Seven garden cabanas and breakfast with the birds, near Boquete town

About Boquete Garden Inn

Boquete Garden Inn is a 13-room garden hotel in Palo Alto, a two-minute drive from the center of Boquete. Rooms sit in seven cabanas, each with a private terrace and kitchen facilities. Highlights: a three-course breakfast among wild birds, with 100+ species recorded, and a garden jacuzzi. The closest airport is David (DAV); renting a car is advised.

Boquete Garden Inn is a small hotel in Palo Alto, in the Chiriquí highlands. Thirteen rooms are spread across seven cabanas set among the gardens, and in most cabanas one room is downstairs and another upstairs. Every room has its own terrace, a dining area and cooking facilities, from a kitchenette to a full kitchen, so the layout feels closer to a small apartment than a standard hotel room. The center of Boquete is a two-minute drive away.

Breakfast is the inn's signature. Each morning from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. a three-course hot meal is served on the office patio, with the garden birds coming and going around the tables. More than 100 bird species have been seen on the grounds. At night, a social hour runs from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Bar Diablicos, which displays handmade diablicos masks first made for Carnival in Las Tablas.

There is no restaurant, so dinner means a short trip into town, and the front desk will point you to places to eat. The team also arranges coffee tours, hanging bridges, rafting and hikes, and the garden jacuzzi is there for the end of a long day. Renting a car gives you the most freedom around the valley.
