We recently made a trip to Panama with the idea of exploring the country for retirement. We stayed with Rick and Anita at Pequeno Paraiso for 3 days before heading to Boquete and Altos del Maria. Rick took us on a private tour of Panama city. We went to Panama Viejo, Casco Viejo where he took us to the Fish... More

Tripadvisor should create a new rating of 5*+ for places like Pequeño Paraiso! (Richard and Anita are the proprietors). This Bed and Breakfast is a private home located in a very nice, quiet neighborhood on the outskirts of Panama City. The rooms there are very homey, comfortable and immaculately kept. Many before us have raved about the gourmet breakfasts provided... More

Stayed 2 nights with Rick and we were very satisfied. He is friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and the facility is clean, attractive and a very good value. Breakfast was great. The general area is not close to the city attractions nor beautiful but the b&b is tucked into a nice, quiet neighborhood. Felt very much at home-would go back in a... More

An excellent B&B in all respects. Rick picked us up at the airport for a very reasonable fee, and Rick, Anita and family made us feel very welcome during our brief overnight stay in February 2012. Our room was comfortable and spotless, the amenities were of a high standard, the pool inviting and the breakfast superb. As a bonus, the... More

Great B&B tucked away in a quiet suburb. Spacious clean room, comfy bed. Great breakfast! The fresh spiced apples atop the fluffy pancakes smelled and tasted like fresh apple pie! Good Panamanian coffee too! Richard and Anita are very welcoming and warm hosts. Richard made arrangement for a driver to be waiting at the airport when we arrived as we... More

The room was very comfortable and the breakfasts were excellent. We enjoyed relaxing by their pool and a walk to a nearby lake. We also visited Gamboa sites with the help of a great driver recommended by the owner. The only drawback was difficulty finding restaurants nearby. We would highly recommend this B & B.

The rooms are clean and comfortable in this B&B in a quiet suburb of Panama City. Even though it is off the beaten track we were still able to see all the sights we wanted because Rick arranged taxis with driver for $10 per hour; this is a very convenient way to get around if you know what you want...

I am a little reluctant for the "secret" of Pequeno Paraiso to get out for fear of its being booked so heavily that I cannot get back in. But the personal attention given by hosts Richard and Anita was such that I feel compelled to repay them in this small way: I came upon Pequeno Paraiso by chance off the... More

Service was great. Good directions to get there, and Richard lent me his GPS after I got there so i could get around Panama City. He even helped me repair the winch on my truck. I needed some laundry done and Matilda, the employee and Anita did it for a very reasonable amount. Matilda even cleaned the mud off my... More
