Welcome to CareeningCay.com!

Our waterfront paradise is on the island, Isla Carenero, named because Christopher Columbus careened his

ship here in our bay, in 1503, before his last voyage

home.

 

The resort now encompasses 6 acres of lush, tropical landscaping and over 600 feet of waterfront. Our backyard is verdant rainforest.


We sit on a point facing west, which captures the refreshing Caribbean breeze and offers up fabulous sunsets. The resort is peaceful and quiet.  Coconut trees and many varieties of flowers and orchids fill our lush landscape.  We have hummingbird feeders throughout and it is a delight to watch the hummingbirds’ graceful movement and activity.

Many different birds and parrots can be heard singing and conversing in the trees. Butterflies, including huge Blue Morphos abound, Geckos and Fiddler Crabs are simply a fact of life here. A butterfly stamped sidewalk joins all our facilities and plans for adding a butterfly conservatory are under way. We are just a two minute boat ride across the bay to Bocas Town.

We enjoy the convenience of close proximity to town, yet are away from the hub, noise, pavement, cars and heat, while on our own tropical island. A three hundred and fifty foot dock extends out over the water leading you to the popular Cosmic Crab Café. Our delicious food and exotic frozen drinks are considered by tourists and locals alike to be the

best in the area.

Our menu favorites include Seafood Bisque, Cosmic Crab Cakes over Caesar Salad, Caribbean King Crab Claws, Grilled Lobster, Ribs, Burgers, Salads and daily Specials.  Frozen original drinks are made with fresh local fruits, and we make the world’s best Key Lime Pie!!!
