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...

Fantastic spot. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant and bar are top notch. Beach and accommodations all very clean. Overall Palmar was above our expectations. We will be back again and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet spot off the beaten path and away from the crowds and noise of the towns.

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.

bring cash. they will charge 5% for any card trans
Amazing beach. 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.

A poorly run hotel on a nice island
This hotel could not have been q bigger letdown. I don’t even know where to start. Oh, right; NO HOT WATER. That’s right, $330 a night but no hot water in the shower, even though I complained several times. What else? Reception closes at 4:30 and even until then it’s almost never staffed. Restaurant stops serving food before the advertised hours and you’re left with nothing to eat. When it’s open, they are always out of everything. Service is terrible, especially the single mom who leaves her crying baby between the tables and goes out of her way to avoid customers and be rude to everybody - Ana I think her name is. The wall from the pier is a real hike - not fun when carrying suitcases. Want to hop over to Bocas? Good luck with that - you’re on your own and getting back at dark is basically impossible. Avoid this place. I recommend Bambuda lodge which was a thousand times nicer and half the price

Stay in the Sloth room if you can!
Perfect stay - upgraded to a room with A/C and a TV at check in and had a great view of the jungle from the balcony (we were in the “Sloth” room). Bar staff was amazing, fast service, super friendly, and all of the food we ordered was very good. They have a good happy hour from 5-7 as well! Seemed like the best option for sure on Red Frog and I think the only restaurant on the beach open Monday’s? Absolutely recommended!

This property contracted with a 3rd party that allowed us to book a room as a family, then when we showed up refused to let us stay there. Not only did they turn us away, they still made us pay for our reservation. These outfit is HORRIBLE and do not deserve your money. Find your flow with some truly good hearted people.

This was an unfortunate situation in which the guest did not realize he was booking at an adult-only property, as is stated on Expedia in our main description, policies, property rules, direct website, confirmation email, and prior to arrival email.

HOSTEL EN LA MEJOR ISLA DE LO MEJOR DE PANAMÁ
El lugar es privilegiado en cuanto a la naturaleza y ubicación, y el hostel es de primera categoría y da al mar. Hay que tener en cuenta que, (a) por encontrarse el establecimiento sobre la playa Red Frog, no se puede acceder vía terrestre al centro urbano de la isla Bastimentos y (b) no hay espacios comunes para cocinar ni guardar alimentos y bebidas en heladera. La persona que atiende en recepción fue muy atenta y cordial en su trato. Quedo decepcionado con (c) el horario de atención del restaurante -pués cierra la cocina muy temprano- y (d) con la (des) atención recibida -salvo alguna honrosa excepción- de quienes atienden la barra del bar, mucho más proclives a atender más amablemente y mejor a huéspedes europeos y estadounidenses que a sudamericanos.

This is a gorgeous property, fun, eclectic and eco friendly with lovely manicured grounds. Food has all been great so far and fair prices. Drinks are good, a little expensive but it’s premium booze. Yoga was fantastic! Staff are great, sometimes a little lax on the cleanliness standards (hand washing, etc) but I think you gotta remember this is a hostel. Overall the cleanliness is pretty great though! A couple notes: The tents are awesome to stay in, comfy beds but they only give one fan so bring your own mini fan if you have trouble sleeping when it’s warm. They lack things like hand towels after you wash your hands so I find that a little strange. Nothing dries in the humidity here and you are expected to reuse your towel, etc. I feel like they should install hooks all around their tents (and dorms). They have a “hanging area” in the sun but I heard it’s just as bad (i.e. nothing dries) and I prefer to keep my items nearby.

Beau cadre mais nourriture pas terrible
Cadre Très beau de cet hôtel, nous avons passée une très bonne journée ensoleillée. Seulement, la nourriture n’est vraiment pas bonne, les portions trop petites. Quand il y a marqué « pankakes » avec assiette de fruit et que vous rajouter un topping de 1$ pour avoir du chocolat en plus vous vous retrouvez avec 2 pankakes nature dans l’assiete, 3 petites tranches de fruits dans une assiette et une ridicule portions de chocolat en poudre, vous le voyez et le sentee même pas. Pour les plats le goût n’est pas fabuleux.. et la propreté des tables quand vous mangez avec quelqu’un est à revoir car vous devez souvent le faire vous même ... bref dommage ! Sinon la plage est vraiment très belle, c’est amusant de dormir dans la tente qui elle est très propre !

