Hacienda Apartment in Boquete

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hacienda house for the month of June. It is a beautiful property with extensive tropical gardens to explore and several sitting areas to enjoy being outside, whatever the weather. We saw fireflies every evening, and birds all day long. Gorgeous!The location in the hills above Bajo Boquete was cool and breezy, a little wetter than some other locations, which suited us well. We were glad to have a capable vehicle to get up the hill. (Not a location to walk into town, though taxis would work fine.)Quincy and Ciella were friendly, helpful and attentive to every need that arose, and a pleasure to talk with when we crossed paths. The weekly cleaning was effective and unobtrusive. With a full kitchen, we could settle in to cooking many of our own meals. The floorplan is well laid out for privacy and time together. The second bedroom has a sitting area of its own. We enjoyed this as a haven to retreat to between adventures, as well as a place to just unwind and relax. Can't recommend enough!

Wonderful, friendly welcoming from host. They were very responsive and helpful. Because this place is high up in the mountain, it can be hard to get a cab to come pick you up at 8:30 to go into town. Best to perhaps prearrange a trusted cab for your ride. Not knowing this (and we arrived late into town via shuttle), we didn’t have enough food for our teenage son. When I asked host how we can get into town to feed our “starving” teenager, they let us know it’s hard to do so in the evening, but then immediately brought us a bunch of their food for him! That was an incredibly generous gesture! Thank-you for being so thoughtful!! All that said, it’s a 20 minute steep but doable walk down to the bottom and maybe 10 minutes more depending on your fitness level climbing back up. Well worth walking! Their cab drivers were wonderful. The place was perfect for us and we felt right at home. Good selection of spices for cooking. The grounds are stunning! They put a lot of time and effort into their place and it shows. Lots of places to sit, relax and enjoy your surroundings. There’s a tiny grocery store an easy walk away and a restaurant as well if it’s open. The area is very peaceful and quiet and we felt totally safe (even as a woman walking down the mountain alone). Lots of friendly locals greeting you while walking. I would highly recommend staying here and wouldn’t hesitate to return. Thanks for making our stay so enjoyable.

A little out of the way, but a whole lot of beautiful! The garden and the flowing river on the property are nothing short of spectacular!

We were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful landscaping. The pictures don’t do it Justice.The landlord was terrific and inviting. I strongly recommend this place
