Creadora — Hotel in Alto Boquete

This hostel is pretty shabby and it's not a pleasant place to stay. Overall the place is in a bad condition and it's quite far from the town.

Walls in the room were dirty. Room was too small. There were holes in the walls and in the ceiling in the room (see photos). Pans and pots are scratched. Dishes and cups need to be replaced.

We were able to meet the owner Dora, her son, and granddaughters. They were...

She spent a long time calling around to see if it was possible for us to do a particular hike, and then when we were leaving, drove us out of her way (without expecting anything from us). The hostel is very clean, and there is a well equipped kitchen out the back with lots of seating. Our room was a good size and comfortable. There are two showers and two toilets and there is hot water in the showers. It is a $2 taxi ride into the main part of boquete, but there are a few places to eat that are decent just over the road. There is also a bus that stops right nearby (including the bus...
