Positive: the food here is fantastic. Healthy and tasty. Carmen goes out of her way to keep your dietary needs in mind. Marcel is ever present to answer any questions and for dinner time convo. This isn't really a hotel but more like a sustainably focused homestay.
Negative: I didn't read the website well enough and didn't realize that there was no air conditioning. The first night was rough because I was stewing over my mistake, but when I realized that this is actually an ecologically concious property, I realized that this property was a diamond in the rough. Sometimes you don't get what you want, but you get what you need, and this property comes with subtle life lessons about conservation.
Summary: Ecotourism at it's best

Positive: Staying at Carmen’s was an absolute highlight of our trip! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed like old friends into her home. The place is beautifully maintained, with comfortable rooms, a lovely dock, and a lush garden perfect for relaxing. The facilities are excellent, but what truly makes this place special is the warmth and hospitality of Carmen and Marcel. They went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed, always with such kindness and care. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and abundant—a perfect way to start the day. And in the evening, Carmen’s home-cooked dinners were a treat—she prepares the freshest fish of the day, and all the guests gather around the table to share a meal and great conversation. Carmen was incredibly helpful with everything, from tending to a blister on my foot to organizing day trips. This stay was more than just accommodation—it was a truly memorable experience. I can’t recommend it enough!

Positive: Everything basically. Carmen, the host, runs more of a community than a bed and breakfast. Very cosy very nice details and she takes a lot of care of her guests! And she is a great cook. Staying for dinner is recommended.
Negative: A very luxurious thing would have been an AC but only to fall asleep. Still with the fan it was completely ok.

Positive: I felt right at home at Carmen's Place. I was treated like a member of the family. From the moment i arrived until the last moment that I left, I felt at home and welcome. Form the generous breakfast in the morning to a trip to another island for good food and live music in the evening, I was treated like family. Some hosts welcome you and then leave you alone. Here, I could be alone if I liked or be engaged with my host. As a solo traveler, I welcomed the opportunity. Carmen and Marcel have a marvelous property, somewhat secluded, while yet folded into the local community, a real experience.
Summary: Lovely people, lovely food, a most enjoyable stay.

The organized tour was exceptional and Sunday night at the Bibi`s was an authentic experience.

Positive: Carmen’s place is between luscious jungle and a gentle bay by the sea. It has a dock where in you can sit and relax or even have breakfast. All the food is made by Carmen, and she accommodated my dietary restrictions perfectly. I really enjoyed falling asleep listening to the jungle sounds, and waking up to sun rising. Both Carmen and Marcel were excellent hosts, helping me out with anything I needed. I really enjoyed the stay especially the evening dinners with all the guests. Afterwards we would sit, drink and chat for hours.
Summary: Hospitable, welcoming and comfortable stay on Isla Bastimentos
