What a gorgeous beach! This was a magical place with the friendliest staff, a great restaurant, and beautiful accommodations. I chose the Jungalow room because I wanted to be immersed in nature. The structure was rustic, but it was so cool hearing all the jungle noises while I slept. The shower was also big and open to the jungle, which was really cool. My friend chose a newer air-conditioned room, which was really lovely. We met travelers from all over and we’re having breakfast with them by the last morning. Highly recommended!

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.

A beautiful, comfortable, and modern place in the heart of the jungle, perfect for truly disconnecting and recharging. We loved the peaceful atmosphere and the excellent food and drinks at Selva. Special thanks to Lea and the entire team for their genuine care and attentive service, which made our stay truly special.

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.

Food was great.. Atmosphere was a vibe. Beautiful island to explore. If you want your own little beach, you can find one. Water taxis to other islands was made easy. Understand that you want to travel light if staying here. Couple.. we had two backpacks and a carry-on. Easy money, it was a nice 8 min walk in a dirt path to the resort. Great experience.. great staff.. Just understand, this isnt a Hilton. This is a beautiful eco lodge type deal.

Great staff. Nice room. Great beach. Bring insect repellent! It's a bit of a hike from the pier to the room, so call ahead and they will help with your luggage.
