Nice hotel in front of one of the nicest beach in Bocas del Toro (Red Frog). Staff is friendly, food is good and at a fair price, and amazing breakfast! 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.

The location was fantastic. The rooms were nested into the jungle and they were very comfortable. The staff is amazing, they look after your every need. The restaurant served some the most delicious food that we ate anywhere in Panama. I would highly recommend anyone to choose this hotel.

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.

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!

Comfortable jungle experience plus great beach

Eco resort in the jungle and next to the beautiful beach. 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.
