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 is great, big rooms, big bathroom and comfy beds and pillows. Breakfast was great. We had issues with the internet, signal was poor but the mentioned it was because the heavy rain in the mountains. The hotel is just in front of one of the piers to take tours to other islands.

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 👌

Property went missing from my room... Be aware!
Ground floor room was musty but OK. Sadly, left a mobile phone case, with some emergency cash on a table, rather than in the safe, went on a day trip and it was gone on my return... Staff said they would ask, but little interested.

The perfect hotel in Bocas main island
I absolutely loved staying there because it is so conveniently located where the main street is in Bocas. They also help book tours which are literally in front of the hotel. I love the staff, always kind, friendly and professional. I had the most amazing time there and hope to come back soon.

I enjoy the place and the hotel. Front desk was amazing and helpful. Hotel was great woth the 3rd and 4th floor with great view of the ocean. Great restaurant around the area with walking distance. I would return to Boca del Toro and stay at the same hotel.

We rented two rooms including the penthouse at Hotel Palma Royale - both accommodations were excellent. All the staff were very kind and willing to help in any way to make sure we were comfortable. The rooms were always clean and this building is at a convenient location for walking, shopping, or taking a taxi. We had an excellent stay at Hotel Palma Royale.

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.

The hotel is well kept for location. However, 2nd bedroom is actually a livingroom. Its walking distance to stores and supermarkets. Be sure to eat local accross the street at Rosti Pollos, cheap and delicious.

Very old location and in very loud area, they make you give your key back to the front desk every time you leave the hotel.
