Guest Reviews

• Sylvia (10/5): Rustic lodging with great dining and all you need to relax and enjoy waking up and going to sleep with the sound of the - Beautiful location to unplug and enjoy nature with great food! No complaints.
• Pierre Jacques (10/5): Convivial site magnifique repas excellent - Accueil superbe chaleureux sympathique. Vue des chambres sur la mer et les montagnes trop bien, repas excellents, pdj très bien. Convivialité au top Rien
• Starr (10/5): Swiss family Robinson with gourmet meals - The views, the vibe, the food, the staff! We have traveled with our kids to Greece, Ireland, Vieques, Cabo, Tulum and all over the states. This was our favorite stop. It is unlike anything we have ever done and every minute was magical. Leaving
• Walther (10/5): Yo regresaré - La comida nunca lo olvidaré
• Agnes (10/5): Michel war ein sehr aufmerksamer Gastgeber. Persönlicher Umgang mit Neuankömmlingen war vorbildlich. - Die Lage des Resorts ist traumhaft. Allgemeine gute und sympathische Atmosphäre Sehr gute Küche. Die Organisation von Bocas mit dem Wassertaxi zum Al Natural Resort war sehr gut organisiert. Alles klappte reibungslos. Wlan war schwach Wetter war leider regnerisch und windig über Tage.
• Frank (9/5): - A beautifully situated, family-run resort with excellent cuisine Al Natural Resort enjoys a stunning location right on the water at Playa de Punta Vieja on Isla Bastimentos. The accommodations are intentionally simple, spotlessly clean, and blend harmoniously into the natural surroundings – this is precisely what makes them so charming. The warm, family atmosphere is particularly noteworthy. The entire team is exceptionally friendly, attentive, and helpful. Manager Michel and his staff are dedicated to fulfilling individual requests, organizing excursions, and always ready to offer advice and assistance. The food is a true highlight: Chef Vincent conjures up outstanding, creative dishes of the highest quality every day – fresh, lovingly prepared, and absolutely convincing. If you are looking for peace and quiet, nature, good food, and personalized service, this is the perfect place. A place to unwind and feel completely at ease – we would love to return.
• Anna (10/5): -
• Gael (8/5): Amazing trip in this beautiful island - Location, Michel and Vincent the owners and the amazing food cooked. Could have a bit more activities when it is raining
• Cristina (10/5): Ich habe kürzlich meine Ferien im Al Natural Resort verbracht und ich muss sagen, dass es eine absolute Traumdestination - Die Schnorchelausflüge. Die Mitarbeiter. Die Atmosphäre. Super geeignet für Alleinreisende
• Kai Siers (10/5): A true paradise with stunning wildlife, unique open-air houses, great food, and wonderful staff! - We had an amazing stay at Al Natural Resort! The open-air houses with sea views are unique and unforgettable. We saw wildlife right outside (sloth, rays, sharks, birds) and even bioluminescence at night. The staff are super friendly, Michel is a great host, and the food from Vincent’s team was excellent—even for picky eaters. Truly a paradise, we’d love to return!
• Manuela (10/5): Indimenticabile - armonia con la splendida natura che lo circonda Nulla
• Jordi (10/5): Al Natural, altamente recomendable - A parte de la localización, el entorno y las instalaciones, el buen hacer de Michel y la cocina de muy alta calidad de Vincent. Ismael muy atento, agradecer a Jacob la sesión de snorkel, gran experto. No me gustó tener que marcharme jaaajaaa
• Elodie (9/5): Total detox from the stressful world! - Great staff amazing food and drinks - Vincent, the Chef, achieved tasty and healthy 3 course menu that even my picky kids really enjoyed. Fantastic activities - Jacobo the tour guide is fantastic and bring you to great snorkeling spots The rooms need a bit of TLC: the doors don’t close (even the toilet one!), the bed linens and liquified nets could be refreshed…
• Paola Andrea (8/5): - Un paraiso bien integrado a su entorno natural. Ideal para disfrutar días o semanas de descanso frente a la belleza del mar. La Residencia tiene todas las comodidades, las opciones de excursión están bien organizadas. Michel y su equipo crean un ambiente amable y fraternal. Todo muy bien acompañado por las comidas del chef Vincent.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Cher pour les prestations proposées. - Déçus car pas de plage, confort rudimentaire mais très bon restaurant. Accueil sympathique. Entretien de la chambre et sanitaires insuffisants.
