Top choice in Boquete
Once upon a time, a Dutchman built this castle to pay homage to his beloved. Now it's a surreal fun center with an indoor swimming pool and Jacuzzi, on-site bar and gardens overlooking the hills. There's three dorm rooms, but the most sought-after lodgings are fiberglass hobbit holes out back, though budding Rapunzels could opt for the two-story tower.
The owners, Tom and Dan, are two Canadians from Alberta who aim to please. It's a US$3 taxi ride from the center.
