5 stars is not enough for this gem of a property. Above and beyond any and all expectations. Equipped and stocked with everything you could possibly need, and more. From the sheets and towels to the cooking and dining ware, it's all there and of the nicest quality. Multiple pages of laminated Information of things to do, places to eat, and maps to get you there. Ciella & Quincy thought of everything and were so very easy to make arrangements with and are super nice folks. Don't leave without strolling the garden path on the property, it is an absolutely gorgeous labor of love with amazing views at the end. About 10 minutes from town, but feels like a world away. Highly recommend and will definitely return if in the Boquete area again.

About the host

Hosted by Ciella Gabriel, owner

We decided to construct The Casita at The Hacienda to add to our accommodations. I am an avid gardener and The Hacienda gives me to opportunity to indulge in my favorite activity while creating a lovely space for guests to rest and relax. My husband personally observed every detail of construction and renovation of this entire property. He and I love to boogie board, hike and enjoy wonderful fresh organic food. We love hosting travelers from all over the world. We love Boquete and its amazing people, culture and beauty. We have lived here for over 10 wonderful years.

Why they chose this property

The Hacienda Apartment and Casita are uniquely situated in an area where manicured gardens, wild jungle fauna and banana forest collide. We are 10 minutes by car or a 20 minute hike from village center but the area feels secluded and very private.
It is not in a typical development but a bit wild and untamed. We have well over 100 banana trees and 5 different variety of bananas. We have lived here for 16 years and really know the area well and are very willing to assist our guests. We are here to serve your needs.

What makes this property unique

The Hacienda has extraordinary peace and serenity in a glorious garden setting. All rooms are decorated beautifully with luxurious sheets and towels. It is cozy and beautiful with owners who live right on the premises and love hosting guests from all over the world. Hike, take tours and play all day and then come home to The Hacienda and enjoy a great nights rest on a very comfortable mattress.
