Barry & Jane the BOQUETE HOTEL owner-operators

Our style ...

We have established an outstanding reputation internationally and in Panama. Hard work earned that reputation and we work to keep it. A tremendous amount of our business is generated through word-of-mouth referrals and repeat visits from a loyal clientele.

We cater to couples seeking privacy, quality, comfort, personalized attention and excellent food. We promise what we can deliver and deliver what we promise. There are no unpleasant surprises.

We deliberately designed and constructed for privacy and are not oriented to groups or travellers with younger children. Visitor access to our inn is controlled to protect the privacy and security of our registered guests and the tranquil setting. We suggest that potential guests expecting to entertain outside friends or family look for another place to stay where they can all be together.

Our guests are travellers who participate in their trip planning. We provide you with the contacts and assistance to help you do it your way. Over the past 12 years, we have established a network of reputable and independent service providers inside the country. Since we neither pay nor accept commissions from third parties, we pass on our best rate to our clients. As travellers, we are interested in tourism. We do not promote real estate offerings or real estate agents.

Our Inn, situated on a six acre coffee estate, accommodates a maximum of seven registered guests. There is no equivalent anywhere in Panama. We offer a memorable experience at an affordable price to a limited number of guests. In the tradition of innkeeping, we personally take care of you.

If our style strikes a cord, we look forward to having you stay,
Jane and Barry


How we came to be here ...

It all started in the late 80's when we first discovered the wonders of Costa Rica on one of our escape-the-rat-race jaunts and became hooked on Central America. At 45 and 46 years of age and after 27 years of working in Information Technology, we simply pulled the plug and went exploring. After a year and a half of travel, we settled in Boquete, Panama in 1996. You know when you have found your place; the Boquete valley just felt right. In addition to the natural beauty, we liked the look and feel of this genuinely agricultural town. We bought a gorgeous-view coffee and orange farm with a large stand of forest and built the guest bungalows, our home and began landscaping our beautiful gardens and trail system. In December, 1996, we inaugurated La Montaña y el Valle - The Coffee Estate Inn, the first luxury inn in the area. We have been in operation for ten years and have created our own little bit of paradise that we enjoy sharing with Panamanians and international travellers.
