Summary of traveller reviews

Hostal Cay in Bastimentos offers a wonderfully clean and friendly stay, with staff who go above and beyond. Enjoy the unique over-the-water location and easy access to water taxis. Some guests note morning noise due to limited soundproofing.

The staff are wonderful! Really friendly, lovely vibes. It’s so nice here to have the dock and get picked up easily by the water taxis. It’s quite simple but still nice. Only thing I’d say is that it’s really loud in the morning as there is little soundproofing, even with earplugs. I’d recommend staying here in bastimentos for sure.

Absolutely delightful hostel over the water on stilts. Great to hear water lapping at night. Close to the ferry point. Not an elaborate place, but very functional. A small kitchen with the basics. Internet at the back of the hostel can be weak. A half hour hike along a good jungle path to get to fabulous Wizard Beach. A few feet away from a very respectable and affordable restaurant. Staff are very attentive, and quickly address issues.
