Hola... My friend is wanting to spend a couple of months here in Boquete (or close by!) in Feb/March.   She is okay with a "humble" rental... the biggest concern of hers is that there is a fenced/secure yard for her dog.  She is currently in Costa Rica -- spening less than $300 for a rental...  I told her to expect a bit more, but she cannot go past $450 MAX.   

I'm reaching out here on CL to see if anyone may have a rental that meets those parameters.   If yes, please contact me!  :)  Thanks, Joy

A hungry, young Mama Cat & her three babies appeared a few days ago, seeking food and love -- both of which I am able to provide, but only temporarily.

Kittens are estimated to be approx. 5-6 weeks; Mama estimated to be around 1 year old -- none are yet 'fixed' or with vaccinations. The plan is to foster them until they are ready to be adopted (another few weeks). They are scheduled for NEXT month's animales clinic for operations & shots.

They are a sweet, loving, and seemingly healthy feline family. Ideally, the two female kittens would adopt together -- as they seem to share a special bond.

If you, or anybody you know, would like to become a "forever home" to any of these kittens and/or mama cat, please contact me.

Completely furnished, upstairs, 2 bedrooms / 2 baths, with custom kitchen and built-in barbecue on the balcony.
Gated community with friendly neighbors. 
$750 per month with $375 deposit for short term OR $700 per month and $700 deposit for long-term (6 months+)
Internet and basic cable included ($55)
Renters pay electricity and propane
Pets considered with deposit

After much evaluation (and a few tears) I have come to the decision to close the Fénix Cafe. The cafe will be operating and slowly winding down through the month of September. Previously scheduled events (including Mexican Train groups, Drum Circle, Belly Dance classes, etc) will continue throughout the month. 

I am deeply appreciative of the opportunity I have had to develop the Fénix. Not only were many invaluable lessons learned, but more so, authentic connections were made that go beyond the six walls of the Hex Room… relationships that will continue to grow and evolve. I am thrilled with all that has transpired, even if it was for a ‘brief flash' of 4 months. It was this time that has given me a chance to evaluate the cafe as a business, and also my own work-life balance.

As the owner of the Fénix Cafe, I think it is important to note that any and all donations go 100% to the Film Club.  The Fénix does not receive a percentage of the donations.  All revenue for the Fénix is generated through food and drink sales.   Some, come on down -- watch a great film, and enjoy a meal and tasty beverage.  ;-)   Joy

Hola All,

I manage a property here in town.  Recently the property's fabulous cleaning woman retired, and I am looking for a replacement.  This is not a set schedule, but rather cleaning either the upper unit or lower unit in between guest check-ins.    Any and all suggestions appreciated!  

gracias,
Joy

I just had to chime in regarding refunds, as I had a recent experince at the department store here in Boquete.  I was making a purchase for someone else (read: this was not my money) -- so I was very clear in asking about the return/refund policy before purchasing the items.   I was told very clearly (I understand and speak Spanish) that I could return the items for either credit or cash (effectivo), depending how it was purchased.   I used cash.  

After finding out that the items were not going to fit the needs required, I brought them back to the store less than one week later.  I was then told that it would be "credit" only, which would have been fine -- but, again, this was not my own money, and there was nothing else needed at the store.  I explained that before making a decision, I would need to speak with the person whom I was representing in order to get her instruction on preference (keep the items or get credit)… and asked how much time I had to be eligible to bring the items back with the original receipt.   I was then told TODAY only, and that after that they would not honor the refund policy.  This, of course, made no sense… as it had only been a few days since the original purchase.  blah, blah, blah… rest of the story unfolds.  

Bottom line: I will not purchase anything else from this department store in the future.  And, sadly, I doubt I would have been treated this way if I weren't a 'gringa'.  Things like this do happen.  I just wish it weren't so.  I understand rules, laws and policies.  What I don't understand how being 'lied to' is acceptable or defendable.   Peace.
