The rooms were spacious and clean. The views were simply breathtaking. The hospitality was stellar!--the owners were so welcoming and kind; they even made phone calls for us to organize our tours/activities. Only a short cab ride ($4) from "downtown", but it was well worth it for the views! Bottom line: there is no better place to stay in Boquete.

The owners were extremely nice and were very accommodating. As soon as we asked it was addressed. They have a cafe where... More

El Parador is an awesome place!! Great location in Alto Jaramillo with spectacular views of Baru and the Valley that are indescribable and priceless. It is a little ways off from central Boquete, but Griselda is more than welcoming and willing to set up the various tours. Her cafeteria is very affordable and everything is homemade and delicious!
