"A wonderful place where you feel very well with Marcus and his team! spectacularly the jungle room, from terrace and bathroom you look directly into the jungle. In the night you hear the unique sound of the jungle. Kolibris and fault animals have also been seen ♥️
Location also spectacular, at dining you can see directly on the water, great pool!
Eating is great, daily changed dishes, lovely and refined prepared - a pleasure!
On my friend's birthday there was even a dessert and a bottle of wine at home!
Thanks Marcus & Team for this unforgettable stay 🫶🏽🏝️Stefan & Sandra

"Breakfast and staff was very good, friendly and helpful. Room was clean. Diner was fine but spring rolls way too greasy.
The slats of the door were broken and did not close. This allowed everyone to look inside. That was worthless because the room was at the passage that everyone walked past
We had to pay extra for the cocktails even though we were told we'd get two for the price of one, not two of the same. She only mentioned this afterward.
It's a shame you only find out about this when you pay. Happy hour isn't explained on the menu."

"The perfect escape in paradise!
The owner (Robert and his wife Maile) contacted us immediately after booking with helpful instructions, which made us feel very welcome.
Upon arrival into Bocas del Toro, Robert’s helpful boat aide (Rodolfo) picked us up and escorted us to the premises with a beautiful ride on the water.
We were upgraded free of charge and the villa was absolutely incredible - amazing views, spacious, clean and furnished to a high standard.
Robert gave us a guided tour of the grounds and WiFi is strong throughout, then at dinner we were blown away by away with the sublime food in our 3-course meals.
I would highly recommend this stay!"

0 reviewsWelcome to our beach front eco-friendly home in Bocas De Toro!
Hotel near Bastimento
Welcome to a one of a kind surrealist adventure retreat! Our house boasts being the most artistic and best built in all of Bocas. Eco-friendly, of course. Enjoy your very own white sand beach, shade from the palms and spectacular coral reef just outside your door. The house is three stories with incredible views of the Zapatillas islands from your front balconies and natural jungle views from the back ones. The house is breezy with its open layout and beach front location. We have an option to add daily housekeeping and our boat captain will be available to take you on any tours you’d like during your stay!
The space:
Make yourself at home with our fully stocked kitchen and purified drinking water that runs right from every sink faucet! The house is three stories with two bedrooms on the top floor and one on the second along with the kitchen and living area. The bottom floor is a giant covered patio that leads to the beach. There are two bathrooms. Both equipped with outdoor showers so you can enjoy the jungle or beach while you bathe yet still have ample privacy.
Our house is stocked with snorkel gear, 2 two-seater kayaks, yoga mats + some workout weights for your use.
Interaction with guests:
Our care takers, Velimir + Fernando will be your points of contact during your stay. The house is yours to enjoy privately however, they will be available to take you on any tours or get supplies. They also are in charge of making sure all systems in the house are working great! For example, if it is a very rainy day, they may come by to start the generator to make sure you have ample power.
Guests have access to the entire house and property minus the lower level studio which has its own private entrance. Don’t worry - The studio is unoccupied, so no one will interrupt your stay!
The neighborhood:
The Island of Bastimentos has much to offer!
The house is located on a white sand beach near Salt Creek. The creek ends at a native village toward the interior of the island. This belongs to the Nobe tribe. The Nobe are your friendly neighbors and tourism helps their community grow and prosper. They are happy to show you around their community or take you on jungle hikes for a small fee that helps every family in the village.
You can also walk down the beach and run into a couple other great resorts and stop by for a drink! Al Natural is known for their scuba expeditions and we'd be happy to set you up for a dive. Azul Paradise is open for drinks + dining with advanced notice.
Please note: the island is full of life! You will have people and animals roaming the beaches. It’s part of our wonderful community and culture. Stop and say hi, buy the daily catch or a tasty coconut!

This is a remote island. The only way to travel is by boat. There are water taxis available while in Bocas Town or we are happy to arrange travel from our own boats as well. Pick up and drop off from Bocas airport is $160 round trip. We will take you to the grocery to stock up on supplies as well! The boat ride to Bay of the Floating Palms is approximately 30-45 minutes.

