We loved the property, especially the staff was so friendly, and helpful in every way. We just had a barking dog in the neighborhood kept us awake a bit, but that's not the hotel's fault.The bed was not very comfortable for my liking.

Friendly staff, great communication. We were there during the flower festival and very loud music from the town played until 4am the first night. The next night the music didn't go on past midnight. Then the next 2 nights it was quiet. I guess the loud nights are Thursday, Friday, Saturday and especially during flower festival. The room was okay, but felt more like a hostal. They have casitas but we were in a room. It's like a house with entry, common sitting area, kitchen and our room was right next to all of that so we heard everything in the house. The staff are in the main part of the house from about 8am-6pm so we saw and heard them during that time. They require shoes off so needed to carry shoes outside before putting them on.

The casita was lovely and quite comfortable. We had a couple of minor issues like a light bulb out. It was replaced very quickly. The staff is excellent no matter who is on duty. They could answer all questions, responded quickly if we needed something, contacted a very good, safe taxi driver for us. They made our stay very pleasant. We will return and stay here.

The views from the outdoor (shared) terrace was absolutely stunning. We had it to ourselves each time we sat out there. We loved the location- it was 3 blocks off the main street in Boquette, so it was quiet and peaceful, but still very walkable to everything in town. The staff was wonderful, especially Abdul. He helped us with anything we needed. He even arranged for a cab to pick us up for an early flight on a Sunday. We cant wait to return for another stay!

The staff gets 5 stars while the room quality and the deceiving and inaccurate description of the room gets 1 star: average of 3. When we checked in at 3pm the floor was dirty and cleaned in front of us. The bathroom looked dingy but we were told those were hard water stains. Kudos to the photographer who took pictures of the room! Deception at its best! The pics fail to show the wet bar in the honeymoon suite, which is not only an useless eyesore but also utterly disgusting as that sink was not cleaned in ages. The view is beautiful indeed, but a pic closer to the window would also show the roofs of the town not just the beautiful tree tops. The flooring is not beautiful and shining, but spotted, squeaking, and with holes between planks. The bathroom sink is stained and chipped. The bed is described online as having Tempur-Pedic mattress and Egyptian cotton sheets: this is what ticked the most as both are bogus. The mattress is a standard box spring that has passed its prime. The sheets are low count thin cotton. Similar to other reviewers, is the thing about paying for towels that you stain: you stain a towel, you must pay for a whole set. Coffee, fridge, and a fully equipped kitchen are available downstairs in the common area. Whatever you use, you must wash & put away Room service is available upon request only. Laundry services are available on the premises: $7.5 small load & $15 larger load. The staff was very nice and helpful!

Amazing Casita
I was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of my stay in Casita 3. The casita is a modern open plan studio apartment. The room itself was spacious and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The comfortable king-size bed, smart TV, closet, and fully equipped kitchenette were all great amenities that added to the overall feeling of luxury and comfort. The private bathroom was also well-appointed and provided all the necessary amenities. One of the highlights of my stay was the spectacular views from the terrace balcony. The sunny terrace overlooked the splendid Boquete valley and provided breathtaking panoramic views that were truly unforgettable. It was the perfect spot to relax and take in the stunning scenery. The hotel staff was friendly and accommodating. They went out of their way to ensure that my stay was as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Overall, I would highly recommend Casita 3 to anyone looking for a spacious, comfortable, and well-appointed accommodation in the Boquete area. The spectacular views from the terrace balcony, unique touches in the room, and the friendly and accommodating hotel staff all make this cabin a standout choice for anyone looking for a memorable stay in Boquete.

Perfect getaway
We really enjoyed our stay in the Honeymoon suite. (A quick vacay without the kids). The back balcony was home to many hummingbirds. We were greeted by full double rainbow over the property. The room was super comfortable and clean. Perfect little kitchen. They gave us slippers and robes to use as well. It was a short walk to town. We happened to accidentally be there for the yearly Boquete Flores Festival and that was such a special treat. We also walked a 1km up the hill to the Adventure park area that had beautiful views along the way. We highly recommend this location. We frequently come to Boquete for Costa Rica border runs, and we would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful villa, with full-time staff. Everything is within walking distance, especially the central bus area, and the kitchen is well-equipped. We had some issues with hot water, but we learned on our final day that it's because you're only supposed to turn the water on a tiny bit. (Speak to the staff and they'll be able to fix it for you!) I would stay there again if I'm in Boquete.

