Buena Vista Boquete

Host was not friendly, took his position too seriously. Thought he was in control of everything. Will not be returning here, that’s for certain. Host was up tight, genuinely bad person and gloomy nothing exciting about him. Not coming back to this place.

Pros: Room was clean and comfortable; hot shower; top floor has a nice area for seeing the town and includes refrigerator and gas stove, as well as coffee maker and tea kettle. Reasonable fee for host doing our laundry. Hosts are very nice. Convenient walk (2-7 blocks for most needs: pharmacy, groceries, restaurants) Con: Difficult to hunt down the owner to ask a question. It is not accessible To get to the top, requires 4 sets of stairs, not including the uphill sidewalk! Being in decent shape is a must!

The price was fair considering what's on offer in Boquere. Nice mountain view, hot water, beautiful common areas. Have parking nearby.There wasn't easy to find someone around the hotel, but if you did. They were smiley and helpful. The room I stayed at needed a bit of TLC, chipped floor, the shower door didn't properly opened and there must be a better way to avoid people taking the remote with them other than the solution they got . I could ignore that because all together it is a nice establishment BUT if like me you enjoy a good night sleep maybe it is not the place for you, as every night during my stay I was awakened by the loud banging of the doors of people coming back at 12, 1, 2 or 3am, their chatting on the corridor or even in their rooms. I turned on the fan (even if it wasn't hot) it helped with the chatting noise but not with the banging doors. Maybe that would be the only reason I wouldn't come back.

My wife and I have stayed at Buena Vista twice: in July 2021 and in February/March 2022. On each occasion, we stayed for several days. It's a 5 minute walk from a cluster of Boquete's best restaurants. To me, "best" implies great food at reasonable prices. Roughly half the rooms have superb views of the town, and the other half have gorgeous, green mountain views. Owned and operated by a friendly young couple (Kristhian is Panamanian and Elizabeth is American) they took care to offer some nice touches. The rooms are immaculate. One of the rooms (the studio) has its own kitchen. Otherwise, there's a superbly clean shared kitchen on the second floor, and they offer laundry services. We appreciated that the other guests were respectful to the extent that the kitchen was kept clean. The entire top floor is a lovely hang-out area. It has comfortable, high quality lounge chairs and a table from which you could eat. The outer deck is massive, and it also includes tables from which to eat. I used the outer deck to exercise every morning, surrounded by chirping birds and the gorgeous views of the mountains and the town. It would be amazing for yoga or morning meditation. This hotel does not attract a party clientele. We mingled with young, respectful backpackers and families (from Panama and beyond). Our room had a large bed and a bunkbed for children. I think most (if not all) of the rooms had the same. WiFi was very good throughout the hotel. If you're looking for something with a great view that's chill, clean, close to everything in town and has a cool vibe, Buena Vista is the place.
