Hotel Isla Verde

We spent three nights at Isla Verde in Mariposa, an upper suite. It was beautiful, and so hard to leave when our stay was over. The suite itself was great, kind of like a big studio apartment with windows everywhere. There was a small kitchen with a fridge, an oven, and a coffee maker, and a nice dining table to sit at. The bathroom was pristine. The bed was comfortable. There was a fan but no AC, but it got very cool at night and we didn't even need the fan. We had a porch in the front of the suite and a beautiful balcony off the back that overlooked the gardens and the little river that goes through the property. We spent hours on the balcony with a cool drink, just listening to the river, enjoying the gardens, and watching the birds. What is amazing is that Isla Verde is very close to town (only a couple of blocks to the main drag) but you would never know it. The river blocks any street noise, which is minimal in Boquete anyway. The staff were great, and Sabine was very helpful and friendly. We had a hard time figuring out how to book our domestic flights online, so she booked them for us (even though we asked her very last-minute!) at no charge. She also gave us some good directions and information on things to do in the area. We never had breakfast at Isla Verde, so I can't comment on that. We ate at Cafe Punto de Encuentro, which was great. Boquete is great and I highly recommend Isla Verde!

After one month in Bocas del Toro, we needed a change in scenery. We opted for a trip to the mountains for a different Panamanian experience. Isla Verde consists of a number of distinctly different "roundhouses" scattered over a beautifully landscaped property that is centrally located in Boquete. Our hostesses, Patricia and Ulrike, were gracious and welcoming. Patricia went out of her way to explain all the offerings and conveniences available . There is a spa on site, as well as beautiful plantings and statuary. Mango, the onside restaurant, was superlative. Service was impeccable and the food was beyond delicious! The property is very centrally located. So, no car is required and a taxi would only be needed if you wanted to go further afield. The property is close to a number of adventure excursion outlets....literally around the corner. So, if you wanted to visit Volcan Baru, or do a trek or zip line tour you merely need to walk down the street . Besides, Patricia or Ulrike will gladly assist you in planning whatever excursion you desired. Great stay!

A great hotel in Boquete Panama that should be on everyone's radar. It is called Isla Verde. The place is owned by a German couple and they have done a wonderful job making a safe and beautiful place to visit. The hotel is within easy walking distance of the main street in Boquete. The grounds are a beautiful Tropical Paradise with a small creek running through the property. The Roundhouses are very nice and well equipped for a couple or a small group of friends at very reasonable prices. Each roundhouse has a kitchenette, private bath, loft and main floor. TV with cable is in each room as well. The rooms are very private and have thier own entrances. You can opt for breakfast in the morning but this was the weak part of thier operation and we would recomend the coffee bar around the corner. There are two dogs that live here that love to play fetch with the oranges that fall from the trees. They will give you a good laugh for sure and are well cared for. Here is the link [--] Highly recomended.

Isla Verde is situated very close to town, a 5 minute walk, and offers cute little self contained cabins for the stay. The cabins have little kitchens so you can cook if need be. The beautiful grounds and breathtaking views make this place what it is. The breakfasts are a little pricey, but the food is quite good. We did find the staff (owners kids) a little difficult, but it didn't taint our stay at all. I fully recommend Isla Verde to anyone looking for a very relaxing location that is close to the little town & restaurants!

Best of Boquete Clean, new and very well maintained property. Great location to walk to restaurants and attractions in Boquete.

Nice property with helpful staff.