The ladies running this establishment need a well deserved pay raise please, Genesis, Carmen, Alexandria are some of the nicest people we have ever encountered, and we have taken cruises and visited quite a few countries on vacation. Theses ladies definitely understand what providing exceptional service means for a business, especially in tourism where customer satisfaction is imperative. This was our first visit to Boquete, and we’ll certainly be back!!!! Thanks again team FABULOUS

Charming with a delightful view
We had a wonderful time. The villa was very clean and the staff friendly and very helpful. The shared kitchen and lounge was a great way to interract with the other guests in an intimate setting while still having our privacy. The room was as described with a glorious view. The location was convenient being a very short walk (5 mins) to town.

The property only had hot water in the shower, the bathroom sink water was cold and ran at a trickle with it fully on—very difficult to wash your face or shave. We stayed for 6-days and they NEVER emptied the trash cans. I requested clean towels after 3-days and they wanted us to pay to replace a face towel because it had make-up on it.

Great
The communication with Alejandro and his team was fabulous, very accomodating and helpful. We asked for a contact to pick us up at David airport and got a private driver, Ivan, who was on time, helpful and exactly in the price range Alejandro suggested, without having to bargain. Through Alejandro's great links, we signed up for a hike and bird watching with Jason Lara tours. There are not enough words to describe how WONDERFUL it was. Jason was sooo knowledgeable. Highly recommend to tour with Jason Lara

We were in a very nice cottage with a fully-equipped kitchen including a gas stove. Not much of a yard if you have young kids, but room to park our car out front off of the road. We really appreciated the staff’s adherence to mask-wearing, which cannot be counted on in Boquete. They sent us a lot of useful information about things to do in Boquete.

Nice room. Nice gardens and terrace. We really enjoyed our stay until the day we were leaving. There was apparently a misunderstanding with the owner, who is quite the control freak, and rather than pull us aside to deal with the situation, he chose to call out, and embarrass my girlfriend. This was about wearing masks in the kitchen. No one else had them on at that time either, nor had anyone worn them in the kitchen the few days we were there, including the owner, so we still aren't sure why he picked her out and publicly belittled her in front of others. Lastly, when you first stay there, you are subjected to a 1 1/2 hour orientation. In it, there was nothing said about wearing the masks in the kitchen. We're vaxed, our temp was measured coming and going, as were everyone else, and no one was exhibiting any symptoms. It's too bad that he chose to put a damper on what had been a wonderful stay. All he had to do was apologize for the way he handled it, but he was adamant that we were in the wrong. So, what ever you do, don't question him when he decides to yell at you about something. He's not wrong, ever.

Enjoyable experience - short walk to downtown.
Alex moved here from Germany and renovated a house at the end of a quiet residential street then added three casitas to provide an enjoyable place for travelers who want to be away from the city noise but want to be able to walk into town easily (literally four blocks to the main road). The property is beautifully landscaped with outstanding views of the mountains and the downtown area. A very friendly cat has adopted the location too. Inside the main house, there is a community kitchen and meeting area while the individual rooms have queen beds, tv, wi-fi and bathrooms. There's a large outdoor deck for sunbathing or brunching. I did not rent a casita but I believe they have full amenities. You're asked to remove your shoes upon entering. The property introduction (complete with forms and health requirements) seemed rather long but I'm sure some find it useful. Each unit can be individually locked. I felt entirely safe. Overall, it was an enjoyable one night experience for good value and I think most customers will agree. You won't even need a taxi. Everything you'd want in Boquete (restaurants, groceries, pharmacy, clothing stores, health clinics) is less than 10 blocks away but you'll be sleeping in a quiet home. For singles, couples and small families, this an excellent option for your stay in Boquete.
