Fodor's Expert Review Finca Lérida

This working coffee farm on the eastern slope of Volcán Barú above Boquete has almost 150 acres of bird-replete cloud forest, and birders and naturalists make up the bulk of the clientele here. Rooms are either in the mountainside deluxe section, in the original 1920s farmhouse, or in the cozy suites with indoor-outdoor fireplaces. Deluxe rooms are bright and spacious with hardwood floors, high, sloping ceilings, one king or two queen beds, terrace hammocks, and picture windows with panoramic views. The Scandinavian-style farmhouse has smaller, less expensive rooms with a vintage atmosphere and plenty of character. It's worth splurging for the romantic suites with rich woods, chandeliers, stone fireplaces, and Jacuzzi tubs. All rooms have 42-inch flat-screen TVs, Damana bath products, and Wi-Fi.
