They have different options of rooms for every traveler, I traveled with friends and we chose AC rooms with private bathroom and they were very comfortable. They also offer tours which are usually better quality than if you get it in town (Isla Colon). Would go back to El Palmar. ##### Katya Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### janell Jan 18, 2026 Disliked: Staff & service All was ok. Service in the restaurant was poor.

Tents are ok, there is only bed inside + box to store things. Food in the restaurant is very decent, drinks as well. Plastic chairs are disturbing eco orientation. Overall very nice, with little more effort it could be fantastic. ##### Rok ### 10/10 Excellent #### James Jun 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Our Little Secret you can't help but gasp when you enter this property. places like this do not exist! it's something out of a movie. from the time you get off the boat until the time you have to leave with the guys taking your luggage back to the dock in wheel barrows.... Wow! Exactly the kind of vacation spot that I was looking for. Beaches with no vendors and very few people... Amazing... ##### James Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Stefan Jan 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great hotel, beach but bevare of no beach chairs My review should be seen in relation to the fact that it is an expensive hotel. The room and the staff were very good. The food was okay. What bothered us the most, unfortunately, was that the hotel did not live up to the rules regarding beach chairs. According to the staff, beach chairs were supposed to be reserved for hotel guests, this was absolutely not the case. Every day after lunch, half of the beach chairs were taken by other people, in addition to this, ordinary chairs from the restaurant were moved out onto the beach. It felt a bit like a hostel with lots of day guests, completely unacceptable. One of the days I complained and asked who was responsible for the policy to be followed, unfortunately I got a vague answer that the person was somewhere. The owner of this hotel needs to address this, I would like an answer. ##### Stefan Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Nora Jan 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Palmar Beach Lodge is truly a jungle beach paradise! This property definitely takes some effort to get to. You must take a boat from Bocas del Toro town to Isla Bastimentos to a remote pier for Red Frog Beach. They drop you off and there's nothing around, but if you WhatsApp the hotel, they will assist with your bags. You must hike through a jungle on a dirt path to get there - keep this in mind! Once you are there, it is tucked into the jungle and is situated right on the beach. This was exactly the vibe I was looking for, but if you're looking for something with more around or a more luxury experience, I would look elsewhere. I stayed in a private room with air conditioning which made my week there very nice. the bathrooms in these rooms are very nice, but keep in mind that they are on an island and use rain water, so sometimes the water shuts off throughout the day when they change the filters - I wish the staff had shared this with me when I checked in. We had some issues with the lock on our door that was addressed the day before we checked out, but I also understand they must bring parts from other islands on a boat through the jungle. The restaurant and bar is lovely, but keep in mind they get busy so have some patience. It's one of two places right on the beach so a lot of day visitors come to the bar/restaurant, as well as hotel guests. The lodge also has hostel accommodations so you get a good mix of people. Overall, a nice experience. ##### Nora Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard Nov 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Great staff. Nice room.

Unser Zimmer (Beach Cabana) war in gutem Zustand und sehr sauber. Die Mitarbeiter waren alle freundlich und haben sich sofort um jegliche Anliegen gekümmert. Der Baustellenlärm war etwas störend, hielt sich aber in Grenzen. Das Restaurant ist direkt am Strand, was toll ist. Wir wären gerne länger geblieben ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Michael Dec 25, 2024 #### Licht und Schatten Direkt am schönen Strand gelegen, die netten Hütten mit Veranda und Hängematte liegen im Wald, direkt von der Veranda lassen sich tagsüber sehr gut die kleinen Frösche beobachten. Momentan wird wohl ein Pool gebaut, aufgrund der Lärmbelästigung spendierte das Hotel das Frühstück, das war eine angemessene Reaktion. Das Personal an der Rezeption ist freundlich und bemüht. Vielleicht aufgrund der Baumaßnahmen wirkte einiges ungepflegt (Matten lagen wild durcheinander an den Bäumen u.ä.). Nichts mit dem Bauvorhaben hat aber der schleppende Service im Restaurant und am Strand zu tun. Teilweise wirkt das Personal unmotiviert, sogar unfreundlich. Nach Regenfällen braucht es lange Zeit, bis die Stühle, Tische usw. zum Frühstück oder Abendessen benutzbar gemacht werden....wer möchte sich schon auf einen nassen Stuhl setzen? Das Essen morgens und abends ist durchschnittlich. Es gibt aktuell viel zu wenig Liegen für die Hotelgäste, vielleicht wird es besser, wenn die Poolliegen dazukommen?! Strandhandtücher können an der Rezeption geholt werden. ##### Michael Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janie Dec 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Endroit magnifique, personnel très sympathique, nous avons adoré notre séjour sur le bord de la plage, c’est à faire rêver! ##### Janie Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Petra Oct 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Super tolle Anlage, die einzelnen Häuschen liegen verteilt im dichten tropischen Wald.

