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!

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!

The Palma Royale is across the street from the ferry and within a five minute walk to everything Bocas has to offer. The staff is fantastic and the room was comfortable and very clean. The entire town is noisy during the day and some of the town is noisy at night. Palma Royale is quiet and comfortable when the sun sets.

Loved the quick access to the dock for excursions. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Our room had a great view of the water and dock where the ferry comes in. Patio was a nice spot to relax after a day of adventures. Room was kept clean and always felt safe. Hotel is located a bit away from the majority of activities and restaurants, but only a short walk to be in it all. Would stay here again.

The hotel was right in front of a boat dock which was so convenient for excursions, walking distance from many restaurants and bars. The staff were attentive and kind. We got sick (i believe food poisoning) and the front desk staff were kind enough to get us gatorade, medice and cleaned our bathroom. Overall, really nice stay, would recommend 👌

It is a nice hotel with a good location that is reasonably priced. Staff was nice! Breakfast daily at the Buena Vista was very good. My recommendations would be improvement in the pillows. I travel weekly all over the world. These were the largest, hardest most uncomfortable pillows I have ever used. Would be an easy fix. A good night sleep is important.
