About Us

Dear Friends,

Welcome to our B&B Hotel Cerrito Tropical on Taboga Island in Panama from Cynthia and Hiddo Mulder; we are both from small islands but from completely different areas and cultures – P.E.I., Canada and Curacao in the Dutch Caribbean. Now we have chosen Panama as our home.

We built Cerrito Tropical as a small B&B Hotel so our guests could feel at home but yet in the unique atmosphere of Taboga Island. The concept is a B&B Hotel style along with Vacation Apartments for those who wish to enjoy the island during a longer stay. Taboga Island offers a truly historic culture dating back some 500 years. Plus it offers interesting hikes, beaches, fishing and an atmosphere where you can completely relax.

We built Cerrito Tropical Bed and Breakfast ourselves along with our local construction team. We believe in sustainable tourism and not only hire totally local staff but have begun to grow some of our own fruit and herbs. Our employees are simple, friendly local people. We are on hand as much as can be since our main office is in Panama City where we purchase everything to run Cerrito. When we are not on site our manager and chef (we also have a great restaurant menu with lunch and dinner for our guests), Aristedes, is in charge, along with Aida, Cathy, Valentina and Anjelica. They can always reach us by cell phone.

People arrive as guests, but when they check-out they say goodbye as friends. Having Cerrito and meeting our new found friends has been very rewarding. When we are not on hand our experienced manager and chef, Aristedes, is in charge.

The best prescription for Stress Management: Relax and unwind by the beach at Cerrito Tropical Bed and Breakfast Inn on Taboga Island Panama. Travel by scenic Calypso Ferry trip in 1 hour from Panama City. Don´t forget to adopt the local islander´s attitude for life: “No Stress, Amigo!”.

This is your invitation to visit B&B Inn Cerrito Tropical with our friendly Isla Taboga team, and enjoy this historic gem of an island as much as we do.

Best Tropical Regards!

Cynthia & Hiddo
