We are a young couple from Belgium in the process of growing a guesthouse into an eco resort on the island of Bastimentos. Our guesthouse is located 10 min by boat from bocas town and 20 min walk from the village of old bank. It is the closest solution from the village/town but offering lush greenery, space and a completely quiet environment. We have various little project going on including but not limited to construction, maintenance of the property (13 acres cacao farm) and the setting up a farm to table program in the garden.

The travellers will be accomodated in a private off the grid jungalow with private bathroom and deck. In the case we have a special request for the bungalow to be rented for long term the travellers would then be accomodated in a guestroom (also with private bathroom). We will provide some food for your meals (only the 5days a week that you work), you'll eat what we eat and in case we don't want to cook , we'll leave you some food that you can cook for yourself.
We run a community table restaurant so usually dinner is taken with the guests.
The property has a 200 meters water front and a bordering reef that offers great snorkeling. We also have kayaks at the disposal of clients that travellers would be allowed to use. The property also offers a lush environment with a rich biodiversity that can be observed on site (monkeys, anteaters, sloths, snakes, leaffrogs are all sighted regularly on the property). Depending on season the area also offers great surf and scubadiving. The archipelago also offers a variety of tours and we will be happy to youse the connections we have with tourguides to get the traveller preferential rates.
