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.

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 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 👌

Thank you for a great stay to Juan Pablo, Kelly, Sasha, Zulay, Marlenis, and Astry. From a person with multiple chemical sensitivity, you went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. For that I'm so grateful.

Hotel Palma Royale was a good property, we stayed in the suite so we had a kitchen, which was fun as we were able to cook and entertain friends that also traveled with us. Its a cozy hotel, and has all you will need. However, there are water jugs in the hallways for guests; it ran out and we called letting know, they mentioned it wouldnt be refilled until the next day because "there wasnt many guests staying that night". The elevator is very small as well, literally only fits 1 person and their luggage or 2 people without luggage. Other than that it was a decent property and focal location.

The property is on the corner of the island, so it is less noisy, but the property is not on the water like many other hotels. Rooms were clean and maintained with AC and Water (drinking and bath). My only complain is airport pick up. I didnt know that airport pick was available, so we took self-paid taxi. However, hotel staff mentioned that only one way is provided by the hotel which didnt make sense. Overall, good experience.

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.

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.

short break
This small hotel is located at the end of the main street so a bit away from the booming music of the many bars frequented by a very young crowd - thought it was Spring break or something as so many around. There is a water taxi station across the street. There is no restaurant in hotel and you have to walk to a restaurant a few minutes away with your breakfast voucher. There is very little in-room amenities but a small coffee machine which is not conducive to making tea and even when you pour the water through there is a lingering coffee after-taste. Water coolers are located outside of rooms to fill water jugs as drinking local tap water is not recommended. Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful in booking local tours and activities. There is not much to do on the main island Colon but definitely worth the water taxi to explore Pollo Beach and the stunning Red Frog Beach on the Isla Bastimentos; we even saw dolphins on our way. Bastimentos sky canopy zip line tour was scary for me but amazing through the rainforest and guides on hand to help. Bacos del Toro is great for relaxing after Panama City and the staff at Hotel Palma Royale try their best to make your stay comfortable.

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.

Another time in Paradise
I travel quite frequently to Panama and Bocas Del Toro and Palma Royale is my favorite hotel in Bocas Town. Located at the end of the Main Street with a great see view and more quite and chilled atmosphere, seconds from some of the best restaurants and bars, and minutes from the beaches in Carenero Island. Comfort and luxurious rooms, fully equipped and decorated, most welcoming and helpful team. Always a pleasure to stay here. Highly recommended.

I like the location. It was at the quieter end of the busy street. Room was nice: big, clean, comfy bed and pillows, big bathroom, air con and ceiling fan, a little deck. The mini fridge was also great to have as there’s mini markets just a block away. Access to refilling water on each floor was great.
