arrived late and jose was very very accomodating. he tried to help us get in to town but on 23rd december there weren't many free taxis. in the end he helped us order chinese 'take out' from nearby. the outer areas are absolutely charming with so much wonderful art work and collectables that Jose has collected over decades. the birds are a nice touch. There is a very convenient grocery store just across the highway which saved us wherein having breakfast was concerned, as it wasn't offered. the next morning, transportation to Boquete was also 'spotty' and not cheap ($4) so w/o a car, this wasn't an option for our second night in the area. In order to have the King bed we were upstairs, requiring negotiating steps at night. There is, however, a queen on the bathroom level. The sheets should probably be replaced w/ ones that weren't 'pilled' , as this is the first i've encountered some that were scratchy because of this. If i had a family and a car, and wanted to cook at the premise, this would have been a lovely place for several days.

I started my stay in Cabanas Villa San Miguel on July 28 and within 2 days I had a medical emergency. Jose (the proprietor) called for transportation and acted as an interpreter to help me get medical care. Jose has treated me like family throughout our stay. The grounds are beautiful with pieces from many different countries. We picked a lime off one of his trees and used to flavor the water. In sum, Jose was an amazing host and I would definitely stay here again

This is a beautiful, peaceful place. Tastefully decorated with beautiful gardens. We checked out the rooms but basically went for lunch. The food is fantastic! The owner is so gracious and friendly. This is a must if you are going to visit Boquete. We have lived in this area for 15 years and am so glad we stopped!

Despite being hidden away in quiet corner of Boquete, these villas are close to everything. They are brand new, very clean, and - best of all - filled with beautiful antiques which give them a super classy feel.
The grounds are filled with a profusion of flowers: it was pure pleasure to sit in the villa’s outside terrazas surrounded by the beauty.
Jose is a warm, typically Panamanian host. He speaks both English and Spanish and has had a great deal of experience dealing with the public . You will certainly enjoy your stay at his villas

We stayed one month in the 'asian' cabana and had a wonderful holiday feeling because of the quiet beautiful surroundings with lots of flowers, birds, hammocks and especially the 2 parrots who welcome the guests (if they're in the right "Hola" mood :-)) Our host José was the best with his warm and friendly way of making you feel comfortable, giving you tips of the area, restaurants, trips, helping out with whatever was asked and more. The cabanas are uniquely and tastefully decorated with 3 bedrooms. Up front you can relax while listening to wonderful latin and international music. We are looking forward to the opening of the mexican restaurant and pianobar with tapas, hopefully with some dancing opportunity. Definitely recommended !

Spent a few days at end of May. The place is so peaceful! The environment is just awesome and the service couldn't be better. The cabins are very nicely decorated. An added bonus is that these cabins are very close to town with easy access to transportation or rental if needed.

We stayed for two weeks in one of Jose's Villa's. The villa was spacious, clean and comfortable. The gardens are beautiful and they work very hard on them. The place was quite and had everything we really needed. The villa's are new, and so Jose is still getting the place set up and outfitted. If we needed something, all we had to do was to ask Jose and he would get it for us. He was great that way, very nice to talk to and would provide information on the area. The only reason that we didn't give it a 5 is that Jose was supposed to have wifi throughout the area, which I needed for work, and it wasn't set up by the time we got there. Jose was trying, but had to depend on outside workers to get it done and they didn't. There was wifi, and it worked, but I had to take my Ipad to the hall where the router was located. When this gets done, Jose gets the restaurant and the piano bar done, along with putting a few more kitchen utensils in the units, it will be one of the best places in the area for the money.. We will definitely stay again as we loved it. As two of the bedrooms are upstairs, my wife would have loved a second bathroom up, but that can't be done and we got along without it. The furnishings are very nice and many are antiques. Jose also has a couple of beautiful tropical birds that hang out around the units.

We arrived around 9 p.m. because it was a long drive from Panama City. As soon as I walked into the lobby, a man was standing there with a frown on his face. I told him I was there to check in. He said my first name and told me that he was expecting me all day and had no phone number to contact me. I honestly felt like a teenager who had walked in past their curfew and was being scolded by their parent. He was not friendly at all. He walked us to our room and then he disappeared. He headed into town to grab dinner and got back around 11:30. Anytime I stay in a hotel, I check all the beds to make sure they're clean. We found hair in one of the beds. The sheets smelled bad, like they had not washed. Several of the sheets had old stains on them. The duvet covers were dirty. The floors looked like they had not been swept. The coffee maker was disgusting. The mini fridge was old and rusted. The frying pan handle was broken and greasy. We were completely disgusted, but there was no phone in the room to contact anyone to bring us clean sheets. The lobby was completely dark. We had no choice but to go to sleep and deal with it in the morning. I forgot to mention that when we had first arrived, he asked me why I had 2 extra people, that I had only booked for 4 adults. I had told him that those were my kids, and I didn't think there was an issue because there were 4 beds (1 which was listed as a bunk bed.) He told me that I would have to pay an additional fee for them. But he told me to do it in the morning. So I headed to front desk to pay my additional fees in the morning and to ask for the room to be clean while we were out for breakfast. I asked him for a senior discount since the other 2 adults were my mother and aunt. He said they don't do those there (even though my aunt had said that it's a federal law). But I wasn't there to argue, so I payed the extra $80 for my 2 kids. Then when I brought up the cleanliness of the room, he completely denied it and basically called me a liar. He said that the rooms are cleaned every day, and that I had one of the best rooms. I told him that I could go show him, and he said to show him. He abruptly walked over, telling me to hurry up because he was pressed on time. When we showed him he denied it and kept saying that it was all very cleaned. He had the maid follow us in to back him up. When my mother showed him the broken handle on the frying pan, he kept asking what was wrong with it, when my mother couldn't even hold the pan straight because the handle kept twisting. I proceeded upstairs to show the maid the duvets and asked her if they ever wash the duvets. She admitted to me that they never wash the duvets. I was appalled. I then went back downstairs and noticed how rude that man was treating my mother that I decided to leave. When I told him that we did not have to put up with that, he sarcastically said that where could we go find a nice hotel like his for that price. I told him that they were plenty of other hotels in Boquete. We grabbed our stuff and walked out. As we were leaving, he said to us, "I would like to see how clean your house is." My son told him that cleaner than this. I told that man that I have never in my life ever been treated like that and that he needs to learn some customer service. He said that that's the best customer service there is. We left and booked somewhere else.

Absolutely loved staying here, you think that you're in a 200 year old hacienda but it's not. The construction, finish and decorating and very "Spanish traditional" with lots of antiques. The flowers and gardens are abundant and beautiful. Beware of Pepe the parrot as he'll try to steal your wife/girlfriend and then he'll try to bite you (lol). Jose the owner is very nice , friendly and always quick to help. We stayed here for ten nights in February and loved it. There are three bedrooms but only one bathroom per unit. It could stand a few more kitchen utensils for those that wnat to cook their own meals. There's a small grocery store directly across the street and a couple of decent restaruants within a 15-20 minute walk. It'll cost you between 60 cents and a dollar for a cab ride into downtown Boquete and cabs or buses are easy to get.
