We arrived to Bocas del Toro in the rain, and Casa Max was the first place we checked to see if they had rooms. It is a block off of the main road and close to plenty of bars and restaurants (we especially enjoyed the Rip Tide bar that was around the corner). We were with another couple who took a small, basic room on the main floor, but our room on the second floor appeared to have been very recently renovated with wood floors, new bathroom etc. In fact during our stay a flat screen TV was installed! Not at all bad for the price that we paid! Especially during high season! The hotel has an Indonesian resturant attached to it that we only tried once for breakfast (delicious!). They also have security at night which was nice. We would have no issues recommended Casa Max.