Hotel near Bastimento
www.casaserenitybythesea.com
Come experience the mellow vibes of Isla Bastimentos and the boat-centric lifestyle of Bocas del Toro, Panama. If you are chill, at least partially feral, seek adventure in an authentic place, and are up for a challenge to be submersed in a slice of rugged paradise…we’ll see you there.
At Casa Serenity By The Sea we have 3 waterfront Cabins built on a steep hillside. We have a natural staircase within the giant Mango tree roots which goes up the hill to access the cabins.
This is not a place for the weak of heart. There is a lot of hiking and there are no cars. This will not be for anyone with health or ambulatory issues. WATERPROOF HIKING SANDALS AND HEADLAMPS/FLASHLIGHT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Rolling luggage is NOT RECOMMENDED as the walking path you will be on is partly unpaved. This public walking path runs along the seashore and is the main point of access to all the waterfront properties. Sometimes there are sections that can get quite muddy when it rains so be prepared!
Casa Serenity By The Sea: Reef House is a private, rustic waterfront Cabina on the Caribbean Sea. Located on Oceanside in Isla Bastimentos, Bocas del Toro. It has a 320 sq ft studio layout with a Queen size bed.
Our seaside property is bordered by smooth cobblestones and has crystal-clear water out front with a beautiful reef. There is wonderful snorkeling and (depending on swell direction and energy) surfing, but it is not a sandy beach. There are large boulders and coral out there...if you choose to surf here YOU NEED REEF BOOTIES!!! There is a visible, defined walk-out area to help easily enter the sea. Beautiful coral heads and sea life are abundant on the reef that lines Oceanside BUT PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF THE ENVIRONMENT!!! We have created a sandy beach on the property which is perfect for laying out and getting a tan or playing games down by the water! The property is walking distance to boat taxis for other local surf breaks, and we are a 25min hike to the majestic Wizard Beach (which has excellent surf over soft sand and crystal clear water). We are next door neighbors with “The Firefly” which has excellent dining in a tropical setting on the water (but is seasonal, by reservation only, & cash only***). Other local restaurants & bars are right around the point in Old Bank. Chill in the hammock 70’ up on the front deck or in the hammock down by the water while listening to the lapping waves and tropical birds. The water is particularly clear in the “Off-Season” months of May, Sept-November. When the waves are down…the Snorkeling is UP!!! REEF BOOTIES & REEF/LOBSTER GLOVES ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Multiple world class surf breaks on the nearby islands including Carenero Point and Paunch’s are visible from the property. Float your worries away out front while you watch epic sunsets in true paradise-style. The communal seaside hammock is on carabiners and can be removed for full, unobstructed use of the circular Meditation Clearing (we highly recommend doing this during your stay).
We have amazing natural sea breezes. We utilize screened windows as well as magnetic door screens to let the cabins breathe. Powerful fans have been installed inside and on the deck for comfort. We have AC units.
A full kitchen is available for cooking meals with options for electrical or gas powered. Tea kettle and French Press are available for making coffee. Dimmable lighting has been installed inside and out for ambiance. The mattress is 12" cooling gel memory foam accompanied by down pillows and 100% Bamboo linens. There is no closet, but we have a luggage table, floating shelves, coat hooks, and a driftwood branch for hanging clothes. There is a table and bench system for dining. Outside on the deck there are two hammock chairs as well as small dining table and chairs set. The beautiful furniture is made from repurposed Nispero and locally grown/hand-hewn Black Laurel wood.
Go for a surf and get barreled in crystal clear water. Re-align yourself with nature in this very special place. Everything you really need is either right in front of you or a short boat ride away.
We have (4) 2600L rainwater collection tanks. These feed the faucets and showers (we have one indoors and one outdoors) and is 4x filtered for our drinking water. We have a septic tanks and do not flush anything but human waste. Bidets have been installed to reduce paper waste. We recycle.
***Our Caretaker, Yeison, is a Basti local who grew up and lives just minutes from Casa Serenity By The Sea. He can help schedule assistance with local knowledge, boat excursions, and carrying luggage. (Please keep this to a minimum. You should come with the mindset of bringing only what YOU can carry to Basti!) Please tip the locals well for their services!
There may be guests staying at "Tree Frog House" or "Sea Glass House" during your stay. The natural pathway/staircase is communal and you may run into other adventurous souls who have also chosen to spend their time in Paradise. It's completely up to you how much you interact with the neighbors, but you are certainly not obligated. The Meditation Clearing/Outdoor Hammock by the water is also communal.
