Hotel Finca Lerida Coffee Plantation And Boutique Hotel Boquete

Review by hotel critic

Nestled in the picturesque cloud forests of Panama, Hotel Finca Lerida Coffee Plantation and Boutique Hotel is a tranquil retreat that perfectly marries luxury with nature. The breathtaking views of lush gardens and the aroma of freshly roasted coffee envelop you the moment you arrive, making it an ideal sanctuary for travelers seeking both relaxation and adventure. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the immersive coffee tour, where we learned about the intricate process behind one of Panama's prized exports, while savoring unique brews along the way. Our guide, Jose, was knowledgeable and passionate, transforming coffee appreciation into an unforgettable experience. Beyond coffee, the hiking trails offered a delightful way to explore the natural beauty surrounding the estate, complemented by expert birdwatching led by Cesar—where we were thrilled to spot the majestic Resplendent Quetzal. Dining at La Brulerie was a true culinary delight; each meal was thoughtfully prepared by the talented kitchen team, delivering a creative menu that infused local flavors with a focus on healthy eating. Given the serene setting, we often found ourselves dining alfresco, soaking in the stunning views while enjoying a fresh seasonal cuisine. The staff's warm hospitality made all the difference; their attentiveness ensured our every need was met, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the Finca’s charming allure. Whether you’re a coffee connoisseur or an adventurer at heart, Finca Lerida serves as an exquisite base to explore the wonders of Boquete while indulging in the luxury of nature. This enchanting stay left us with cherished memories, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a serene escape.
