Hotel Isla Verde

The place was wonderful. Had everything we needed and listening to the creek out the bathroom and balcony was heavenly. We bought food and made breakfast so did not try the breakfast there. It was nice having the restaurant next door when it rained but everything downtown was within walking distance.

We stayed here in January 2024. We are an older couple and this place was perfect for us. Spectacular grounds and very quiet. Yet only 5 or so minutes walk to the center of town. The coffee shop on the grounds, newly open by a Belgian couple, was an unexpected surprise. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. An ideal place to stay in boquete.

My stay at Isla Verde was very special, everything in this place was amazing from the staff who work there, the rooms and how they designed, and the location. I still remember the guy who made our delicious breakfast and served to us with love. Thanks to Isla Hotel, definitely will choose same place to stay for the next visit to Boquete.

Awful service, it’s supposed to be a hotel but it’s actually a hostel as you are supposed to do most of the cleaning even though you are charged a cleaning fee. We had to wash most of the dishes because they had leftover food stuck to them, the beds were hard and small and the pillows were like little bricks, the fridge was warm and leaking water. No wonder it was the only “hotel” available. The only good thing about this “hotel” were the two cats and Jose Manuel, the girl with the glasses should consider doing something else, she is extremely rude and TERRIBLE at customer service. We had an issue and we were discussing it with Jose Manuel because she was escalating the whole thing with her snarky comments and know-it-all attitude and as soon as we crossed the door she insulted us, we went back and told her off because that is truly unacceptable and you can tell that she only cares about a certain type of people. I would much rather sleep on a wooden board floating in the middle of the Caldera river than coming back to this place!

Location was great. Cats that greeted us great. Afternnon Staff didn't help us with bags and seemed disengaged. Morning staff nicer and more helpful. Room was ok, beds were hard. Room's Location great next to a stream. Grounds had wonderful vegetation. Down side of all that green was the snake on the path to our room. Location to downtown was great. Overall would say a great place to stay for younger crowd.

Beautiful boutique property in downtown (Bajo) Boquete. Charming, individual casitas, each with kitchenette, nestled in a private botanical garden. Just a 5-minute walk from downtown Boquete. Coffee shop and top rated restaurant located right on property.

Isla Verde is a complex of bungalow type structures of carousing sizes. The large bungalow was spacious and nice. It had a sitting area and a little kitchenette which was quite convenient. The property is also conveniently located a short walk from town where there’s restaurants and shopping. It has a good Wi-Fi signal.|And now for the quirks:|- reception area staff work limited hours and there’s no one to help during other hours|- breakfast is extra and not served before 8|- hot water in the room tends to run out and you need to wait for it to reappear|- limited maid service - the emptied out trash but didn’t make our beds|Bottom line - we enjoyed our stay but this is not a traditional full service hotel like some might expect.

Isla Verde is most likely my #1 hotel after 20 days around Panama. Boquete has the best climate in the country: 1000 meters elevation, breeze, and the most beautiful fauna. The lodge is gorgeous, spacious in the middle of a manicured tropical garden along a fresh mountain stream. I can't stop raving about this place, so do NOT hesitate to reserve your stay at Isla Verde.
