Reviews of Hotel-Boutique Patampa 4 stars

This was the perfect way to end our vacation in Panama! Only minutes to the David airport and even better our host provided complimentary transportation for us. Our host, Pasquale was very hospitable and what an amazing breakfast in the morning only to find out he was a chef with so many stories! We love staying at places where the host actually engages in conversation and we're not just renting a room. It's all about the experience when we travel. Staying in Panama for 1 month, we will share this was one of our nicest experiences. We love hearing people's stories of why they decided to settle where they do. We are very community service oriented and were so impressed that Pasquale opened up his swimming pool a couple hours a week for the school kids to take swimming lessons. We loved watching them have fun and they were all so polite. Being a health coach and providing healthy cooking classes for my clients, we are looking forward to getting some of Pasquale's recipes! Thank you thank you for this nice experience! We do hope to return someday

Everything was perfect! Even the recommended Italian restaurant which was one of the best meals we had in Panama!

Breakfast was excellent. Location was perfect.

We travel by motorcycle and we could easily find the place. It's just outside the centre of David. It feels remote but you're actually very nearby the main road. We used Uber taxis to go to the supermarkets/restaurants. The hotel is outstanding. We had a room near the pool. Our room was lovely, nicely decorated and the AC was really nice. There is a big fridge in de common lounge, which you could also get some drinks from. Which was really nice after a long, hot, day of riding! Breakfast was very good. Pascal and his wife are really friendly and helpful and we had some nice conversation! Their dogs are so friendly as well and I loved to pet them. The hotel is very quiet and we enjoyed sitting outside and listening and watching all the birds, squirrels, iguanas, lizards etc. Would definitely recommend to stay of you're going to David!

Quiet and comfortable

Tricky to find. Google maps did not do a good job with that. It’s tucked away in an unexpected residential area but lovely once you get there.

Quaint and friendly. Service was excellent. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

The host Pascal was very helpful and cooked us a nice breakfast. He was a good conversationalist and also sensed when to allow privacy. The pool was very enjoyable as well as the bird and butterfly viewing.

You need a car or taxis to get to most things. We had dinner delivered, which Pascal helped arrange since we were tired when we arrived.

Pascal is friendly and a good conversationalist. We enjoyed the location which is in a neighborhood next to the river but only 1 mile from the city center. Lots of birds nearby. The pool is lovely, the rooms are large and well appointed. The shower is lovely!

You drive through a neighborhood that appears a little sketchy on the way to his place but it's safe, quiet and a lovely retreat!

Delicious breakfast, lovely small boutique hotel. Spoke several times with the owners who gave me lots of advice about David. Gated parking for company vehicle. Air conditioner works great and the water pressure is excellent. Wonderful made-to-order breakfast with fresh fruit and abundant coffee every morning. Hummingbird feeders and old mature trees in the garden meant breakfast was also full of beautiful birds. I love this hotel.

This was a very nice property, and the host was very helpful and pleasant. The large bed and pillows were very comfy, and the host arranged for a small fridge to be put in our room; which was really useful for us.

However, there was no tea or coffee making facilities. We had the Darien room which was the furthest room from the pool area, so it was probably the quietest one in the building. It also had pleasant views of the gardens. This was important because every day we were there, for four nights, the host rented out the whole pool and communal living area to members of the public for parties with up to 40 people, including children, with very loud music. The noise started in the morning, and sometimes didn’t end till 5 or 6pm. We chose this property as a transit stop on our long trip because it was away from the busy and noisy part of town, and it had lovely gardens and a wonderful pool area where we planned to just relax in the sun and read books. This was impossible. The noise from the party-goers was intolerable and all the seats were taken. I have attached photos; (which I have never had to do before). We expected to share the pool with a few other guests from this small complex, but not with 40 other people who were there specifically to party. Whatever time we had there had to be spent in our room. Although the room was fairly quiet, we could still hear the party noise from the pool area from around mid-morning. There were also a lot of dogs on the property, and between them and the dogs next door, they made a lot of noise early in the morning and late at night. It was not at all relaxing.

Owner Paskel treated us like family Only 6 rooms just two couples today

David is not a tourist not a tourist town but we lnewr that

This hotel is always clean and well kept, and Pascal (and staff) are exceptional! We have stayed here before and we will be returning. Breakfast was also great.

Nothing

Beautiful grounds, quiet neighborhood, fabulous staff.

My stay was a true delight. The lovely art design, chef-prepared quality breakfast and comfortabke accommodations exceded my expectations. The serene pool and lush garden oasis provided the perfect setting to unwind and rejuvenate in style. The owners were very accommodating, We will return.

I would like to have stayed a few more days.

We wished we stayed longer! The property was amazing, the pool was pristine, the owners were so kind! No detail was overlooked. The shower was amazing and the bed was comfy! We loved our time here!

Everything was perfect!

This turned out to be a great layover for morning drive to Boquete to go birding for a week. What I did not expect was the excellent birding I discovered right in the simi rural setting the next morning. I saw about 45 birds right in the neighborhood. The owner/host was friendly and very helpful. Very nice place to stay!

Very friendly owner and staff. Great conversations each morning in the breakfast area. The morning breakfast is offered at a bargain price. Well appointed room and quiet, secluded, secure grounds.

There is a central mini refrigerator offering drinks at a fair price. A small refrigerator in each room would better allow for keeping food fresh and saving leftovers. PedidosYa delivers to the hotel, which is great. A mini refrigerator would have allowed us to order food every other day instead of daily.

I loved talking with the owner, who met me and showed me directly to my room. Each room is a homage to a different province in Panamà. She was super helpful also with helping me find local artisans to buy gifts from. Finally, the garden over the pool and the surrounding neighborhood along the river are beautiful and full of birds to observe. Overall, a very comfortable stay.

This is more of a note for other travelers than a complaint. This is a small operation, so I couldn’t find anybody to help me around 9:30pm once everyone was asleep. I ended up borrowing some blankets from a linen closet I found in the lobby (Sorry!) so just make sure you are completely settled during the day.

Lush green oasis in an otherwise unattractive city. Off the beaten track but it felt safe and secure.

Arrival was a bit disconcerting. There seemed to be nobody around, and then a young guy eventually appeared and let us in but he appeared to have no idea we were expected. The place was being run by him and his girlfriend, and there was no bar or restaurant (as advertised) so we were obliged to order a take-out meal that was almost inedible.

Very beautiful property with a nice pool.

I just didn’t like that the property was too far to walk to nearest eateries.

Excellent stay although it was cut short unexpectedly. Beautiful quiet location with great amenities and wonderful staff. Pascal, Ronny and Vivian are wonderful people and make you feel at home. I’ll be back soon
