Boquete Inns - Reviews and Rates

I arrived in Boquete mid day on Sunday and got squared away at Refugio
del Rio (www.refugiodelrio.com). Its a really nice place...really clean
and comfortable and the location is hard to beat. Its a couple of
blocks from the center of town and situated on the river...which is
more like a babbling brook. Its less than 2 blocks from th...

We've arrived at our next destination, the small retreat/hotel known as Rancho de Caldera. While we've just arrived, I have not uploaded any photos, but that will probably change before the end of the day. This place is the definition of luxury. It's incredibly simple, yet has plenty of charm about it. The owner has graciously offered us a two r...

Having been in Boquete over a week now, I´m the one recommending what to do and where to go. After all, this is a small town in Panama. There are a number of American and European tourists here. The Americans are here for shorter periods of time and spend more per day to have fun. The Europeans stay longer and the less than ideal lodgings do not...

Wouaaaah Wouaaaaaah Wouaaaaaaaah... Welcome to Paradise... We found the place to be... The place to be a volunteer and have an amazing experience, living the dream every minute : PAradise Garden. Owned and runned by Paul and Jenny a retired English couple, Paradise garden is a refuge, rescuing and releasing animals native from Panama, Costa Rica...

We took a bus to Caldera and then walked for approx 30 mins to the Caldera hot springs, they are situated on some Panamanians land and you pay them to go and use the natural springs. There are three hot springs with different temperatures, the hottest was like a very hot bath and the coolest still really nice and warm, after the two hottest natu...

Went for a walk this morning which is beautiful in scenery but not always a tranquil venture. I dont know if I lived here for a year if I would ever get totally use to the men of Panama. I could be wearing a nun habit and I still think they would hiss, ¨Hello baby. Sweet mama¨ and honk their horns at me. In the beginning I really thought people ...

Arg! My scariest dream has come true......I have to dance with a bunch of Latinos tomorrow. I have been invited by a friend here to go to a new Discotech in the bigger city of David. I dont want to say no but I am seriously nervous. My ¨sister¨ at my homestay showed me some moves that involve more hip that I have ever used in front of a crowd! I...

The trip from Puerta Viejo to David was a memorable one for sure. Robin and I boarded a packed bus with all our bags and were off to Sixola to cross the border to Panama. We had to lug all the bags across the border and get our Visas stamped which really doesnt sound that tricky until I looked at the bridge we had to cross. I have a HUGE backpac...

Boquete is a small town surrounded by moutains. It is know for its cool, fresh climate but it felt more like an oven to me. I spent a few days walking up and down some mountains. There's not much else to report from here.

We have made it up the mountain town of Boquete. It is about 3200 feet up, and quite nice and cool and breezy. We hope that being here awhile will help us acclimate more to the weather in no-snow land. We are staying at Hotelito Nombu, a new hostel here. It is run by a Swiss girl and her Costa Rican Boyfriend. The "dorm room" is actually just th...
