Unbelievably beautiful, clean, and cheap - definitely a million times better than Mamallena, which we stayed it at our first 3 nights in Boquete. Then we found Refugio and never wanted to leave. Private room and bath with wifi, tv, great communal kitchen, beautiful outdoor seating and common areas for ~$27/night. The staff is very helpful and nice, the place... More

after a booking mix up on our first night, we stayed in one of the private room by the stream. It looked quite new and was very good value for money. Great spacious shared kitchen -cooking helped to save a bit of money.

The hotel was a really good catch. The price was really valuable and they have a beautiful garden and you can walk to all the important places in town. They have a good kitchen and even providing cheap food in the hostal. Also they offer laundry service for just a few dollars. One negative point was that they didnt clean... More

I stayed in one of the private rooms and you can hear the sound of the creek all day and night long - very relaxing. Great bathroom with rain shower. Good common areas. Try the Panamanian breakfast at Nelvis.

Good wifi in the dining room... More
