Amazing place, Clarisse is an brilliant host, and what a cook! The only slight thing i would have liked is an addition of a window/ventilation on the back/east side of the cabin, just to let some breeze flow through, also a stronger fan would be nice. No real complaints though.

Unfortunately, for us, we did not know in advance that there was a problem with their hot water system and we had but only cold showers. Plus, the pool which we imagined we would swim and hang around in all day, as the pictures showed on the site, ...was also enduring issues during our stay and it was only filled 1/2 way. :( Hopefully they get these 2 issues cleared up shortly.

We loved Clarisse, the host of Nathylodge and her family~ without their hospitality and warmth, quite frankly we would have been very disappointed with our choice of accommodations ...As Isla San Cristobal is a beautiful island, there are no roads, and everywhere you go has to be arranged with a boat. There are kayaks, and a dock to swim off of. The views from our little house, which sat high up, were amazing, during the day, and at night the stars. The howler monkeys made their voices clear, and we did have the opportunity to view a few, along with a sloth to watch as it made its way down from the tree next to us. From the moment we arrived to the last day, Clarisse only wanted to make sure we had what we needed, to the best she could offer. She is also an amazing cook, which led to some delicious dinners & desserts!! She arranged for all of transfers plus our tours with Miguel, the guide, who with we explored a lot of the other islands, near & far! New friends, we hope our paths cross again!!

Everything was fine

The owners were extremely kind and helpful. The architecture and facilities are amazing and comfy for such a place on an island.

My stay was amazing - great hosts, delicious food, super peaceful on the island. You can go paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming, snorkelling - all from the house. Each house has a small gardenarea around it which is covered so it feels very private. There is also a pool ! You can't leave the place to go to any shops because the only way out is by boat, which feels very luxurious !

If you’re looking for a quiet and relaxed jungle experience, that’s your place: stunning views, wildlife, tranquility, comfortable bungalows, free kayaks, the best homemade food we had in all Bocas. Clarisse will take care of everything to make your stay worry-free

Beautiful place to stay. The nature is unique. Bungalows are clean, spacious with all you need. Comfortable bed and amazing view. Nice house reef. Tasty food.

It was perfect for us. Travelers who want more hustle and bustle, to be near shops and businesses, expect all the modern comforts of life, or mind living in the forest, may want to consider a different place.

Nathylodge is a unique find. We (family of four) stayed at Nathylodge for five nights to have a quiet time in nature. We could have not found a better place for us. It is unusual to find a place that is so truly genuine and personal. Clarisse and her extended family were perfectly attentive to anything we needed. The rooms were wonderful, and the food was excellent. We loved feeling re-connected to nature - to the sounds of the water and animals, the plants, and life in Bocas. At the same time, if we needed to be connected, the internet worked well. We enjoyed snorkeling, kayaking and paddleboarding in the bay, lazing in the swimming pool, having long meals, and watching the gorgeous sunsets in the evening and the sturgeon moon at night.

Great place to rest and unwind! Peaceful, tranquil!

It takes a bit longer to get there from bocas town, for us it was totally fine. Just take note that the boat ride will be more expensive in comparison to the islands nearby

Nathy and her family are super friendly and try to fulfill every wish! Her dishes are sooo good. The entire property in the middle of nowhere and the tranquility are more than relaxing. Totally recommend to come here.

Unfortunately there is no lock in the room, you can close it only inside, but then don’t forget to open it next day, as you will not be able to open it again from outside. No warm shower, the water is a little bit too fresh for me.

We stayed in Nathylodge for 3 nights and we were impressed by the warm welcoming of the owner Clarisse. She is amazing, kind and ready to help person! We felt like we came to friends. She also cooks incredibly tasty!! The territory of the hotel is very clean and tidy, a lot of green trees, flowers, grass. They take care of it very good. Also there is the private coral reef with amazing, beautiful corals. Lodges are good enough for 2 people, made in the province style, with big windows, big bed, hammock and two chairs to sit outside. Very clean, everything is new.

- Beautiful and clean accommodation - amazing view - absolutely delicious food - hospitable host family - you can use kajaks and SUPs for free - we were really lucky with the wildlife (2 sloths in the tree next to our house, dolphins next to our kajak, beautiful reaf with colorful fishes next to the dock)

nothing. we wanted nature and we had it :)

peaceful, surrounded by nature (you can even hear the monkeys), spacious and bright rooms with great finishes. the property is very big and very well maintained with beautiful trees and flowers. the owner is lovely and always happy to help. she cooks great meals herself in a very family/friendly environment. this is the perfect gate away if you want some tranquility after Bocas town or busier islands. super easy to also do usual tours such as sea stars beach, dolphin bay etc we did an excursion at an organic chocolate farm which was amazing and that I highly recommend. her staff/family is as nice and helpful as the owner. If you still do want to party in bocas this also possible as you are only a 20min boat ride from bocas town. i highly recommend this charming lovely place!

This place is heaven. A little paradise, the view from the room spectacular. I was lucky enough to see dolphins in the bay and a sloth in the garden. The owners are very sweet and try everything to make the stay beautiful. I would come back anytime!

There is some birds inside the roof and was making some noise at night l, in the morning the birds left some waste on the floor. But I guess this is part of very natural scene.the location is a big far from the main town and some of the water taxi refuse to take us. And it is not cheap for the water taxi trip. But the place is really worthy for travelling to.

The host is super nice , it is like living at home . She took care of everything. The view of the room is freaking amazing. I did not expecting something so amazing in this trip ! Btw the host cook amazing as well . That area since there is no much business , u can see many coral just by the dock , we paddle out and the view is so relaxing..

it’s not possible to leave the property for a long walk cause there is only jungle around and the only way to exit is by boat; the door of our bathroom in the bungalow needs some grease and shampoo would be welcome in the shower. the only food option is to have three meals per day at the restaurant which can increase the cost of the accommodation. it’s very expensive to get there by boat from any location (US50$) per ride.

Nathy was very welcoming and friendly. she welcomed us upon our belated arrival in the property. Accommodation takes place in individual bungalows with private terrace and views to the sea and jungle. the food Nathy prepares is delicious and the restaurant area is comfortable and cozy; it was very quiet - perfect to relax a couple nights - and the entire property is like a botanical garden. Beds and pillows are amazing and spending time in the terrace hammock is a luxury! thank you Nathy ❤️
