I enjoyed sitting on the back patio taking in the beautiful view. The walk from Villa Alejandro was a pleasant walk into town—just down the hill. I would definitely stay here again. read less

We booked one night prior to driving to Bocas del Toro and loved it so much we returned for an additional two nights on our way back.
On our first visit we had a cabana then opted for a suite with a hammock on the balcony when we returned. Both were luxuriously comfortable and relaxing.
The kingsize beds were extremely comfy, the kitchens had everything we needed, the sofa in the suite was my cozy spot to have coffee and watch the rain outside our giant second floor window. The bathrooms were large and spotless, the towels were plush and the body wash smelled terrific.
Because of the rain I only got to enjoy the hammock for a brief time but it was lovely none the less. The view and ambiance were serene and rejuvenating from inside as well as outside. The frogs and birds were a pleasant accompaniment to both the rain and the quiet.
And I can't forget the staff. Everyone was extremely friendly, helpful, efficient, and spoke great English.
10/10 I highly recommend Rio Verde! read less

Great communication from all the team before, during and at the end of our stay.
Room was super, lots of space, great views, quiet location, balcony and two luggage racks! At last, a hotel that recognises two travellers need a rack each! read less

I received a heartfelt warm welcome from Emilio. He represented The Residence, Villa Alejandro, very well in a professional capacity & manner, while at the same time greeting with a warm & genuine smile. He provided clear instructions e.g., the sharing of the kitchen, distance to the closest restaurant by foot, The Rock, etc, which was hugely appreciated. Emilio was able to answer all my queries with regards to events in the area & the general. He kindly ordered a taxi on my behalf after recommending a good restaurant & what an excellent choice of restaurant he had made too.
I apologise for not remembering the morning lady who would arrive to clean the property, do laundry & other miscellaneous duties. She too was extremely helpful in any queries I had. I had the pleasure to also encounter Jesus & his female colleague (forgive me for forgetting your name my dear), both assisted in my obtaining takeaway food at night when I was hungry & yes, I really did need their help, they were both wonderful. I would for sure recommend Fatima should one require a massage. Thank you Maria for the delicious coffee served with a warm & friendly smile. I enjoyed our chitchat
In summary, I felt very comfortable, the staff I encountered were all respectful, very polite and a joy to be around. To be honest, to me, I felt like I was with family bearing in mind I had travelled alone!
The internet was easy to connect to & the speed is fast. The kitchen is well equipped & is a full functioning kitchen & was kept clean at all times. To be fair, it does not take much to clean up after one has cooked, to be fair & considerate to others which I had no problems with.
The guests I encountered were wonderful & friendly, I was fortunate to have good talks.
The location of the property, in my view, is located in the right place. It is an easy walk to The Rock, to the right of the Property. Downtown is a great walk, especially when walking off food. I enjoyed the fact I could walk downtown to enjoy the hustle & bustle, but then to return to a quiet & serene establishment away from all the noise. The view walking from the Property to downtown is spectacular.
I have travelled many countries (lived & worked aboard twice) & stayed in many different types of hotels/residences & I can truly & honestly say The Residence by Villa Alejandro in Boquete is at the top of my list for a repeated stay.
The residence was clean & quiet but for the sweet serene sound of birds, “frogs” & other outdoor natural living creatures & the tranquil sound of water gushing in, out & through the beautifully handcrafted water-wheel. Take a seat outside in the immaculately kept garden amongst the trees & tropical flowers & let go of any stress & absorb the clean air & raw nature. All helped contribute towards my well-being.
The staff at Villa Alejandro gave a wealth of knowledge & information about what to do in Boquete. They are proud of Boquete which is telling too.
I thank this opportunity to thank the staff at Villa Alejandro: you are all fine examples of what hospitality should be & looks like; very professional while providing a warm greeting & making the guest feel special.
Thank you indeed read less

My view was amazing of the beautiful foliage and the sound of the river below the patio was so relaxing. Everything that I needed was within walking distance, lots of restaurants and bars to meet people, which I did and made lifelong friends here.
We had the option to prepare meals which we did and everyone was welcomed to enjoy with us especially the sangria.
Abdul, Yamila and the entire staff responded to any needs we had whether a taxi from the spa or to the local clinic.
Overall, one of my best experiences at an Airbnb. We met and talked with the other guests in the lounge area so you never felt quite alone.
Don’t pass up the opportunity to be treated like family instead of just a guest, I loved every moment at the Villa Alejandro! read less
