There's a host of info on Boquete on the Internet as well as plenty of travel books. Have you looked at any other sources besides Ning? You'll probably find a lot of things out that you wouldn't have even thought of without asking a million questions on the forum. You also ought to consider renting a car while you're in town. Check out Cowboy Dave (look him up on this site using the Search function). Most people in Boquete end up with a vehicle pretty quickly when they see how spread out the district is. There are tons of cool places to go that are NOT in Bajo Boquete and car rentals are quite reasonable. Have a great time in and around Boquete!

We stayed in one of the studio type "apartments". Nice bath, king bed, sitting area and small kitchen w/breakfast bar. Two patios.

The finca is located far out of town. They sell at the Tuesday market, which is within walking distance of Isla Verde.

There is a small health food store in Boquete that sells some gluten-free products, and Finca Santa Marta, who sells produce at the Tuesday market, also sells health food items shipped in from the US. You can see their web site to see what they sell.

The cafe , the greenhouse at Isla Verde , is under new management as of this week and the focus is local, organic when possible, healthier food including gluten free options. You may desire to check it out. I, for one, am very grateful for the expanding options in this pueblo.

We stayed at Isla Verde on our first trip to Panama many years ago. Our casita had a stove. If memory serves, the breakfast provided had some gluten-free choices like fruit. Based on a lunch there a couple of months ago, I can report that the small restaurant is not gluten free unless you opt for salad. In fact, one of the diners in our group is gluten free and complained to the chef about the choices.

Highly recommend Isla Verde. Good accommodations, good people.

If you type Spanish words, you'll end up being so frustrated you'll turn it off. After trying to type "lo quiero" 4 times and having it keep coming up "Israel", I turned it off. Much less stressful.
