Description
Punta Caracol was born out of the idea of creating an Acqua-Lodge in a totally virgin and natural environment. The idea is to offer guests a pure and intimate experience with nature in a place of singular beauty where they can relax in comfort.
Built over the Caribbean Sea, along a mile-long coral reefed coast, Punta Caracol is constructed using the traditional methods of the Archipelago: each handsomely crafted cabin is built upon stilts which support a wooden frame over the water and covered by a palm leaf roof - an unforgettable habitat congruent with the native communities of the region.
Natural building materials offered by the rich nature of the region were used - different kinds of native woods and plants, clays, leafs, bamboo, wild cane and others. The result is a warm close-to-nature ambience that takes one back to the area's origins.
Enjoy one nine exclusive cabins set over the crystal clear waters of the Bocas del Toro archipelago. From your private terrace you will be able to observe impressive sunsets interrupted only by playful dolphins.
Feel immersed in the sounds of nature while laying down on a colonial style bed at the second level master bedroom, or just relax with a hot water shower in your private bathroom after taking an inspiring day tour.
Learn how to coexist with the most advanced systems of renewable energy - solar panels that provide electricity to the cabins or the bio-digestor that debugs waste water avoiding any type of pollution of this pristine environment.
At night, the restaurant's impressive terrace and thatched roof creates the perfect surrounding for a candlelight dinner. Enjoy a variety of Caribbean, local and international dishes.
At Punta Caracol Acqua-Lodge the ancient crafty construction techniques are combined with the most advanced alternative energy creation systems such as the solar panels, which are present at the restaurant and in all suites, and gas cooling in all refrigerators and freezers, as well as the coupling of a sewage purifying system using state-of-the-art aerobic systems for micro-processing and sewage treatment.