Nice property overall. Good restaurant on site. The only thing: you pay though Hotels.com. It is not actually the payment. The property just put your money on hold. And then when you come they will charge again with 5% credit card processing fee. Whatever you pay by card at this property. Will be 5% extra. So take cash. But again. I had a very lovely experience. One of the best beaches in Bocas. ##### Alexey Stayed 1 night in Jan 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels with Hot Tubs in Golden](https://www.expedia.ca/Golden-Hotels-Hotels-With-Hot-Tubs.0-0-d6058316-tHotelsWithHotTubs.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Historic Hotels in Downtown Gatineau](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Gatineau-Ottawa-Hotels-Historic-Hotel.0-n553248633981727667-0-tHistoricHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Mexico](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Mexico.d117.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Casa Arts](https://www.expedia.ca/Alcaucin-Hotels-Casa-Arts.h53874660.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Caesars New Orleans Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Caesars-New-Orleans-Casino-Hotels.0-l6224022-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Mawlynnong](https://www.expedia.ca/Mawlynnong-Hotels.d553248635964830695.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [LGBT Friendly Hotels in Oviedo](https://www.expedia.ca/Oviedo-Hotels-LGBT-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d2722-tLGBTFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Veazie](https://www.expedia.ca/Veazie-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d3000440375-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Pet-friendly Hotels in Fernie](https://www.expedia.ca/Fernie-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d181765-tPetfriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Balconies in River North](https://www.expedia.ca/River-North-Chicago-Hotels-Hotels-With-Balconies.0-n6350695-0-tHotelswithBalconies.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [PheZulu Guest Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Falls-Hotels-Phezulu-Lodge.h23665555.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabin Rentals Brule](https://www.expedia.ca/Brule-Cabins.d6221737-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels near Lundy's Lane](https://www.expedia.ca/Lundys-Lane-Niagara-Falls-Hotels.0-n6277558-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cabin Rentals Beaver Mines](https://www.expedia.ca/Beaver-Mines-Cabins.d3000447494-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Romantic Hotels in Southeastern Michigan](https://www.expedia.ca/Southeastern-Michigan-Hotels-Romantic-Hotel.0-0-d6233904-tRomanticHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Neighborhood Hotel - Grand Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Buffalo-Hotels-GB.h75210409.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Bai Dai Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Bai-Dai-Beach-Hotels.0-l6054453-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Waskesiu Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Waskesiu-Lake-Hotels.d6123766.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Ecohabs Tequendama Parque Tayrona](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Marta-Hotels-Ecohabs-Playa-Canaveral-Parque-Tayrona.h76721948.Hotel-Information) > > [Pukyo Bed and Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Phonsavan-Hotels-Pukyo-Bed-And-Breakfast.h26693583.Hotel-Information) > > [Divalux Resort & Spa Bangkok, Suvarnabhumi Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Bangkok-Hotels-Divalux-Resort-Spa-Bangkok.h35453453.Hotel-Information) ### Cars ### Packages > [El Gouna Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Gouna.d11947.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Pattaya Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Pattaya.d9514.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Plainfield](https://www.expedia.ca/Plainfield.dx6352600) > > [Visit Erie](https://www.expedia.ca/Erie.dx1160)
