Great location for families

It was a great stay, good value rooms and great location next to The Rock. The room with a loft is good for families, but can be complicated with small children (younger than 6). Not enough room to comfortable store clothes (would have been tight even for 2 in a room with a King bed and two twins in the loft), so would more closet space. We enjoyed the common living room and being able to walk to The Rock (its the same property, but building next door).

Great Boutique Hotel

Staying here feels like staying at a wealthy friend's home on the banks of the rio pianista. Everything was perfect except there was no coffee in the morning until you go next door to the restaurant for the free continental breakfast. The groundskeepers start early at 7am and there was some noise from that. Otherwise perfect. You must experience!!!

Tuvimos una excelente estadía, fuimos con nuestras 2 hijas, así que reservamos la habitación de 2 pisos (maracuyá) que es bastante amplia, además el poder usar las áreas comunes aumenta bastante el comfort.
Es la segunda ocasión en la que nos hospedamos en Riverside Inn y esperamos volver.

Beautiful grounds

The area resounding the hotel is beautiful and peaceful, the room was large and comfortable. As others commented, the bed did squeak when you move and the room made popping noises (sounded like it was raining when it was not) due to the metal roof. There is only one restaurant option nearby which is The Rock ( under same management) which had a good breakfast and decent dinner options. The town is a bit far from the hotel and a car is a requirement if you decide to stay in this hotel.

Bad service

We came with high expectations but since the check in everything went wrong, the overall experience was disappointed.

- Breakfast: Limited included but couldn’t serve any additional meal not even if you are willing to pay for it.

- Service: Good or bad not really, there was few people in this hotel to serve, Not even close to what a bed and breakfast should be.

Lovely quiet place just outside Boquete town, walking distance to the nice The Rock restaurant (they also offer take out and deliver to the room). Nice garden and nice communal \"living rooms\" with a \"help yourself to a drink\" bar (you just note on a list what you consumed). Only downside is the roof construction of the building which makes a lot of noise when windy or raining

Quaint,Charming Inn

If you're looking for a beautiful setting, with the sound of a river on the property, mountains in the background, a lovely lady named Deysi(manager/speaks some English) who is there to give you wonderful recommendations, restaurant directly next door for included continental breakfast and more, then you've found it. This Inn, somewhat like a ranch style home with maybe 5+ bedrooms, living area, large study and inclosed patio area with beverages, snacks, TV etc, in my opinion would be ideal for a family get together or reunion of some sort. When we arrived, we were the only occupants the first evening-Delightful! Once others arrived(with families) the peacefulness and ambience disappeared. This is because all common area noises can be heard by all. With that being said, we certainly enjoyed our stay and the coffee tours that were recommended.

Relaxing and beautiful

I stayed for a week with my husband and two daughters. We stayed in the room with a loft. Very comfortable and clean. The hotel is about a mile from town and very convenient. The Rock restaurant next door was excellent. We ate breakfast there most days and dinner twice. Nice large outdoor area with a small table to sit and read at. Our room faced the back which gave us a great view of nature. Two large windows which let in a nice breeze. Only thing I would add would be screens to keep bugs from flying in although, it really wasnt a problem.

Riverside Inn, pleasant surprise.

I chose this hotel, somewhat in a hurry, without too much review. It looked acceptable. What a surprise. The site is gorgeous. The room was outstanding. We were told we got the best room...included a large deck. I viewed most other rooms and they were very much the same except no deck. The \"hotel\" (really a big house) has a large living room with fireplace, a library, and a large sun room. They have a stocked bar and wine in the frig...on the honor system. The room and decor were tops and the bathroom was huge with 2-person spa-tub. There is very nice restaurant next door which serves complimentary continental breakfast to guests of the hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Beautiful boutique hotel

The hotel was beautiful. It's a very small place - 6 or 7 suites. The staff is nice even when they don't speak much English. The atmosphere of the place is not so much of a hotel as a large private house. There are 2 communal spaces - a sunken living room and a spacious bar (honor system) and lounge area. Breakfast was served in the restaurant next door. The continental breakfast included in the price of the room had a fruit platter, 3 types of cheeses ( a slice per person) and bread. If you asked for cappuccino - they will give it to you at no extra charge. We had a rented car and drove to places around including the town, otherwise it is a little distance to get to town.

Great Boquete Boutique Hotel and restaurant

Wonderful! The Rock restaurant (they own it) next door is FABULOUS! One of the best meals I have ever had for dinner. Continental breakfast was included w/room and little did we know how much food you get. We ordered additional items and then struggled to eat them as we had sooo much food with the continental breakfast. Even so, it only came to $12 for two of us having a full breakfast each! This place is just awesome. Well located but out of the fray of the town. Would definitely go back.

A Lovely Inn

This little Inn is a quaint, casual, and very comfortable place where we quickly felt at home. It has the charm and intimacy of a B&B, but the privacy and professionalism of a hotel. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious, and the beds quite comfortable. Phillip is so kind and helpful. He organized all our tours and transportation, and was quick to assist with anything, but not pushy. The Inn environment worked well for our family which includes 3 children under the age of 9. They enjoyed running around outside and playing! A great experience, we plan to return!

An excellent inn with exceptional service

The Riverside Inn is a very nicely decorated, elegant little place. With just 6 guestrooms it can be very, very quiet. The rooms are very clean and appealing. While the inn is a bit out of the way (a cab ride is required to get into town), the service really sets it apart from the rest. The manager, Philipp, went above and beyond for our family, not only arranging for transport for us from Bocas del Toro to Boquette and from the Inn to David airport, he followed up with us every step of the way to make sure that we were taken care of. I cannot say enough about Philipp.

The Inn was very elegant and convenient to town, but in a quiet neighborhood. Our room was large, clean and we really enjoyed the spatious bathroom and tub. We used the \"honor system\" bar and were able to meet some other travelers in the bar. The excellent restaurant next door (The Rock) was an anbother plus.
