My husband, three daughters (ages 7y, 7y and 1 yr) and I, after much researching, chose Al Natural Resort as our vacation place from the 16th to the 20th of April past. A little outta the way (a cab ride, after we'd landed in Panama City-Tocumen airport, and another plane ride out of , then a 30 minute water taxi... More

The hotel is a perfect beach escape. The huts offer one of the most amazing sleeping experiences ever. You have a private paradise with an unobstructed view of the Caribbean. The food is simple, but plentiful and good. The location at the Eastern end of Bastimentos offers the perfect blend of access to snorkeling and privacy. And the hosts are... More

Al Natural is fabulous. Get a bungalow there if you can, since they are booked up months in advance. The Belgian manager is a fine cook and a gracious host. He makes you feel welcome and is always looking for ways to make your stay more pleasant. A welcome change from many resorts is that they NEVER "nickel and dime"... More

The hospitality here is wonderful. Chef Vincent goes above and beyond with his wonderful meals! You can stay as busy as you want or just do nothing, it's all great! If you don't mind hut sleeping, I highly recommend it! Everyone helps make your stay pleasurable. The Flora and Fauna are spectacular! More

My husband and I stayed here 6 nights on our vacation. We were pleasantly surprised at our accommodations and loved our bungalow. The food was always great, dinners were fantastic and imaginative and yummy. WE always found something to do, if we wanted to, but just relaxing and reading, swimming, or hiking was fun for us. We met other travelers... More

My husband and I have been looking for the perfect, low-key, beach place and Al Natural is definitely it! It exceeded all our expectations. What an incredibly beautiful place. Michel Natalis has built an environmentally sensitive, small eco-resort that is the most relaxing place to stay. The huts, right on the beach, are spacious and comfortable, the location is wonderful,... More

As we got more and more frustrated with our wedding planning in NY, we both agreed that we should just have out wedding at Al Natural on New Year's Eve since we... More

My new husband I stayed here for four nights on our honeymoon. We were a little apprehensive after reading some negative reviews but we had a wonderful experience. We opted for the all-inclusive deal, which includes 3 meals and 1 excursion every day, tourist tax, unlimited alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and use of snorkel equipment and kayaks. It was great... More
