Cielito Sur

Cielito Sur Review

The best thing about this B&B is the service provided by its Panamanian-American owners, Janet and Glenn Lee. They rent mountain bikes and canoes, prepare box lunches, and organize tours ranging from bird-watching to a guided hike on the Sendero Los Quetzales with luggage transfer to your hotel in Boquete. 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 named after Indian tribes and decorated with indigenous Panamanian crafts such as baskets, spears, and clay pots. 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.
