Villa Alejandro | Villa in Boquete, Chiriqui

“Checkin was difficult and everyone seemed to be having the same problem and would take between 30 minutes and 2 hours depending on the guest”

“Room was in good condition but the internet was out the entire 4 nights we were there”

“Property was very clean and in a great location. Room was very small and very limited towel use as there were only two and they weren’t replaced daily nor did they dry out in the humidity. ”

“Great little spot with nice atmosphere. Walking distance to town. Great staff. The kitchen is shared, which worked well for us. The check-in process is virtual, which was different for me. Once I set up WhatsApp on my mobile device, it was easy. The virtual staff was very responsive. Lots of guidance was given on using the Villa facilities and local attractions and dining. ”

“Great location, great room and very responsive hotel.”

“Nice room. ”

“Nice facility. Seems no one wanted to cook, including us. It is in town and can be noisy on the weekends. Staff was very accommodating to our requests. You can leave your luggage in the lobby if you get there too early for check in or too late for check out; it’s not secured so you might want to bring a lock. Fortunately, wasn’t an issue. Boquete is humid. There may have been a little mold in the bathroom. I wasn’t going to look that closely. There’s a little bit of a hill to climb to get there. Very close to shops, restaurants, river, park, etc.”

“The WhatsApp front desk was very responsive to any questions and we appreciated the way they communcated. The room in this old house was huge! The bed was comfortable. The thing that bothered me was that most of the floorboards of the hardwood floor were loose. This meant every step was very loud. It was not pleasant when getting up in the middle of the night. I felt bad for other guests in the building. ”

“The room was in very good condition and the Villa is very nice. The grounds are lovely. Our room though was so small my husband and I hard a hard time maneuvering around each other and our luggage in the room. Also, the bed had a little hump in the middle so I felt like I was rolling off the bed at night. The bathroom also is so small even a petite person like me had to sit almost sideways so my knees weren’t knocking into the wall in front of the toilet. Check-in was also a little cumbersome being all digital. However, for 1 person, especially a petite person, the room would probably be fine. And I’m sure there are much larger rooms and suites that we would have preferred at the Villa.”

“They gave me one of two rooms that were upstairs. I was under the impression that the rooms at this location were studio rooms in cabins where a beautiful garden was outside your door. I was completely taken a back by the room given to me as it was up steep, slick ceramic stairs. I would not have booked at this location had I known that. I have a bad knee and the hills in Boquete I knew would be a challenge I was willing to take, just didn’t want a stair challenge to go with it. My room had a balcony with a Mountain View but pretty much everywhere in Boquete has a Mountain View. My balcony was right over the little parking area and had a street light that illuminated the room at night. It did not come equipped with blackout curtains or even a dark curtain. White curtains that allowed the light to come in. Could have been solved with a sleeping mask which I accidentally left at home on my nightstand. The room itself was clean and well appointed with hot water. The bed was comfortable. No faults whatsoever. Be aware that the check in is completely on line, and a little bit of a pain for the tech challenged. Typing everything on my small iPhone took a lot of time. And nobody around to help me get my luggage upstairs and I hurt my back the first official day of vacation in 28 years. No fault with the location as it is a couple blocks from Boquete town. The staff was lovely and helpful even with the language barrier which I do not have issues with. ”
