We loveed the shared dinner and night activities. We gathered to have a shared meal and got to know some of the other guests at Bambuda. The Staff is very friendly and helpfull, we loved to stay here and would love even more to have stayed for longer but we had other plans. Next time we visit Bocas, we would stay here to get to know the place more. We also loved the wate slide to the beach that they have! PD. This is a place to stay if you are looking to connect with nature, people and make community. Not an ideal location to visit Town frecuently, the boat ride to anf from the main island costs $5 per ride.