• Greg (10/5): Relaxing, unplugged personal recharge - On the water a little off the beaten track. Dinner was what the fisherman caught that morning
• Celya (10/5): Most unique vacation so far - The food was excellent, and staff was very friendly. Great place for snorkeling, every offered excursion was a unique experience we where able to see sloths, western night monkeys, red dart frogs, 2 baby dolphins along with many adults, reef sharks, jelly fish, sea stars and many fish species along with stingrays snorkeling just out in front of the resort. The insects/bugs where minimum during our visit in September didn't even use our bug spray. This resort could be difficult for those who have an issue with some bugs and wildlife visiting them in there room, however you need to remember this is a nature resort and you are sleeping in a bungalow in the rainforest. With this fact in mind the amount of bugs and such in our room was very minimal and did not bother us at all the rooms where very clean.
• Anna (10/5): One of best holidays I have ever had. Charming owners who made me and my friend feel like home. - I loved everything about the hotel from lovely owners to incredible wildlife around. The seaviews from room were amazing. I loved everything.
• Jessica (9/5): Loved it - Lovely location, great team who really take care to make the experience something special.
• John (9/5): Superb -
• Lisa (10/5): - Disconnect from wifi and stay here! Absolutely a joy if you have any love for nature. The food is exquisite btw, so you won’t be hungry for a minute.Relaxing but also invigorating! A big YES!
• Georginasmith (9/5): Beautiful place!! - Beautiful location, friendly staff, and great food. I liked everything
• Eliza (8/5): Very good - amazing location right on the beach. lovely communal dining table for meals
• Jessica Ann (10/5): - We were lucky enough to spend five wonderful days at Al Natural Resort. Our host Michel was fabulous and provided a welcoming environment to relax and recharge. Our hut had fabulous views, the chef prepared amazing meals, and the staff assisted us in finding the perfect excursions to go on. Nature surrounded us and the snorkling was spot on right outside the resort.
• Henning Nør (10/5): Simply perfect! - We - a family of four adults- enjoyed our week of holiday here very much. We stayed in a hut right at the sea with beautiful views and fantastic snorkeling and relaxing in the sun. Furthermore we enjoyed very nice meals three times a day! Michel, Vincent, Ismail and all the staff were very friendly and helpful.
• Pavel (10/5): Paradise - Amazing location and concept. Staff was perfect! Delicious food (full board). Can imagine it being too natural for someone.
• Corinne (10/5): Un petit paradis au milieu de la nature - Nous avons passé 3 nuits au Al Natural Resort. 3 nuits dans un cadre magnifique. Un vrai paysage de carte postale. Nous avons été très bien accueilli par Michel et son équipe. La restauration est top ... Merci Vincent ! Nous avions un bungalow sur la plage - Vu mer à 180°... Une belle expérience de dormi en plein air au milieu de la nature. Nous avons passé 3 super jours dans la bonne humeur et dans la convivialité. Un seul regret... avoir du repartir ;-)
• JulioH (10/5): - Best trip to a all natural place we ever had. My girlfriend and me spent 4 nights in a bungalow with almost no lights no fan no AA, it was excellent. Service exceptional, food was really amazing, every time we had dinner we become more and more surprises with the delicious food, highly recommend if you want a peaceful place to stay
• Pascal (10/5): - Al natural est l établissement idéal pour un séjour sur l archipel dé bocas del toro Tout d abord une plage une sensation de bout du monde un service et des repas au top des excursions et un centre de plongée excellents Enfin pour les amateurs de fléchettes demander Vincent aussi habile devant ses fourneaux que devant une cible
• Alicja+Steffen (8/5): - Perfekte Erholung in einzigartiger und ruhiger Anlage, bei super Essen und netten Gastgebern (Service). Zusätzlich positiv zu bewerten ist das gemeinsame Abendessen mit internationalem socializing. Die Unterkünfte sind der Beschreibung entsprechend einfach eingerichtet, bieten aber das Nötigste und liegen alle wunderschön sowie am Wald, als auch direkt am Meer. Zu beachten ist, dass es keine Steckdosen in der Unterkunft gibt, der Wifi-Spot abseits liegt und eine Taschenlampe notwendig ist. Absolut empfehlenswert....
