What a great time we had with Cynthia and her attentive staff. We enjoyed one of the Mango rooms, staying on Isla Taboga for 3 nights. Our room was nice size with a private bathroom with a big shower and hot water - don't take these things for granted on an island. I would like to mention here that this... More

If it weren't for the efforts of the staff, this place would have rated but a single star. And while the small staff tried hard to please, it was apparent they weren't given any direction by what I would loosely describe as "management". I had originally chosen the Cerrito because (a) it received the #1 ranking (of 2) and (b)... More

We only spent a day on the island but enjoyed a wonderful lunch at the B & B. It was very relaxing - great food and amazing views. The owner (Cynthia) was there as well and we had a great visit. Taboga is a lovely island - fun to walk around - beautiful flowers and a great beach.We took the... More

We stayed at the Hotel Cerrito in August 2012. Making the reservation was simple and communication was excellent. We booked the mid level room because the description described the room as having on demand hot water. When we arrived at the island we were greeted at the dock by a Cerrito employee. He had arranged for a "taxi" to take... More

Thank you so much for your nice review. Its true that many people coming to the tropical islands like Taboga do not expect hot water, however we do have an on demand hot water system. The gas tank was being changed which is why it did not work when you first arrived. This is an environmentally friendly system as it... More

My husband and I just spent a wonderful day at Cerrito Tropical. It was my birthday and it was truly a marvelous place to spend a special day. The rooms were clean and comfortable; the staff, friendly and inviting; the food is the best on the island. We also met other interesting travelers from different parts of the world so... More

We stayed in early July at Cerrito after researching a place to fish. Taboga quickly came up as a fishing town and we arranged with Cynthia, who was great at answering emails, a trip with a local fisherman. The boat ride to the island is nice but you have to purchase your return ticket at the same time. The island... More

Thank you so much for your review and for choosing us! We try to be proactive with our guests. We wish you had mentioned the hot water because you were in a room with hot water, we could have checked on it. We have an on demand system and sometimes it requires a simple adjustment. We have a map in... More

I went to Taboga on a day trip with a group of 18 retirees. The beach is on the right side of the ferry terminal and Cerrito Tropical is on the left side of the terminal when you get off the boat. Although we did not stay in Cerrito Tropical but we pre-arranged lunch there with the owner. Someone from... More

We went to Toboga not knowing what to expect. We had read online a lot of pages about the Island before we went. When we arrived, Cynthia had arragned transportation for us from the airport to the Ferry, which was very kind of her to do. We had no preconceived idea of what to expect in Panama. We got to...
