Carmen's Place on Isla Bastimentos

Carmen’s Place is a family-style B&B run by Carmen and Marcel, a couple from the Netherlands who have called Isla Bastimentos home since 2016. Our B&B is located on the Caribbean Sea, just across the water from the Afro-Caribbean town of Old Bank on Isla Bastimentos in Bocas del Toro, Panama. We feature 5 rooms, daily breakfast, a dinner option on site, kayaks, and we are solar-powered and catch our water from the rain! Marcel is also a great fisherman and is ready to take you fishing in Bocas del Toro! Come and see what the Isla Bastimentos way of life is all about!
