Punta Caracol Acqua Lodge
Colon Island, Bocas del Toro
Panama

 

Punta Caracol was created in a totally natural environment, offering guests a pure and intimate experience with nature in a place of singular beauty. Built along a mile-long coral reefed coast, it was constructed using the traditional methods of the Archipelago: each of the nine handsomely crafted cabins is built upon stilts over the crystal-clear waters of the Bocas del Toro archipelago, and covered by a palm leaf roof - an unforgettable habitat congruent with the native communities of the region. From your private terrace you will be able to observe impressive sunsets interrupted only by playful dolphins. The restaurant's impressive terrace creates the perfect surrounding for a candlelight dinner.  

Please note: Some hotel amenities listed above may have an additional fee associated with them.

All the Punta Caracol suites are joined to the main dock by independent fingers, except for numbers 3 and 4, which share a finger, due to live corals that got in the way which we decided to protect (each anchoring post in Punta Caracol acqua-lodge was placed respecting the natural contour of the coral reefs around it, after a meticulous two-year environmental impact study).
