Convenient location downtown. Although we didn’t swim the pool looked nice. The hotel is a bit dated but the room had decent amenities like a cold mini fridge and AC.

This was a budget family holiday and the location was great for restaurants bars and nightlife. We used the hotel as a base for travelling to different islands using water taxis so ticked the box .
Staff were friendly and helpeful.
Excellent stay with pool, clean & breakfast buffet
This was a really spectacular stay as the room was spacious/clean and had a fridge, tv, air conditioning, good wifi, safe, hot water, and a deck (for the specific room provided). There was a great pool in the courtyard in a private space. There is also breakfast in the adjacent Japanese restaurant that serves a morning buffet from 7-10am with good options for omelet, braised chicken, pastries, ham/cheese, and coffee/tea/juice for a good value. Ali (spelling... sorry) was super informative during check-in and she kindly remembered to wish a happy birthday which I appreciated. The rest of the ladies there are very friendly and smiling to welcome you; the gentlemen not so much but service was efficient.
The rooms are very small and clean. the location is in the heart of town. the pool is nice and the restaurant on location is a good breakfast deal at $8.90 for the buffet

Hotel is ok, depending on the rate you get its not worthy what its charged.
We really enjoyed our short stay (3 nights) at Swan's Cay. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The pool was great, just steps away from our room and the water was the perfect temperature. Staff were helpful and friendly.
The only thing that was not great was the dog tied up next to a house behind the hotel that barked every afternoon/evening, but not much the hotel can do about that.

The hotel was okay but very limited amenities. Rooms had one glass, no access to ice and pool closed at 7.
Pictures are not the same as the condition of the room. This is false advertising! Dingy linen and towels and no bathroom amenities. Safe and refrigerator was out of order. I will never stay there again.

This property is very affordable. However the rooms are a little musty smell like mold. I stayed in room 124. The roads in Boca is horrible. They are working on the roads and I was told it's been a year and nothing much has changed. The pool was nice. Next door property is a soar eye.
The AC stopped working…so I had two very uncomfortable nights. Staff were not bothered. Don’t stay here.

Disliked: Staff & service
The hotel it self is really nice, the breakfast is okay, even though the staff will close the buffet 15 min before to a sure they had food left for them. The rooms are okay however the bed from our room 225 was as hard as prison beds, my back was killing me for 3 days. The cleaning staff are extremely loud and do not respect guest sleeping. To top that off we arrived pretty early at the hotel but we’re informed we couldn’t check in because “they’re were no rooms available” so we stayed in the pool area while they had “availability” it was 11 am and the room225 was cleaned. I passed by receptionist at 12 and asked and the receptionist told me she still had no room available. I came back at 4pm and to my surprise I was given room 225. So they basically made me wait around just because, if I would have known this I would have paid an extra day just to have a room available but this wasn’t event offered to me.
Breakfast not good and charged extra $10.00 for it
