The staff was super sweet and the room was clean and huge. It was close enough to walk everywhere but not so much in the middle of town to get noisy outside. We loved our stay.

If you don’t like the sound of local music at 1am playing outside your hotel this isn’t the room for you. I actually enjoyed it and found it soothing. The penthouse suite was very large and spacious. The main reason I chose this unit was the fact that it had AC which was hard to find in the area

This was a lovely hotel, we are glad we stayed here. The hotel is based towards to south part of Bocas town, within 10 mins walk of the main area where all the restaurants and bars start, along with the public water taxi pier. Staff are super friendly and helpful, and made our stay an excellent experience. Highly recommend. 10/10.

This hotel was amazing and truly a gem in the area. It’s a little further from the main area but I enjoyed that aspect and there’s a dock right across to catch a water taxi. Very convenient. The front desk staff was so attentive and nice. Suli was especially kind to us! I would definitely stay here again!

Palms Royale

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at the Palma Royale. We found the suite very spacious and great for all of our needs. We especially enjoyed the wrap around porch where we were able to take in amazing views of the water. The front desk staff were all accommodating and happy to help us with anything we needed. I would highly recommend this hotel!
