Coming to Boquete next week

See thread discussing the home robberies and assaults on expats and keep your eyes wide open!

I can recommend Marni's cottages if there is something available.

For a less housekeeping experience we thought both Isla Verde and Palo Alto Inn looked amazing.

Hello Steve,

Thank you for your recommendations..

We are currently at Palo Alto Inn and it is really nice. Not far from here is Boquete Garden Inn and seems amazing as well.

Boquete is a real nice place.

See you soon!

We'll be back there in January. Maybe stay at Isla Verde. Check it out while you're there. And enjoy a nice breakfast at Sugar n Spice!
Cheers!

How long are you going to be there? Unfortunately I don't think you can use this until next week but here it is just in case http://ofertasimple.com/ofertas/panama/ … ung+Galaxy

Hello Sunset Steve

Have you and your wife decided on retiring to Panama, or or you still looking? Are you also considering Ecuador?  Any thoughts on comparisons would be greatly appreciated, as other Canadians in similar circumstances would find your views illuminating, particularly with the present U.S. dollar.

Hello Cold Canada - I have spent many long hours pondering Panama or Ecuador. Ecuador is more appealing in some ways, more variety to choose temperate climate locations, lower cost of living in some respects, lower financial requirement to gain entry.  BUT the procedures in Panama are more clear-cut and seemingly straightforward, and more importantly, the travel cost, flight times etc. are much better to Panama, especially for potential family visits. On top of that I have visited Panama and like what I saw, not too keen to spend another few thou (American) to explore Ecuador. Maybe better spent by keeping it in my pocket? Both countries use the expensive US Dollar and you are right, that is killing us right now. Hopefully by the time I am ready to jump that situation will have improved.
