Beach Resorts in Bastimentos

"We had jungle villa 3 which had been renovated and updated recently. Also came with a plunge pool. It’s a beautiful property and you get to experience all noises of the jungle. We saw red frogs (3) and a sloth and monkeys. We stayed 2 nights and felt good about that as the restaurants were limited and we could count ok in our villa but didn’t feel like it. I would definitely recommend for those looking to get away from crowds and experience nature in a very comfortable setting."

"Food was great.. Atmosphere was a vibe. Beautiful island to explore. If you want your own little beach, you can find one. Water taxis to other islands was made easy. Understand that you want to travel light if staying here. Couple.. we had two backpacks and a carry-on. Easy money, it was a nice 8 min walk in a dirt path to the resort. Great experience.. great staff.. Just understand, this isnt a Hilton. This is a beautiful eco lodge type deal."

"Staff was friendly. We got one of the cabins on the water. It was cute, but i kind of wish we would have got one of the landbased rooms."

"Kitchen was sparse. No coffee maker only espresso machine. We enjoyed our stay. Slept great. Papaya restaurant nearby was our favorite. Staff in Merlin restaurant below the hotel was always friendly and greeted us with a wave and smile but never came over to take our order so on three different occasions we got up and went somewhere else. Is there a cultural thing we’re missing here ?"

"The resort is located where jungle meets ocean. It’s more like glamping on steroid. If you are a nature lover like me, you will love every bit of it. My cabin/hut is right at the water line facing the ocean and the back is the jungle and the whole place runs by solar. I got to know the owners of the resort Michel and Vincent, from Belgium. They are 2 kind individuals with the biggest hearts I ever met. Michel would host us every meals and Vincent is the main chef would cook us all the gourmet meals that you could imagine. The resort has hired all their staff from the village near by, and they are all kind and friendly. I wanted to drink coconut water and one of the staff just went to pick a coconut right from the tree and served it to me, fresh organic coconut water. The room is very basic but clean and spacious . The food was unbelievable delicious. Every meal was prepared with freshly caught seafood and local ingredients. The head chef is from Belgium, so all of his dishes were global cuisine. I never had a bad meal during my stay. It was like going to high end restaurants every day. I recommend to try the home made hot sauce that Vincent makes. You can walk around the resort and enjoy the beaches there or there are lots of activities for you to do everyday like tour to Dolphin bay, red frog trail, sloth watching, snorkeling, kayak and SUB , Salt Creek village, turtle hatching.
