Great location with very friendly people! Amazing view on the vulcano Just outside Boquete but with a taxi you are in the city centre quite quickly. The juccuzi is really great and the beautiful garden with so many flowers, we really loved it to stay here

“Stunning gardens and comfortable room.”
This is such a beautiful spot, the gardens and flowers are exceptional and the small pool and jacuzzi are really nice. You have great views from the terrace and breakfast is brilliant with lots of choice.

“Just loved it!”
We loved the beautiful garden, it is amazing! The pool/jacuzzi after a day out was so good, with view to the Baru volcano and the river beside, and we used it several times. Clean rooms with what you need. Breakfast was very good, and ind the evening you’ll find a couple of restaurants in walking distance, otherwise a walk to town takes 30-40 min and there is lot’s of good restaurants! Taxi to town is very cheap, we paid 4-5 usd one way. The owners was great people, and lovely staff! Will definitely recommend The Inn At Palo Alto!

“Would highly recommend.”
The breakfast was excellent with lots of variety. The staff was extremely helpful with arranging taxis, tour and restaurant bookings. The hotel itself is small, intimate, beautiful gardens and pool area.

“perfect place in Boquete”
We enjoyed our stay in this very nice hotel a lot! We - 2 parents plus 5 grown up kids - had a family suite incl. kitchen. The service was perfect as the team from the first contact took care for all our needs incl. advice and booking of all our tours / adventures. We enjoyed the hot tub and swimming pool. The breakfast buffet was the best on our tour through Panama!

At point the hotel does feel somewhat outdated. This is compensated however by the great staff and exceptional view. Staff was helpful in every way, very kind and superb breakfast

“Lovely garden and jacuzzi for a pleasant stay”
Beautiful garden with hummingbirds and flowers next to a small river and some decent mountain views. The jacuzzi is the heart of the Hotel. The swimming pool is not heated. Decent rooms with big tv with apps (i.e youtube) and good beds. The breakfast in the morning facing the river is lovely and varied. I used the gym that is really convenient if you want to work out during your stay, plus with views. They helped me organise transport to Bocas del Toro, 8 am just after breakfast, for 30 usd, cheaper than in the internet.

“the best choice in Boquete”
A great place to relax after a day on the trail. The view is beautiful, and we loved the peaceful garden – especially the hummingbird feeders, such a lovely detail! The staff were super friendly, and the breakfast was delicious. We’re absolutely recommend it to anyone.

“Perfect stay”
Where do I even start. We had read all the promising reviews before we came here. They have nice (free) parking spaces in front of the hotel. The gate opens up to the most beautiful garden with so much plants, flowers and (humming)birds. All the staff are super friendly and always smiling. The spacious room was spot clean and smelled so nice every time we entered the room. Every morning there was a small, but delicious and very fresh breakfast buffet. After our hikes we would relax in the hot tub, which overlooks the river. We would definitely recommend this hotel and are a little sad to leave this place…

“Quite, clean and comfortable hotel with fantastic staff who make the stay enjoyable.”
The setting is great with wonderful gardens and set just outside of the main town, so quiet. The staf were fantastic and helped with booking activities and gave great advice on resturants. Marcelo's advice to try George's House Resturant was great, an experience that we really enjoyed. Breakfast was excellent and a good start to the day.

The setting is wonderful-10 minutes drive from town in the hills, surrounded by coffee plantations and a view of the volcano. The gardens are a delight and attract humming birds, butterflies and other birds. Lovely breakfast-fresh fruit, eggs to order. We got taxis to town as we didn't have a car, but found tours were happy to pick us up from the hotel. The staff really went the extra mile in setting us up with a local restaurant when we arrived late, offering a lift if they were going into town and when my husband was ill, sorting us out with a take away meal to be delivered. Very highly recommended!
