Banana Palms Hotel

Livingston and Rio Dulce

The journey to or from this hotel, located on the banks of the Rio Dulce, approximately 90 minutes by boat from Livingston is half the adventure. You pass small fishing settlements, indigenous villages and a profusion of wildlife, not to mention the superb primary rain forest that surrounds the area. The Banana Palms once had grand expectations and planned to build over 100 rooms on the edge of this sleepy little river and in the end it settled for 33.