Also...our property is surrounded by jungle foliage, but we do have neighbors. Please be respectful of their property and privacy. However, you will you will most likely find smiling faces with similar mindsets around you, and you may even meet a new friend!
***Yes we have AC in each casita. They are small units which put out a limited amount of cold air. It is recommended for use only while sleeping and only if you "need" it. DO NOT RUN HOT WATER AND AC SIMULTANEOUSLY AS THIS PUTS TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON THE CIRCUITS. We have screened windows and screened doors which harness wonderful ocean breezes due to our geographical location. We also have powerful industrial strength fans installed inside and outside the casitas for comfort.***
***Wifi can be spotty in our remote location (especially during bad weather). NOT guarantee it will work full-time. If you work from your computer and must have reliable internet during your stay, we recommend bringing your own Starlink system.***
***We have 24hr video surveillance***
***The archipelago is connected to the mainland's power grid. However, the quality of the electricity is not as solid as the US or other first world countries. This can lead to phasing and other issues. Loss of electrical power may occur sometimes. However, it's usually back up in short order if it happens. Be advised that loss of power will affect the electrical water pump for the casita. We do have a generator for the worst case scenarios.***
***This is Old Bank...which is known for its vibrance and love of music. Sometimes they play it quite loudly! We are tucked away on the other side of the hill, but town is pretty close by. Enjoy the rhythms of the Caribbean as they drift across the island!***
Also…going to Bastimentos is like going to another world...This is Old Bank. 500 years of Afro-Caribbean culture and history resides here that is to be respected and admired. This mixes with the indigenous Naso Tjër Di & Ngäbe-Buglé tribes that have been here for thousands of years longer. The local dialect is Guari-Guari (a mix of Creole English Patois, Spanish, and Ngäbere), and no you won't understand it...but they speak Spanish and English as well. This is a small town with kids and free-range chickens and little lazy island pups roaming about. Terracing walking paths have been carved out of the hillside that the community have used for generations...this may put a spin on the ideology of "private property"...but it also connects the people to the island in a in a very grounded way. Be humble & be kind in this place.
***All 3 Casitas can be rented in tandem to hold larger groups.About pets:No pets allowed.About children:Adults only.About customRules:The Surfboards on the ceiling racks are the owner's personal boards and are for decoration only, please don't touch..There is also owner storage above the bathroom and underneath the bed, again please don't touch..About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About events:No events allowed.

***The archipelago is connected to the mainland's power grid. However, the quality of the electricity is not as solid as the US or other first world countries. This can lead to phasing and other issues. Loss of electrical power may occur sometimes. However, it's usually back up in short order if it happens. Be advised that loss of power will affect the electrical water pump for the casita. We do have a generator for the worst case scenarios.***
***This is Old Bank...which is known for its vibrance and love of music. Sometimes they play it quite loudly! We are tucked away on the other side of the hill, but town is pretty close by. Enjoy the rhythms of the Caribbean as they drift across the island!***
Also…going to Bastimentos is like going to another world...This is Old Bank. 500 years of Afro-Caribbean culture and history resides here that is to be respected and admired. This mixes with the indigenous Naso Tjër Di & Ngäbe-Buglé tribes that have been here for thousands of years longer. The local dialect is Guari-Guari (a mix of Creole English Patois, Spanish, and Ngäbere), and no you won't understand it...but they speak Spanish and English as well. This is a small town with kids and free-range chickens and little lazy island pups roaming about. Terracing walking paths have been carved out of the hillside that the community have used for generations...this may put a spin on the ideology of "private property"...but it also connects the people to the island in a in a very grounded way. Be humble & be kind in this place.
