Bambuda Lodge is located in the tropical rain forest in Bocas del Toro. The property features a coral reef off its dock and a swimming pool with an on-site bar and a fun and social atmosphere. WiFi access is available for guests.

The property offers individual beds in dormitories or private rooms. You can enjoy views of the ocean, an outdoor seating area, a safety deposit box and bed linen. Staying at Bambuda Lodge was definitely one of the best parts of our trip. The location is great, you have a really nice view from the terrace and we loved our canopy room. Even if Bambuda Lodge is a little bit more remote, you can easily get a water taxi or book one of the tours to explore other places. The staff was always very friendly and helpful. The food was good, especially the dinner was very delicious!
