“Worthwhile”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 August 2011

We stayed here for three nights. Rooms are comfortable and very clean. The rooms in front have great view and balcony where you relax until late. The restaurant offers flexibility in breakfast and dinner, all fresh. However dinner is better in town, in terms of sociability and choice. They also have 2 parrots in a cage, which we found quite annoying. Location is good. Not in the middle of the centre but on walking distance (2 minutes). The owners should be a little more involved with their guests. However Bocas is a great town and you can arrange every tour in town or rent some bikes to cross the island. Casa max is a good place to stay.

“It was meh, but good meh”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 July 2011

Found it after escaping a dark, dingy hostel and was too tired to keep lugging all my carp around. 20 bucks for my own room during slow season. Nice mattresses, clean enough. Guess "enough" is the key word for this place. Indonesian-inspired menu was yummy enough, service was swell enough, place was comfortable enough and then after a day, I had enough. So farewell.

It's good, but Bocas has numerous options so shop around before committing.

“Very nice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 March 2011

Nice clean rooms, cool old building, friendly staff, decent food at restaurant. Cool parrot. Great little cafe in the camper across the street. Close to a couple good bars but not loud.

No complaints whatsoever.

“Great Value - Quiet and Comfortable Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 February 2011

We were unhappy with the hostel we were staying at across the road and discovered that for only a couple dollars more we could have private rooms at Casa Max. This proved to be a great place to stay - quiet and comfortable. Rooms are small, but you hardly spent anytime in the rooms when in Bocas. The best feature of Casa Max is the covered patio out front - perfect for those rainy or sunny days. Also, a great place to have a glass of wine and people watch!

“Basic hotel, good service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 February 2011

We stayed here for 4 nights after 2 sleepless nights at "Panama's Paradise". The room was good value with clean sheets and bathroom. We also had a shared balcony with hammocks. The bed was squeaking with every little move and the parrot was sometimes a bit loud. There were also some strange dark spots on the ceiling. Anyway, the staff was nice, talkative and helpful. All in all, a good place to stay.
