podemos sempre chamar um táxi. Na praia em frente, de manhã, quando a maré estava mais baixa, fazia uma espécie de lago que era ótimo para os miúdos. Gostei mesmo muito!

hermoso y tranquilo lugar, playa desertica y paradisiaca, olas grandes y salvajes, conexion pura con la naturaleza, lindo beach club enfrente mismo para almorzar y tomar unos tragos, un poco alejado del centro pero si queres una buena desconexion este es el lugar! la atencion de Kristian excelente

La estadía en MarOnda fue muy buena. Estás rodeado de naturaleza y tenés la Playa Bluff en frente, con el parador ahí mismo. Realmente disfrutamos mucho nuestros días ahí. Algo a considerar, es que queda bastante alejado de Bocas Town. Son unos 40min en taxi y sale 20/25usd. Para los que quieren estar en la playa y rodeados de naturaleza no es un problema, pero si pretendés hacer excursiones, te conviene estar mas cerca del centro.

The location is perfect. Red frog beach is amazing. Sometimes it took a while for the host to react on our message before arriving. The staff at the location was very friendly and helpfull. They took good care of us. We just didn’t wanna leave.
