An idyllic stay, but with a few minor slip-ups that could have been avoided.
Without that, I highly recommend it, the view is magnificent, but beware of noise pollution.
The breakfast is TOP, especially the banana pancakes.

Relaxing stay
I had a really relaxing stay at the Sea Monkey. I was in awe of the breathtaking views, and spent much of my time relaxing on the outdoor hammock enjoying the weather and location. The staff were quick in responding to requests via whats app and were super helpful! I enjoyed the little town that was accessible by foot and appreciated that this was also just a 5-10 minute boat ride to other activities. I so cannot wait until I get to come back again!

Open Ocean View
The greatest aspect of the place was the fact that your bedroom opens up to the sea and you can wake up with a gorgeous view. Stacey was very helpful and accommodating in many ways. The hike to Wizard Beach was rewarding.

The over water property is on the edge of the Old Bank. It’s easy to walk around and also to catch a water taxi from the dock. The room was well-appointed and bed was comfortable. Water pressure was weak, but not something that was a deal-breaker. The view of the water is amazing, and you feel very secluded. The staff were excellent and helpful. There is some noise from the wildlife and dogs nearby, which is unavoidable.

We loved Isla Bastimentos, the people, and the property but there is quite a bit of litter on the island and the water is not clean enough around the villa to swim in. It seemed that a lot of grey water and dirt went into to the water as it smelled.

The over the water rooms provide amazing views. There is no AC but the doors open the full length of wall to a patio and provide enough breeze along with a windows and a fan. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We loved our stay and would come back.

The view is amazing and the property has potential however there is trash everywhere and often floating in the water. We were disappointed that the hammock was ripped so we could not use it. We let them know but no effort was made. There were multiple water bugs! In the middle of the night I woke up to a water bug on me in the bed sleeping. The music from the town is pumping all night. We ended up paying to visit another beach during the day which was great but requires a water taxi and beach entrance fees. Not a place to get away to relax. The price is not worth it, the quality is about the same as a hostel.
