Guest Information Guide

---

Welcome to Macaw Bungalows, your boutique jungle retreat on Isla Carenero.

You’re surrounded by palms, sea breeze, and a symphony of parrots — we want you to feel completely at home while soaking in every bit of it.

This guide covers the essentials for a smooth, comfortable stay — plus a few insider tips from the people who know and love this island best.

What started as a creative dream has become a canopy-level escape inspired by nature, art, and adventure. Each treehouse and bungalow blends comfort with craftsmanship — hand-poured concrete, copper fixtures, and the soft rustle of the rainforest right outside your door.

We believe in barefoot luxury: everything you need, nothing that breaks the calm.

Our little café on the deck is the heart of the property — part gathering spot, part tropical indulgence.

• Morning: Smoothie bowls, espresso, fresh fruit, and breakfast baskets.
• Daytime: Ice cream, crepes, and good conversation.
• Water Refills: Bring your reusable bottles to the counter anytime for a refill of our rain-to-RO filtered water — clean, cold, and plastic-free. 🌎💦

Hours may vary with the season; check the chalkboard or ask Ely for the daily schedule.

• Please keep your key in the lockbox whenever you’re off exploring.
• A wall safe is provided behind the bathroom sliding door for valuables.
• Remember: the decks, railings, and stairs can be slippery after rain — hold onto handrails and take your time.

Signal strength varies with the trees and weather — consider it part of the island experience. (We like to think it encourages hammock time.)

We’re a strictly non-smoking property.

No cigarettes, cigars, vaping, or marijuana are permitted inside any unit or anywhere on the grounds. Guests who wish to smoke may do so on the beach outside the property fence.

Thank you for helping us keep the air fresh and the jungle happy.

All our water is collected from the rain and purified on-site through a reverse-osmosis system. Please help us conserve it — short showers, turn off taps, and reuse towels if possible.

Electricity is solar-supplemented; switching off fans, lights, and A/C when you’re out makes a big difference.

• Check-in: 3 PM – 7 PM
• Check-out: 11 AM

If you need flexibility, just ask — we’ll accommodate when possible. Luggage storage is available if your boat or flight leaves later in the day.

• Quiet hours begin at 10 PM. Enjoy the sounds of the jungle instead of your playlist.
• No outside guests without prior approval.
• Please don’t take towels off property (they prefer to stay home).
• No open flames or outdoor cooking.
• Respect your neighbors — both human and feathered.
• 
  

The bridges and decks are part of the adventure. Use care when surfaces are wet, always hold the railings, and wear non-slip shoes if possible.

• Local dining: check out El Pirata or Buena Vista in Bocas Town, or walk to Pukalani Hostel for sundown drinks.

Please:

• Return keys to the lockbox.
• Double-check drawers, safes, and charging cables.
• Leave the jungle just as you found it — peaceful and alive.

We’re thrilled to share this place with you. Whether you’re here to rest, reconnect, or rediscover your wild side, we hope you leave lighter, calmer, and a little more inspired.
