Frances Hotel & Travel Guide\n
Those dreaming about exploring Frances, should be sure to pre-plan, as there's not a huge range of accommodation options in the vicinity of the center of town.
The Red Frog Beach Island Resort, Panama, which is the closest Travelocity-listed accommodation, lies 15 miles (25 kilometers) from the heart of downtown Frances. Also, you might like to think about the Tropical Suites Hotel, located in Panama, which is 11 miles (17 kilometers) from the heart of the city.
You should investigate the Playa Tortuga Hotel Beach And Resort and also the Swan's Cay. The Playa Tortuga Hotel Beach And Resort is located only 11 miles (17 kilometers) from downtown Frances. The Swan's Cay, is 11 miles (17 kilometers) away. The Hotel Tierra Verde and the Palmar Beach Lodge are two other recommended bases in Frances.
Boquete is 35 miles (58 kilometers) to the south of Frances and features Municipal Park and Church of San Juan Bautista. The HOTEL PANAMONTE and Valle Escondido Resort Golf and Spa are just some of the convenient hotel alternatives in Boquete. Alternatively, you could consider staying at Bocas del Toro, 10 miles (17 kilometers) northeast of Frances, where you can pick from the Turtle Beach House and Island Plantation. If you come to Bocas del Toro, you might like to visit the Finca Los Monos Botanical Garden and Bocas Marina.
For modern travelers planning on arriving via Tobias Bolanos International Airport, you may plan to book accommodation at Real InterContinental Costa Rica at Multiplaza Mall, or Costa Rica Marriott Hotel San Jose, which are both a short drive away.

Bocas Paradise Hotel
"We really enjoyed our stay; I think it's one of the best hotels in Bocas del Toro. Why? It's just a 10-minute walk from the airport. It is 100% clean. Friendly and helpful staff. The air-conditioning in the room works perfectly well. Boats to go to other islands/trip are next to the hotel and some can pick/drop you up at the back of the hotel. Nice restaurant, comfort and views. Then, across the street, there is a very cheap restaurant to have breakfast or something cheaper to eat. Shops nearby as well. The only negative point is that from Thursday to Saturday night the nightclub next to it, has very loud music. So, either you joint the party or book the hotel Sunday to Wednesday. The hotel provided earplugs, but... it's loud."
