Summary: We stayed four nights over New Years at Bay of the Floating Palms. The five star reviews set up very high expectations (and maybe some of them are from awhile ago) so I want to leave a more sober review.On the plus side: the house is beautiful, beds clean and very comfortable, the family of caretakers is wonderful, attentive and caring. Audrey, the owner, is responsive by WA text. When we complained about the condition of the property she did her best to accommodate our concerns. The house is located on a small beach on a remote part of Bastimos Island. There are 3 small eco-resorts a short distance walk from the house.

Summary: Often times the photos you see are better than the rental is in person. Not the case here! No photo could capture how amazing this house is and its surrounding location. We spent a week and had the most relaxing time filled with daily adventures. The house itself and the art work it contains are amazing. The surrounding jungle, beach and water are incredible. The family the owner has on site to assist with your needs are amazing. We felt extremely well looked after and were able to arrange for whatever we wanted. We were there during the rainy season, which it did, but only for a few hours each day. We are also not party people, so we really enjoyed the quiet nighttime jungle sounds and the crashing of the waves to reboot from our busy lives back home in the city.

Summary: A group of four, we stayed at Bay of the Floating Palms for 8 days. The house is amazing. No other way to describe it. Open and breezy (which kept the bugs down. We had no problems with bugs and didn't even need the nets). We lived and slept with the doors and windows open. Just amazing. The kitchen was pretty well stocked, but could use a few more basics like olive oil and salt and pepper, a couple of serving bowls, napkins and a corkscrew. And more wine glasses would be good as there are only two. Since the house is so remote there's not an opportunity to run out and grab supplies that were forgotten. But overall the kitchen was big and easy to use and had a gorgeous view. Lots of quality cookware. And, most importantly, a blender for cocktails. There are fins, masks and snorkels in a storage area on the ground floor. Beach chairs would be a great addition as we couldn't find any. If you're into snorkeling, the best places to go are Zapitillas island and Coral Caye. We also loved snorkeling in Dolphin Bay around the mangroves. There are probably other spots as well. The snorkeling in front of the house is kinda far out and ok, but not great. The beach in front of the house has really calm water for just floating and relaxing. I can’t speak highly enough about Velemir and Fernando, the caretakers. They really made this trip for us. Friendly, responsive, helpful and kind. They helped us find boat captains to take us to special snorkeling spots and were on hand to answer any questions or sort out any problems. A wealth of knowledge. We did one trip with Azul Paradise to the chocolate farm, Up in the Hills. One of our favorite excursions. Azul Paradise, right next door, is honestly kinda sketchy. Hit or miss. In the end we just avoided them and arranged trips through Fernando and his friends. Other than excursions we spent our time exploring the jungle paths, walking up and down the beach, trying to spot caiman and hummingbirds from the hammocks on the back porch and floating in the gorgeous blue waters. The dock was our go to place to watch sunsets and look for luminescence after dark. We loved the chocolate farm and snorkeling as mentioned above. Paddling through the mangroves to the Salt Creek community was nice too and not very far by kayak or by foot. A quiet village. Not much there except house, but charming. They have a few crafts to buy.
