A breath of French Aire in Bocas del Toro, this immaculate Luxury Eco Lodge has a 9.7 reputation on booking.com and is one of the only options of this caliber in the area.
Expertly designed and built by French people with guest experience in every detail.
THE PROPERTY:
Located on Isla Pastor, this high-end Retreat is nestled in a voluptuous Jungle, it’s 300 meters of the waterfront and is aligned with an exquisite Coral Reef.
The cabins and common space are all built to highlight a truly unique property feature a waterfall stream that cascades the length of the property.
Guests arrive by private boat to a two-story rancho perched over the crystal clear Caribbean sea.
From here they can launch their paddleboard and snorkel adventures, or jump in from the top floor.
Where the boardwalk of the dock meets the land, guests are then ushered up the hill in an all-terrain vehicle to the restaurant, bar, and pool site.
Each cabin at the Luxury Eco Lodge is unique and accessible from the main building via landscaped pathways, which are beautifully illuminated at night.
The attractiveness of operating a business on an island undoubtedly comes with the reality of boat commutes.
A huge advantage of Finca Vela’s location is its proximity to the port, Almirante is only 10 minutes away, making guests’ pick-ups and replenishing kitchen stocks a breeze.
THE BUSINESS:
Beyond the impressiveness of the Luxury Eco Lodge’s design, craftsmanship and natural beauty, the hotel underwent extensive renovations during the pandemic.
The improvements all contribute to the flawless operation of the site and will mean much less maintenance in years to come.
The off-grid solar system has been updated to the state of an art Solark system, and the batteries have been exchanged to an Fortress Evaul 18.5kwh lithium battery.
The Generator has been upgraded to a new HIMOINSA system which is sound and automatically initiates to protect batteries if they reach low levels.
The owners have perfectly maintained the cabins, pool and common area, bar/restaurant, and dock throughout the travel ban, ensuring the structures of the property maintain their value.
All the roofs have been redone in synthetic palm and are guaranteed for 20 years. Two natural bug-repellant systems have been installed one for the cabins near the sea and one at the top of the property.
The patios of the Mariposa and Treehouse cabins have been redone in Almendro, extremely resistant to rot.
The dock has been redone in Almendro, and the staircase to the infinity pool and restaurant has been renovated with a beautifully hand-crafted stone wall.
The kitchen has been renovated to offer more storage, and it now has a new stainless steel sink and a professional dishwasher.
Beneath the main building is a new laundry room.
These top-of-the-line investments ensure the smooth execution of everyday logistics and greatly affect the ultimate comfort of the guests while staying true to the green heart of the project.
