We had a great time at Palmar tent lodge and as long as you know and want what they provide you will too! Relax on an amazing beach, explore the jungle, snorkel or take excursions and you will love it!

I’ve never seen such a sweet jungle setting with cute little tents, all cozy, clean and bright. What a fun idea! And it is right in front of the amazingly beautiful Red Frog beach.

If you like the beach and are okay with camping, you will LOVE palmar. My husband and I stayed in one of the safari tents (with 2 twin beds- only one available) for 3 nights. Red frog beach is absolutely stunning and the tents are right on it. There are chairs, umbrellas, surfboards, body boards, volleyball, and plenty of other... More

Palmar Tent lodge is an oasis or perfection. Nestled snugly into the cool canopy of the dense tropical rainforest you will find heaven. The ocean breeze whispers through the trees reminding you that the clear Caribbean is only steps away. Palmar is the kind of place you visit and instantly find yourself at home. The overall atmosphere will teach even... More

What a wonderful place to just unwind... you really couldn't ask for a better location or better amenties for camping on the beach! The beach here is perfection and falling asleep every night listening to the ocean and the sounds of the jungle was amazing. Great little bar/lodge, very convenient communal kitchen, and walking distance of a couple of places... More

I came here in March 2012 when I was traveling with my sister. We loved our tent. It was such a reasonable deal! It was very comfy. This place was very eco-friendly. The employees were helpful and friendly. My favorite thing was the location. It's on Red Frog Beach by the volleyball court area. It was amazing to walk out... More
