Wir hatten eine gute Zeit in diesem sehr schön gelegenen Hotel
Pros:

Schönes Hotel in einer sehr schönen Gartenanlage. Super Aussicht von der Terrasse auf den Vulkan. Durch die Schiebefenster kann man auch abends, wenn es kühler wird, entspannt dort sitzen. Leckeres Frühstück!

Cons:

Die Zimmer sind etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber noch alles im Rahmen!

Tres joli
Pros:

La localisation parfaite et sublime ! Les chambres sont spacieuses et confortables, le petit déjeuner est top !

Cons:

Petit bémol sur les vérandas partagées, avec baie vitrée on voit facilement dans la chambre, ça manque d’intimité et l’insonorisation est mauvaise, on vivait un peu trop avec les voisins…

Pros:

Überall Blumen im Garten, viele Vögel und Kolibris, es gibt Futterstationen für die Vögel.
Nette Menschen, leckeres Frühstücksbuffet, toller Hot Tub / Whirlpool und Sitzmöglichkeiten am Feuer (Gas).

Cons:

Der Wäscheservice - leider wurden 90% unserer abgegebenen Sachen dadurch zerstört. Sie sind eingelaufen oder haben neue Flecken bekommen, die nicht mehr auswaschbar sind. Das ist sehr ärgerlich.

Mega grote kamer met heerlijk zwembad en jacuzzi
Pros:

We hadden een grote suite direct aan het zwembad en jacuzzi. Het ontbijt was prima, maar niet uitzonderlijk. Verder was de locatie net buiten Boquete top. Het is een kleinschalige accommodatie. Vriendelijk personeel!

Cons:

Eigenlijk was alles prima geregeld.

We loved the free breakfast and being able to eat before each excursion. Our room was cleaned every
Pros:

The staff was amazing and assisted us with excursions, rides, and recommendations. The grounds were beautiful.

Cons:

We wish there had been lounge chairs by the pool. Although secluded from the main down town the area is a little loud between cars and roosters.

L’appartement familial était grand, très propre avec tout ce qu'il faut pour cuisiner.
L’accueil a également était parfait.
La vue de la piscine et du jacuzzi est splendide

Cons:

Manque juste un store sur la fenêtre de la cuisine pour ceux qui dorment dans le salon mais sinon rien, tout était très bien

Lovely hotel with the best staff we have encountered in Panama
Pros:

The staff are outstanding, friendly and very helpful. The gardens are manicured and beautiful. The breakfasts were very tasty. The breakfast variety was excellent and the friendly staff were wonderful. The rooms are spacious and comfortable.
The property is a long way from the centre of town(30
Minute walk) but we were offered complimentary taxi rides to and from a couple of restaurants which was wonderful.
Any of the tours that the hotel suggest will pick you up from the hotel and drop you off so the distance from town isn’t a problem if you don’t have a car.
We really enjoyed our stay.

Cons:

Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate when we were there. It was cold and windy so we couldn’t make use of the outside spaces. Wind screens at the bar/breakfast area would make a big difference.
The voices carry easily between rooms so ear plugs might be helpful if you are a light sleeper.

Just loved it!
Pros:

We loved the beautiful garden, it is amazing! The pool/jacuzzi after a day out was so good, with view to the Baru volcano and the river beside, and we used it several times.
Clean rooms with what you need.
Breakfast was very good, and ind the evening you’ll find a couple of restaurants in walking distance, otherwise a walk to town takes 30-40 min and there is lot’s of good restaurants! Taxi to town is very cheap, we paid 4-5 usd one way.
The owners was great people, and lovely staff!
Will definitely recommend The Inn At Palo Alto!

Cons:

Nothing!

Serene beauty with the calming sounds of the river.
Pros:

I travelled with a group of 14 ladies.

What can I say, the gardens were amazing, staff went out their way in every way to help our tour group, the peaceful and serene settings were top notch.

The extra touches I enjoyed were not only the outstanding breakfast, and the champagne plus burning log fire in the evening.

This family run inn also helped me navigate my way around the local walks, did my laundry and helped me with my mosquito bites.

I walked into town each day and the rooms were large and spacious. I also used the gym, some of our ladies had a massage.

Local coffee shops and restaurants were in walking distance too.

The hotel also provided a shuttle service to two local restaurants in town.

There is something special about this place and it was insanely relaxing.

I love the gardens in particular and the sound of the river.

I highly recommend.
