The Riverside Inn

Beautiful boutique hotel with great service! Situated in a wonderful location. Spacious rooms, good breakfast. The staff was there to assist us in everything we asked for. Check in and Check out were smooth and easy. This hotel is perfect for families, friends and couples.

Very nice very comfortable experience. It felt as if it was a full rental of the entire property. The amenities were top notch plus great service from the staff from checking in to checking out. Look forward to visiting again in a near future.

Boquete area was a lovely surprise and the Riverside Inn was perfect. It was in a beautiful setting on a river, a little ways outside of town. The room, bathroom and patio were very spacious and comfortable. Outside the rooms, there is a fully stocked honor bar with liquors, wines, and snacks in a lovely sun. Adjacent is a lovely restaurant, The Rock. The drinks and food were excellent! A fun treat after dinner, they bring giant marshmallows on sticks to your table, for you to walk outside and roast on their pit fire that burns all day. Fun!

We are going to agree with the latest reviews on Google here that this hotel doesn't seem to be moving in the right direction. Our stay started off poorly with an unwillingness to help make it right when our travel agency miscommunicated our early arrival. We had to wait nearly 3 hours for our room to be ready, and watched as the cleaning happened at a snails pace. There was no willingness from the front desk to help speed things along.... Yes we were early, but any other hotel would have done their best to get us in as soon as they could. Not here. Then there was the room. We stayed in the room with a loft. Plenty of room yes, but there were all these little details that were missing. There was no closet anywhere, a piece of furniture tried to take it's place, but no where to hang anything but baby sized clothes. The AC worked but juuuust barely for the room, had it been any hotter we'd have been uncomfortable. The loft never got much air and was much hotter than the room. The stairs to the loft were nice looking, until you noticed this weird particle board with a screw sticking out at the end, because there was no rail there to protect small children from falling. Then there was the bathroom... A toilet too low to the ground, that rocked, and that wouldn't flush for the life of us if anyone did #2 in it. The shower had a weird tiled tub that was really odd. Missing trim at the bottom just removed due to rot. The window had no working lock, and wasn't sealed allowing mosquitoes in. The counter way too low because they had raised bowl style sinks. No air circulation in the bathroom so it would fog up like crazy on every shower. Then there's the uncomfortable feeling of reception that leaves you in the hotel, by yourself, at 5pm. If anything happens, it feels like your on your own... We didn't realize until halfway through our trip that you could call the restaurant next door for help if you needed it (like a stuck toilet). Our suggestion... And a strong one. Take some time and fix up the rooms. Fix the little things like what we have mentioned here. Talk to your staff about taking care of the customer. At offer to do all you can even if you can't do much. It goes along way. Unfortunately for us, it was death by a thousand cuts. For the same money, you can stay nearby at the high end resort and get better service for the same cost. Spend your money elsewhere.

We stayed as a family of three in August 2023 - we had the room with an upper loft which was perfect for our 9 year old daughter. This is a lovely comfortable inn that is connected to the Rock restaurant next door - one of the best restaurants in all of Boquete. Service was excellent - very friendly and welcoming - and the rooms were comfortable and spacious. The shower deserves special mention - excellent water pressure after a long day of exploring!

Loved this small hotel! Bouqute is a lovely town and this is a delightful property on the river. We stayed in a room that had a loft with twin beds, which our daughter loved and is really a perfect setup for families. There was a delightful common area with an honor bar that we enjoyed for cocktails and a family card game before dinner at the excellent restaurant next door. Wonderful setting close to town and activities.
