My wife and I, both seniors, enjoyed our stay in the Aparthotel Los Pinos. It was easy to find and had everything we needed for our 9 day stay there. The gas stove and oven worked well, and there were enough kitchen supplies to eat breakfasts, lunches and some dinners there. The apartment was clean and everything worked well. The stairs to the second floor where the bedrooms are located are very steep, which could be a problem for some. More problematic was the noise coming from a party venue in an empty lot located a short distance behind the apartment. Thursday through Sunday night, there is a DJ playing music until about 2 am. The music, especially the base, was persistent and loud, even when there was hardly anyone there. The walls are a little thin, so noise coming from the party venue and from other units in the building was a problem. During our stay there, one of the units was being renovated, and there was noise during the day, accompanied by frequent water outages, preventing us from using the shower or any of the sinks at times. The setting is gorgeous, the apartment is spacious and the location a few blocks from the main street of Boquete is excellent. While there was generally someone around to answer questions, you probably need to understand Spanish to make this work well for you. This worked for us, but maybe not for everyone. Despite some of the deficiencies noted above, we enjoyed our time there, and might even stay there again if we were to return.
