About Camaroncito
We Are Living Our Dream
After several years offering "glamping" services, Camaroncito went through a year of complete remodeling. We reopened in January 2023 with our four cabanas and social area. Most of the rainforest has been left untouched except for winding hiking trails and our permaculture farm.
We enjoy feeling at one with nature, so our buildings and furniture are rustic and hand-crafted from local wood. There are screened windows and ceiling fans for constant comfort. We hope you will find the absence of plastic and glitz refreshing.
Still, we enjoy modern conveniences, so our high speed satellite internet and awesome karaoke systems are solar-powered, and the showers have plenty of HOT water. We want you to feel at home, only better, because we do all the work!
Relax with a book in a hammock, or hang out in the kitchen to learn how to make local cuisine, or select your own cold beer or glass of wine from the bar. You can learn how to open a coconut with a machete to drink the fresh coconut water directly from the fruit!
Come to Camaroncito to be mesmerized by the sounds of the rainforest and the ocean surf simultaneously, be enchanted by the crystal clear stars unaffected by light pollution, and be entranced by the shadows cast by a full moon through the coconut palm trees.
Sarah loves pampering guests with delicious food and caring service. Although she was raised in Michigan, she has lived in six countries, and traveled to over 60 before arriving in Panama, so our kitchen is very international!
Ernesto can fix or make anything, and he is always the life of the party. He grew up in Panama Viejo (Old Panama), then studied architectural drafting in Cuba! It is his heartfelt privilege to share his love for salsa music and dancing with you!
The Owners of Camaroncito - Sarah Bajc & Ernesto Berrocal
We are living our dream. We are beach bums, foodies, and salsa dancers, and spent many years seeking out and traveling to places with forests and beaches, just like Camaroncito! Our four adult children, eight siblings, and many dear friends worldwide visit regularly. We love to share our escape from modern life. We protect our community by treating the environment and our workers with care and respect and contributing to economic development in our area.
