We orignally had reservations at another hotel in Bocas but when our cab pulled up to the hotel we knew we weren't going to stay there. The outside was horrific and the rooms were even worse. I'm not going to mention this hotel because they were nice enough to refund our money in full. We just told them that we... more

We read other people's reviews before we left for Panama, and I just find most of their comments unreasonable. We stayed here for 3 nights, and it was more than adequate. 2 blocks from the airport- it's a short walk. The hotel is all wooden on the inside and very European looking... which is strange... but it didn't bother any... more

I had high expectations going to this hotel. On the speedboat to the island, all the locals stated that this hotel and Bocas del Toro Hotel were the two best on the island. When we first got there, we were pleasantly surprised - the hotel lobby and common areas, including pool, were very nice. But the room itself was terrible!... more

Swans Cay Hotel is a very nice and somewhat formal hotel on such a casual island as Bocas Town is. We stayed in the annex which was great for a group but if booked there as a single or other than a group you might feel disconnected from the hotel. The annex is a very well renovated apartment house one... more

We arrived with high expectations for our small family reunion at Swan's Cay because friends in Costa Rica had given it high marks. Front desk people: generally very nice. Not always helpful, but nice. Having heard it was the nicest place in Bocas, the rooms were a surprise because at twice the price, they were no better than the Bahia... more

We had a pleasant stay at this hotel. This hotel seems to get mixed reviews because I really think the quality of your stay depends on the room you get. We traveled with a large group of people so we did get to witness the variances in terms of the quality and state of the rooms. DECOR - I agree... more

The owners of this hotel are great and very accomodating. While the interior is a little dark for a tropical hotel, it has a great Italian feel - very interesting and different. The perfect compliment to all of the delicious italian cuisine you will eat! Breakfast was delicious and the property is quiet, but close to everything I needed to... more

Allow me to read you an excerpt from my journal: Today we arrived at Swan's Cay Hotel. We were scheduled to stay at Bahia Hotel, yet it was overbooked. Our guides told us to rest assured, we were staying in the best place on the island. We walked in off the street to an opulant lobby. The walls are paneled... more

With lots of dark wood, carpets, and European antiques, Swan's Cay feels more like an Alpine Ski chalet than a tropical hotel. The carpeted rooms are a little dated and worn. They are tatty but functional. The price was about right for the hotel - although we stayed in the less expensive annex. The main building was more expensive although... more
