Bambuda Castle - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Such a cute and great location. Beautiful views, comfortable bed and very peaceful. Food and beverages were delicious. Recommend 100%."

Hotel Ciudad De David

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, very clean, and friendly staff."

Gran Hotel Nacional

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place, clean and friendly staff."

Valle Escondido Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Disfrute mucho de la atención del personal (moleste mucho y fueron respetuoso, eficientes y tenían excelente actitud), las habitaciones (me tocó quedarme en 2) y las 2 de alta calidad en todo sentido y todo en excelentes condiciones, la comida buenísima en el restaurante, y la ubicación súper conveniente cerca del pueblo pero en un lugar tranquilo sin ruidos. Único problema es el internet, y que las televisiones son viejas y no son muy friendly con las aplicaciones de streaming, nesecitan mejor WiFi y televisiones más modernas. Tenían cable y funcionaba bien pero ya no uno no usa eso. Deberían invertir en mejores routers, quizás starlink dado que es boquete y el internet no es muy estable y cambiar las televisiones. Recomienda mucho hotel, es el mejor lugar para quedarse en todo boquete y lo digo por experiencia. Volveré."

Boquete Garden Inn Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Muy buena la experiencia."

Hotel Panamonte

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place peaceful"

Villa Alejandro

8/10 Good

"Beautiful honeymoon suite with fantastic mountain views. Some minor negatives: The floorboards were very creaky when walked on, and I’m not a heavy man. Since the suite is above the common area, it makes you feel self-conscious to walk around. It would’ve been nice to have had some changed sheets, and bed made in the room. Proprietors are very friendly, communicate well, and are polite, but not there on premises. There is no front desk service, and it was tricky navigating checking in, as I had poor Internet reception and couldn’t message them effectively to get instructions. But otherwise, a very lovely place with a with a bed-and-breakfast vibe (minus the breakfast)."
