The setting, in an extraordinary wide open space with a sort of entrance in the middle of nowhere, you are lead on the road around a large water area (pond?) vast & open pampas, like something from an old spaghetti western...volcanic hills surrounding what must be the most impressive entree in el valle. The Restaurant - open air - with... More

Hotel Campestre has by far the best location in El Valle, they are surrounded by beautiful mountains and the view of the amazing nature, the wonderful breeze, everything is very relaxing and make this place very special and unique. Having breakfast in the restaurante, surrounded by nature sounds it's just priceless. The administrator Alvaro and the chef, Cristina, are amazing... More

They did a good job at remodeling the rooms. We stayed upstairs in the last room, the furthest from the hot water heater. Need I say more? Other than the lack of hot water, the room was very nice and we opened the windows at night and had a wonderful breeze. There are better restaurants in town than the one... More

By far the best location in El Valle. The land around the hotel provides the most scenic view of all the hotels by far. Not to mention the square trees trail. I did a meditation walk once or twice a day while I was there. Rooms are nicely remodeled and AC is offered now although not often necessary. Love the... More

As a lover of nature and more specific of poison dart frogs, El Valle is the place to be to find the 'Golden Frog' or Atelopus zeteki. It is not really a poison dart frog, but it is a species you have to have seen if you go to Panama.The 'Rana de Oro' is one of the National symbols of... More

I brought a group of 14 entomologist's to the hotel in early August for two nights. I've stayed here with groups every year for the last 3 or 4 years. The rooms and bathrooms have just been remodeled, and look great. Nice huge shower heads and nicely tiled bathrooms. No air conditioning, but ceiling fans are all that is needed... More

I read in a Panama guidebook that this was a classic "Spanish hunting lodge". The signs called it a B&B. It was neither. The main part of the facility had been torn down at some point and there is no indication it will rebuilt. The room rate seemed to be at the whim of the front desk and I was... More

A friend and I stayed at this hotel in 2010. At that time they had many plans for its renovation and return to its former glory. We vowed that we would not stay there again until the renovations were complete. However, while making plans to visit el Valle with friends the hotel's website indicated that renovations were well under way... More

I was traveling by car with my husband and another couple early December. We got to El Valle after sunset. We have never been here before, had no room reservations and no pre- set expectations. We had not expected to spend the night here so i hadn't researched the hotels. The first sign we saw on the road was for... More
