Punta Caracol
BOCAS DEL TORO
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 us back to our origins.
Enjoy one our five 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 our pristine environment.
At night, our 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 our 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.

The Restaurant
In our restaurant located upon the blue and turquoise waters of the Carribean, you can taste a variety of traditional and mediterranean dishes finely prepared in our kitchen.
From a silk snapper in virgin olive oil and rock salt with rice and guandu made with coconut milk, to a lobster stew or a seafood paella, the philosophy that inspires our table is founded on three concepts that are intimately linked: fresh cuisine, light cuisine and a healthy cuisine.
The unequaled freshness of our seafood and fish, which are selected and chosen by our chef from the fishermen and lobster divers that stop at Punta Caracol to sell the day´s catch, guarantees an end product of the best quality for your table.
Likewise, the vegetables and fruits come directly from our organic garden and the High Lands of Chiriqui, known for their organic high cultures in volcanic earth.
Our variety of desserts, where you can find passion fruit cream, lemon souffle, our famous tropical fruit skewers and homemade brownies among others, will delight the lovers of good cuisine.
In our wine cellars you can find some of the most known wines that come from the Ribera del Duero and the Rioja, in addition to selected Chilean wine vintages.
