About this property
Palmar beach Hostel accepts these cards and reserves the right to temporarily hold an amount prior to arrival. -Palmar Beach Lodge is currently undergoing renovations and construction in our restaurant area through September 2025. These improvements are designed to offer you a better experience in the future, with modernized spaces and new facilities unique to the Bocas del Toro archipelago. During this period there will be construction between the hours of 9 am and 5 pm, Monday to Saturday, which may cause inconvenience, primarily from noise. However, all services will remain fully operational with alternative beachfront dining areas. We will do everything possible to minimize the impact on your experience and maintain our high standards of service. For guests that plan to go out and explore during the daytime, such as exploring all of the nearby beaches, hikes, tours, etc, impact will be minimal or none. To compensate, all reservations already include a 30% discount off our regular rates. We appreciate your understanding and support as we work to make Palmar Beach Lodge an even better place. We look forward to welcoming you back again afterwards to enjoy the results of these improvements!