• ANNE SOPHIE (10/5): Little paradise - Amazing stay at the resort Al natural! Little piece of paradise, great experience to sleep by the beach and many options to discover things around! The welcome was great, people are friendly and you get to meet people from everywhere.
• Ines (10/5): Estancia de ensueño - El entorno es espectacular, la cabaña correcta aunque cuando hay tormenta parece que te vas a volar por el hecho de que falte una pared. El personal nos ha tratado estupendamente dándonos muestras de cariño en todo momento, y la comida increíble. Recomendaría sin duda este sitio para desconectar totalmente.
• Isabelle (10/5): Vacances de rêve en éco lodge tout confort - Parce que l on est à l extrémité de l île on est coupé de tout et surtout du téléphone. On déconnecte très vite et on se sent en vacances avec un accueil top par Michel et son personnel. Notre bungalow duplex sup est le plus beau de tous au bord de l eau, je vous le conseille. Repas divins et variés grâce à Vincent. Le seul bémol le temps: tempête tropicale avec grosse pluie la nuit et mer agitée malgré la saison sèche. Y aller peut-être idéalement en avril ou septembre, 4 ou 5 nuits selon vos envies pour revenir en pleine forme!
• Lori (10/5): - Wonderful place. Rustic but nice to get away from it all and service was the best! Fantastic food!
• Salvatore (2/5): ORRIBILE ! E' UNA TRUFFA ! - UNA TRUFFA ! ORRIBILE ! UNO SCHIFO ! Evitate questo resort ...se resort si può definire. La struttura è vecchia ed abbandonata, senza un minimo di manutenzione, doccia arrugginita, impianto elettrico volante ed arrugginito, gabinetto vecchio e macchiato, zanzariere rappezzate, ventilatore arrugginito, camera buia illuminata con tre lampadine, guardaroba completamente sprovvisto di appendiabiti (abbiamo dovuto lasciare tutto in valigia), lavandini otturati che non scaricavano, odore di fognatura, illuminazione per arrivare alla camera inesistente (era necessaria la pila ), lenzuola sporche e asciugamani rotti ...quando c'erano. E per quanto riguarda il cibo… poco, ed al risparmio su tutto, con un servizio completamente inesistente , fatto da pochissimo personale non del mestiere ( 1 o 2 persone) arrangiato recuperato dal villaggio locale dell’isola. Insomma se volete essere truffati questo è il posto giusto e costa solo 400 USD a notte !
• Virginie (10/5): Véritable petit paradis !!! - J’ai réservé ce séjour sur l’île de Bastimentos pour 9 nuits, afin de me ressourcer pour un repos maximal je vous conseille vivement cette endroit où le personnel est aux petits soins, l’accueil plus que chaleureux on n’y fait de belles rencontres de toutes nationalités. Vincent le chef de cuisinie est une belle personne qui vous prépare des plats savoureux toujours bien pensé et à l’écoute des intolérances de chacun. j’y suis allé toute seule et j’y retournerai avec toute ma famille car les solutions sont adaptables en bungalow familial, donc je trouve ça génial comme construction typique fabrication indienne à la Robinson Crusoé avec tout le confort. Alors si vous êtes amoureux de la mer du bruit des vagues de la jungle et des sons de tous les animaux réservez bien à l’avance car ce lieu magique est conçu pour un minimum de personnes c’est ça qui est top !!!
