Punta Caracol Acqua Lodge - Bocas del Toro

Overwater eco-cabins with solar power on Panama's Bocas del Toro Archipelago

Accommodation

Punta Caracol Acqua Lodge offers wooden cabins built on stilts directly over the water, each with a private balcony and a hammock. The cabins have palm roofs and four-poster beds, with bathrooms powered by solar panels. This overwater accommodation in Bocas del Toro provides direct access to the sea from the balcony platform.

Dining

The hotel's restaurant sits in a separate cabin with a large terrace and a thatched roof, serving Caribbean and international dishes. A complete breakfast is offered every morning, and candlelight dinner is served on the restaurant terrace each night. Guests can also order special diet menus and wine or champagne from the bar.

Punta Caracol Acqua Lodge organizes daily boat trips to Starfish Beach and dolphin-watching excursions. Guests can snorkel or kayak using the free gear provided by the property, and explore the mangroves by canoe. The lodge also arranges rainforest hikes and visits to native Indian villages.
