Fodor's Expert Review Cielito Sur

Nueva Suiza, between Cerro Punta and Volcán, Nueva Suiza, Chiriquí, Panama

The best thing about this B&B is the service provided by its owner. Then there's the tranquil location at the forest's edge, where a stream runs through the gardens, and birdsong plays from sunrise to sunset. Spacious, well-equipped rooms are decorated with indigenous Panamanian crafts. Brighter end rooms are worth the extra $10 and include a kitchenette. Guests share a cozy lounge with a fireplace, DVD, stereo, and computer, as well as a wide covered terrace with rocking chairs for watching the hummingbirds. You might end up skipping lunch after the magnificent breakfasts of eggs, coffee, and fruit that come directly from the property.
