    Love the location, the environment, the cabins are just perfect, all new and clean. Gardens, pool, terrace, fire place all well planned and well made. Me and my family really enjoyed the staying here and surelly we will come back. The restaurant is a great option for breakfast and dinner. Portions are big, the prices are more than affordable, meals are delicious. Staff is friendy and attentive.100% recommended!

    The only thing I wish is that the hobbit house had air conditioning or a bigger/stronger fan. I think most people would be fine, I just happen to run hot ;-)

    We stayed in the hobbit house and it was so cute with a lovely view and the privacy of a little porch. The room and bathroom were bigger than I expected. It was so so cute! The restaurant had great views and a lovely breeze. The staff was amazing! The front desk reception helped us many times and they helped with a smile! The rooms were cleaned everyday and we were given fresh towels which was so nice! There was laundry service which saved my life! I would definitely stay again and highly recommend!

    The little Hobbit home huts were amazing, so was the location, on a small hill, overlooking a dark green coffee plantation. We really loved the view from the terrace. Also, there were fish swimming around in the castle moat, which was fun.

    We love to walk, so we walked the 2.4 miles each way to town every day, even though the trip back gains several hundred feet in elevation. Perhaps they could offer a twice a day shuttle to Boquete.

    The view is stunning, the staff are adorable and kind and helpful. Just very sweet people. The room was more like a cabin which was spacious, well equipped, quiet and comfortable. The pool was cool but usable, the Jacuzzi was great after a full day of activities and walking. The restaurant/bar was clean, the food and drink was just fine. The coffee was amazing. The grounds are pleasant and easy to walk.

    Just be aware that it is not located in the center of the town, so when in town make sure to do everything you need (groceries, ATM, restaurants etc..) before going up to the castle (the taxi is 4/5$ each way)

    The castle is absolutely gorgeous and has all the amenities for you to enjoy your stay : a nice pool, a hot jacuzzi, a shared kitchen to prepare your food. The staff is nice and helpful as they helped organized tours and shuttle The room was cleaned and bathroom too.

    Once in Boquete it is a better choice to stay up the hill than in town , in my humble opinion
    • Leisure trip

    • Triple Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Noisy people in adjacent room as the walls are not sound proof enough

    In general I liked it. Quiet with a nice view although they had some construction going on it was ok for us as the hours of works were non disturbing.It is a cosy place , remote location from the Boquete town but easy to order a taxi ( sometimes they charge for a ride 4$ sometimes 6$.I think it is a walking distance to town as well. It is nice to have a breakfast at the balcony with a view. The triple room was basic ( but this is what I expected) but with comfy beds. Few things needs maintenance in a bathroom- robinet , leaking toilet flush. Overall It was a good choice for us for 3 days to explore Boquete surroundings. I like also the common kitchen located at the swimming pool level. I am addicted to evening herbal tea, so I could prepare it myself. Also a plus when you travel with kids, it is convenient to prepare sth. outside of restaurant hours.

    The bunk beds in the dorms are horrible - they make a Lot of noise and dont seem very stable in General. No curtains. Kitchen is okey but could be cleaner and better equipped Way to town is a bit far - be equipped with groceries or prepared to pay the cab/walk around 45 minutes

    Pool and especially the jacuzzi are a nice addition View from the balcony is nice Showers have hot water Its a freaking Castle :D

    The location of the castle is a bit of remote, so if you don't have a car, you need taxi each time.

    Good food, big and clean room, nice staff, great view to the valley and Vulcan Baru.

    Jacuzzi overlooking kitchen where people cook food gives a bit of a strange feeling. Adding a light wall between the two may help.

    They have the best knowledge about the tours. For example, Indian Vieja, or Baru volcano - can get a bus for $9 to hike start, or a jeep all the way to the top, for $125.