This island is beautiful, but I think I would have been a lot happier at this hotel/lodge if I was 10-15 years younger (if I was in my early 20's). The staff was very friendly, but all very young and more looking to party and date then service. The bathrooms/toilets were pretty dirty, and trashes were over-flowing (which is extra gross when you don't flush toilet paper). The showers were clean and beautiful, but remember, you're on a small island, so showers are limited rainwater (cold and quick). The biggest disappointment was having the front desk call for a water taxi after checkout, then waiting at the dock for an hour and a half (can't walk back because you might miss them, can't call due to reception) and therefor missing my flight. Did they actually call? Or does the water taxi just not care about that hotels business that much? Either way, it was pretty disappointing. Met some people that stayed at Red Frog Bungalows (neighboring property) and raved about the rooms and staff, I'll definitely be staying there next time.

Strand, Dschungel, Atmosphäre - besser geht nicht!
Open Air-Übernachtung im Dschungel mit Meeresrauschen - bucht den Jungalow und ihr habt alles! Zelte kostengünstiger und ähnlich naturnah. Top Lage an einem der schönsten Strände der Inselgruppe, sehr entspannte Atmosphäre, dennoch alles top organisiert. Ecologde mit wirklichem Konzept! Zentrale Aufenthaltsbereiche/ Toiletten teilweise sauberer als in einem 4 Sterne-Hotel, Essen aus unserer Sicht vergleichsweise preiswert und alles, was wir probierten, sehr gut. UV-gefiltertes Regenwasser kostenlos. Flasche mitbringen! Das gesamte Personal war ausnahmslos super freundlich. Wlan funktioniert gut. Mosiktos weniger als erwartet. Biologisches Mückenmittel wird beim Einchecken gereicht (Autan Tropical hat es aber auch getan). Durchschnittsalter zwischen 18 und 25. Wir als Familie fühlten uns dennoch willkommen. Kinder sind ab 12 Jahren vom Hotel aus zugelassen, was auf der hotels.com-Website so nicht ersichtlich ist. Kinder hier online nicht buchbar. Hotline anrufen, dann klappt es! Eines unserer schönsten und vor allem überraschendsten Urlaubsunterkünfte der letzten 10 Jahre - und wir machen jedes Jahr Rundreisen irgendwo auf der Welt! Mehr als perfekt und jederzeit wieder!!!

Reasonable rates for a place on a beautiful beach
We stayed three days here which proved to be just the right amount of time for the type of accommodations we had at this place; the tent rooms. The spaces are quaint and reasonably clean, but it was nice to have a whole room after three days of crouching over all the time. The mattress was also on the very firm end of the spectrum, but overall it was a good experience and I’d recommend this place to others. Other pros: -Laid back environment: although the place was seemingly full, it didn’t feel the least bit packed. -Food is generally good and so are the prices. -The facilities (eating area, games room, bathrooms) were well kept and nice. -Staff are friendly. - didn’t have to wear a silly bracelet, though others were so I’m not sure how that works. Cons: - Food service is pretty slow at times, but unless you have somewhere to go, it’s not that big of a deal. - wifi is ridiculously slow, especially the upstream, so if you need to do more than check the odd email on the internet, this place isn’t for you. - you pay for your drinks and food upon checkout, and while you do get an itemized bill, there was no verification by staff that I was in the room I said I was in when ordering things. It was actually convenient, but this sometimes had me wonder what would stop someone else from throwing the odd drink on my tab. As it turned out it wasn’t an issue, but maybe something to keep an eye on.

Loved the staff except the owner ( Erin) was not reliable at all. One more major concern : we saw couple syringes and needles on the beach in front of Palmar and Red frog beach , don’t walk bear foot at the beach ......The palmar lodge added a 10% “service charge” on top of tax , no one had any explication for that charge??

I am sorry to hear that your experience was not as great as you had expected, but it is always nice to hear that our staff is doing a good job. I am not sure what I could have done to be more reliable during your stay, but we trust our staff to run the establishment because we cannot always be on site. I am surprised to hear that you saw needles on the beach, as I have not seen that one time in the 4 years I have lived here and have never worn shoes on the property or on our beach. We do a beach clean-up once a week to help keep the beach as clean as possible, but things do wash up on shore every once in a while. The 10% service fee is added to all food, as is standard in Panama. We explain the fee on the menu, in the welcome book, and it explains that it is optional on the receipt.
