Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Swan's Cay

This two-story wooden complex behind the Palacio Municipal fits into Bocas well enough, but inside the lobby feels like Old Europe with dark woods and a long staircase leading to second-story rooms. The rambling hotel has its selling points, mainly the courtyard pool and minor upgrades in 2014. Rooms, with imported furniture, flat-screen TVs, and white bedding draped in velvet throws, are a mixed bag: some are bright, some are dark, some have hardwood floors while others have wall-to-wall carpeting. Your best bets are rooms 236 and 237 with hot tubs and large balconies.
