Come and stay at Coco Hill!
Just up the hill from the main town of Old Bank, on the way to Wizard Beach, you'll find yourself at home, a piece of paradise.
We have 4 Jungalows (I know, Jungle Bungalows: 3 private on site and a small fully furnished house.
There is a vegetarian restaurant and a bar (open for dinners by reservation) and a breakfast self serve area, packed with fresh fruits, homemade breads, jams and preserves, coffee, teas, freshly prepared coconut milk & vegan butters.
The space
The Lila room is private and wonderfully comfortable. A large queen bed,along with a daybed that can be used to lounge around on reading or as a single bed for a third person. A perfectly placed window that opens into passionfruit vines - this is the best place to read. A beautiful view of the Caribbean Sea from both beds. Wifi is available in the restaurant. Depending on how many banana trees are in the way, it can also be received in the jungalows, but hey this is the jungle!
The room itself is only small (I think of it as cosy, I actually built it for myself) while it doesn't have it's own verandah, it does have that great window and of course you can use any of our common ranch areas with hammocks if you need that extra space.
Note: all of the water we use is from the rain. During the dry season we sometimes run out of water, and ask that everybody keeps their showers quick. This is the price we pay for living in the jungle!
Guest access
The gardens are all organic and are filled to over-flowing with tropical fruits, vegetables, nuts & herbs. The many birds that inhabit it, along with the famous 3 toed sloths, make it peaceful and serene. Guests have access to our hang out area, the gardens, and our Vegan/Vegetarian restaurant and Bar. Wizard Beach is only a 30 min walk away and Up In The Hill Chocolate Farm only 7 min.
Coco Hill is LGBTQI friendly.
Other things to note
Breakfast Bar....at Coco Hill our newest structure is our outdoor kitchen and ranch area. Now guests have the opportunity to sleep in, never missing breakfast. The self serve area is stocked with fresh fruits, homemade breads, jams and preserves. Strong, aromatic Panamanian coffee and an assortment of teas, along with freshly prepared coconut milk & vegan butters.There are extra breakfast options that can be added for a small charge.
The Vegan Restaurant on site is open nightly for dinners but only through reservation.
We do not have credit card facilities.
This isn't a seperate structure. It has been built underneath the restaurant area where we have breakfast and dinners. So it will be noisier than the other bungalows, but this is not a party place
Important: Coco hill guesthouse is ON A HILL. Immersed in the romantic jungle, you will be surrounded by nature's beauty and soundtrack. From old Bank, be prepared to walk uphill for about 7 minutes. We are just passed the school and church. Everyone knows us and you dont need to hesitate if you want to confirm your direction. If you have heavy luggage and would prefer assistance, simply higher a helping hand by the dock for just a few dollars. If there was recent rain, which is expected in our tropical environment, the hill will likely be muddy. In addition, since we are living on the hill, the walk ways between cabins and restaurant will have some inclination .There will be rocks and crates used as steps to guide you.
