“Good location! Recently renovated rooms!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

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.

“Comfortable, great staff, great price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

We had a great room with our own balcony, bathroom, and fans to keep us cool. We were close to stores, restaurants, Bocas Yoga, and the water. We paid $40 a night for two people and the bed was very comfortable. It was safe, had night staff, and was fuss; I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Room Tip: Stay on the 2nd floor in the front to get a good view and nice breeze.

“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.
