The space *The neighboring bar noted in reviews closed December 2022* The village of Old Bank, on Isla Bastimentos, is a special place with no cars, a few shops and restaurants, and a single cement promenade known as Main Street. Here you will find fewer tourists and a more authentic way of life. In Old Bank, you are truly in the Caribbean. This is one of a few places in Panama where a unique language called Guari-Guari is spoken, the native language of the Afro-Panamanians who settled here generations ago.

Other things to note We built this home to share this beautiful island with friends, family & you. -Our vacation home is located in the center of the village of Old Bank, loved for the warm hospitality of the locals and its authenticity -Conservation of water and electricity in all ways is a necessity of island life -Bocas del Toro is a rather remote province in the developing world, and the region’s infrastructure reflects that -The appearance of the sea surrounding the house depends on the tides and the weather, there is nothing we can do, sadly, if the sea is not calm enough (or clear enough) for swimming
