I discovered Panama in 2002 and have owned and operated a number of properties over the years. Most of my operations were focused in and around the coastal Caribbean town of Isla Colón in the Province of Bocas del Toro. My waterfront hostel (Casa Verde) was a gathering spot for young travelers seeking great food and fun. I sold the property in 2013 but the memories remain. My Tent Lodge (Palmar) is still in operation under different ownership right on the world famous Red Frog Beach. Sold in 2014 it remains a first class beach resort in the jungles of Bocas del Toro. After selling most of my properties in Bocas I chose to locate in the mountain region near Boquete and with the help of my co-host and his wife I operate a first class rental property overlooking the Rio Chiriqui Nuevo . It is a magical location with perfect weather, hiking trails and so much more.
My background is in hotels and restaurants and I strive to create memorable experiences for the many people I cater to. Casa Piscina is my latest endeavor and a great place for anyone wanting a base of operations in the bustling town of David. The pool and surrounding outdoor spaces are magical and a perfect place to relax and enjoy the warm tropical climate.
I am an avid fisherman and have been fortunate to travel the world in search of everything from marlin to food fish like Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Red Snapper, Halibut and Rock Fish.
I also love food and have a well known restaurant in the United States that occupies most of my time. If you are ever in Destin, Florida please visit Fudpucker's Beachside Bar & Grill. You will find Great Food, Fun and Live Alligators in a family themed restaurant and entertainment complex boasting 32,000 square feet on multiple levels. Seasonal visits during the Spring, Summer and Fall are recommended if you want to get a feel for where the action is while the winter season slows to a crawl. Regardless, I hope you enjoy Casa Piscina and will visit me sometime soon.
