Breakfast is available each morning, and includes à la carte, continental and vegetarian options. At the lodge you will find a restaurant serving Belgian, Caribbean and French cuisine. Vegetarian, dairy-free and vegan options can also be requested.

The location is superb, as well as the bungalow we were accommodated in. You're in the midst of nature, but with all the comfort at your disposal. The cleanliness in the room was excellent, the owners very friendly and ready to help anytime with information. Breakfast was tasty, as well as the dinner served each evening at the spectacular restaurant. We also had access to kayaks and SUPs that we could use as we pleased.

Guests at the lodge can enjoy billiards on site, or hiking in the surroundings.

WOW, we LOVED our stay at Skully’s!! We kept saying over and over how glad we were that we had picked this place to stay, and were sad to leave and go to the next place after 2 days. We even recommended it to a couple we met later, who changed from their original hotel in Bocas town to Skully’s. The location was perfect — away from the town, but we super easy to get to the town by taxi, or as we did the second day, by renting electric bikes from Skully’s. The private beach was incredible — walking right outside our door and seeing the ocean and having lots of beach furniture free to use. They even provided 2 beach chairs in our closet which was such a nice touch. We also loved having the restaurant on site (all of the food was great — would have loved more local options, but we appreciated the convenience and variety) as well as the bar. Both the food and drinks were pricey, but we liked the convenience of them being there. We also enjoyed using the pool tables (billiards) and sitting in the pool/next to the pool when eating. Being able to rent electric bikes right there was great too. Have recommended it to many people since, and would definitely come back!!

    We had an amazing stay at Ataraxia, the hosts are so welcoming and friendly. We stayed in a sea view lodge which was perfect, the balcony had lovely views of the sea and jungle. On our second day we used the complimentary kayaks and went through the mangroves seeing sloths and many birds - an incredible experience! Thank you

    Everything. The place is outstanding, surrounded by nature, sea and wildlife. The huts are lovely and clean and very comfortable. Breakfast and dinner very good and they made vegetarian menu for me. The owners Pierre and his wife are so nice and helpful. They tried to make our days there so special. I give the place 10 points over 10. I recommend this lodge if you’re gonna spend some days in Bastimentos.

    We loved the lodge on the water but unfortunately there was no path to the restaurants on the island. We took a watertaxi and it was fine :)

    The stay in the Palmar Beach Lodge was excellent. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Food and Drinks in the Restaurant were very well. (vegeterian and vegan options) The beach was awesome. Although the rip currents was very safty to swim, because there is a lifeguard and the flags shows you, were you can swim.

    The place was beyond my expectations. Ecolodge at its best, with a wonderful room and deck in front of the sea, staff hired from nearby communities, and exquisite meals and cocktails. Wifi only available after a short walk, which forces you to healthily manage your connection time... this is sustainable tourism for real!

    the Palmar lodge clearly benefits from its location but forgets that it should also cater for its guests. rooms are nice, yet expensive for what you get
