Bastimentos – Orlofshús/-íbúðir

Petr Tékkland

We had a room in a house on a hill in the forest overlooking the sea. Lying in the hammock was really relaxing. Birds singing and the murmur of the sea. The owners from Holland are very friendly. Carmen is an excellent cook, at the same time a very nice and helpful hostess. She will be happy to advise you and help organize trips and transfers by water taxi. The joint dinners were a great experience both gastronomic and social.

Angie is the most amazing host! The jungle house she build is awesome and we've had a wonderful stay. Angie is well connected and can help arrange tours and transport. She has some great suggestions on where to eat and things to do on and off the island.  The community living on Bastimentos is lovely and the town feels like something out of an adventure novel. The house is situated right on the jungle trail to Wizard Beach, where you have a chance to spot birds and wildlife. Mere 50m from the house you have Mami's Restaurant, who is somewhat of a mother figure in town and is a great cook! There is also a small nature reserve an adventurous 20min walk from the house which is a must see on Bastimentos. Although it first looks like a garden, the reserve is a gateway to the jungle on the island. Within an hour or so we've seen sloth, capuchin monkeys, cayman and redfrogs. Also Mami's super sweet dog aptly named Princess might show up at the house and demand cuddles. She is somewhat of a local celebrity and you'd best abide.

I met the manager of the accomodation, the night before I stayed there and was informed that the room I had reserved had been double booked. The manager told me that she would try to correct this problem and text me via WhatsApp regarding my status. At around midnight, she texted me that I could stay at the place. However, the unit where I could stay on the first night was smaller and different from the one I originally selected. I would be able to move to the selected unit on my second day. She did not offer to discount my price for the 1 night downgrade. Both units were clean and comfortable, but the unit I initially selected was much larger with a separate room for the kitchen and spare bed.

A whole house to ourselves. Super spacious, fantastic views, great aircon, more facilities than you'll ever use. The best location amongst local families and right on the trail to wizard Beach and restaurant very close by. Great security

Property is beautiful. Room was as pictured.- spacious, clean, and comfortable. AC worked well and there was always hot water and good water pressure in the shower which isn't always the case on an island. Staff superceded in terms of hospitality. Location was great.- far enough for peace but close to restaurants and tour opportunities. The property host (Karen) is exceptionally helpful. Welcome letter sent ahead of time set me up for success but she was alwauys available to help with minor hiccups. Plan to return and recommend without question.

The property is like an oasis in the middle of the island. The cabin is amazing. Hosts are friendly and welcoming.
