Our Story
In 1502 AD, innovative explorers, after a long journey, were mesmerized by a rock formation that looked like the "mouth of a bull" (i.e., Bocas del Toro). Banking their vessels near the entrance of what is today the Resort's entrance and walking onto the island, the sailors were immediately captivated by the beauty and abundance on this island they named "Bastimentos." The name is interpreted as "provisions" because of the abundance of fresh spring water and nourishing fruits. The sailors found rejuvenation of body and spirit at Red Frog Beach after a long journey.
