If being by the water is a major draw, Starfish Beach is a spot you might want to check out, located 0.7 mi (1.1 km) from central Boca del Drago. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at Bluff Beach.
Whether you want to hunt for sand dollars or smell the fresh air, Tortuga Beach is a spot you might want to check out when visiting Big Creek. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at Paunch Beach, Bluff Beach, and Istmito Beach.

Hotel Palma Royale
6/10 Okay
"All great, handy location but none of the patio doors lock so had to lug all valuables and equipment around as room was not secure. Friendly staff at front counter."
"Ok. Here is a review to help people as I have seen some bad reviews. This property is not a $1500/night maldives room. It needs some TLC - some deck boards and railings are at end of life, as are some chairs. We stayed in the master suite and really liked the place. Water is crystal clear, master suite has the best fish viewing, owners are really friendly and eager to please, food and drinks are decent - fresh OJ for the tequila sunrise! The charging station at the reception is not a big deal. I don’t need tvs. Fans kept us cool and it rained almost every night. There were a couple minor damp spots after rain but did not need the provided container. For the price this place is 100% worth it. I would go back in heart beat. If you need a blow dryer and straight iron and other high powered appliances to feel like you at home and need to watch your reality TV on a big screen, you might want to skip this. If you want a great relaxing location and unique experience - do it! "
"Got locked out with no one available to let me in.
Room smelled funky
No coffee available in the morning
Paid cash and requested a reciept.
Was told I would get one and never did"
"We had an amazing stay here! The location is perfect-very easy to walk to everything, but very quiet and peaceful. Tammy was a fabulous host, helping us with everything from restaurant recommendations (which were all great!) and even driving us to one of the locations which was quite far from town and to the airport. Breakfast was delicious. Our room had everything we needed for our stay, and there is a wonderful big balcony up top with beautiful views. We loved our stay here!!"
"The property is breathtaking! Absolutely beautiful.
Staff was kind. The lodge was stayed in was comfortable and spacious. The view from the balcony was stunning. Wish there was one more restaurant in the property. There are times when the only restaurant does not offer food service so plan your tours etc accordingly. The restaurant functions on island time so pack your patience. The listing on Expedia says private pool for the lodge but it is actually shared between 10 lodges. Overall a great stay ! "
"Refused to allow us to arrive early stating they did not have space - simply not true..it is a very large compound with many places to hang out.
They need more staff - the owners are working too hard and seemed burned out.

"Divers Paradise Hotel was clean and well-maintained, making for a very comfortable stay. The location is perfect close to everything and especially convenient for diving excursions. The staff provided top-shelf service throughout, making it an outstanding choice for any diver or tourist."
