As you start your overwater bungalow and villa research, you’ll quickly notice that there are dozens of overwater resorts around the entire world. This is great as it grants people from different regions access to a villa that isn’t too terribly far away. If you reside somewhere in North America, particularly speaking, the US and Canada, then you’ll note that there aren’t any overwater resorts along the vast stretches of coastline. However, there is one within the state of Florida.
We are constantly asked if there are any of those amazing overwater bungalow resorts in the Caribbean, and many people are disappointed to learn that there are only a few options that come close to what you would find in the South Pacific and the Maldives.
With this said, there are some good options for budget seekers off of the Caribbean coast of Panama. Most of these hotels, lodges, and resorts tend to focus more on nature and being as eco-friendly as possible than on luxuries, so they’re certainly not for everyone.
