The property was beautiful and all of the reception staff was amazing. They were the best part!! I really wanted to love this place because it was so beautiful, but too much went wrong. Beware of booking an economy room as that was the excuse for anything wrong.

Our first room, 105, had issues. The bathroom was not cleaned as there was a bunch of hair in the sink as well as very moldy caulk and wrappers/debris in the shower. Housekeeping came to clean it up but afterwards the cleaner continually gave us nasty looks every time she saw us. She even walked into our room at 8:30 in the morning without knocking and we had the do not disturb on. On the balcony, the kitchen vent was there and it was loud with an overwhelming food orders. We were moved the next day.

Second room was much better on the balcony, but the shower spit water all over the bathroom. The safe would not open and after a day out WITH DO NOT disturb on, there was an opened bag of M&Ms on the shelf. We decided we didn't want to move again so we made good with what we had.

The restaurant messed up my dinner one night (avocado salad with chicken.. But no chicken but I just settled, however the salad was salted heavily.. No way to eat that) and the kitchen was closed so I was stuck dipping into my husband's plate and then we had to Uber to the market so I would not be hungry all night. No apology at all. The waiter said.. chicken is extra. Ok, so what I ordered it and it was an add on option.

The staff and grounds were the best things for me. I give the staff a 10 on a 5-point scale. And the grounds are lovely, with a large stream surrounded by lush bushes, flowers, and trees maybe 100 ft away.
The rooms are decent size with balconies overlooking the grounds. While the rooms are not perfect, they are comfortable and every day I chilled out more and liked it more as an oasis from stress.
There is a good Italian-leaning restaurant at one end of the building and I ate there a number of times.

Lovely place in Boquete. Rooms are clean and spacious. The bed is comfortable. The balcony is lovely. The air con is a little noisy. Bathroom is small but clean and the shower is spacious with good water pressure. Maneuvering around the door to access the toilet, however, is an acrobatic adventure. The parking lot is accessible from the road by going down a steep decline. If you master this decline without scraping the underbody of your (rental) car you probably qualify for a driver position at the famous Paris-Dakar rally. Despite all these shortcomings the place was absolutely lovely and I would stay there again.

The staff was very nice and friendly. The cleaning staff did a decent job cleaning the room. But, one really doesn't know how a hotel is until they stay there for a while. I stayed Valley Del Rio hotel for a week and a half at this hotel. The walls in between the rooms are \"paper thin\". A person can hear everything that is going on in the adjacent room or in a room few doors down the hall. Also, the fire alarm kept on going off almost every night. Needless to say, I didn't get hardly any sleep while I stayed at the Valley Del Rio hotel.

The bed was comfortable with a nice blanket..it gets cold at night and I had to turn off the A/C. Took a while to figure out the TV, none of the housekeepers seemed to know how to make it work, but after 1/2 hour or so I did find an English Channel ( it was on Spanish\" Peppa pig\", when I turned it on and we couldn't get rid of it for a while.

This is a hotel to avoid

Where to start... this hotel claims to be the only hotel in Boquete with AC in all rooms - this is a flat out lie, my room didn't have AC - and I wish it had because the room was stuffy and hot.

Food in the restaurant is inedible, and that's not an exaggeration. Very odd given that Boquete actually has some of the best food in Panama.

Wifi simply doesn't reach the rooms and isn't usable at all. Complaining about it did no good as all the receptionist had to say was \"correct, correct, correct\".

Laundry prices are obscene. Also, the policy of charging you $10 if you lose the room key - which is the typical plastic room key you get everywhere - is unbelievable and something I had never seen before.

The safe kept on malfunctioning, which is an issue when the maid leaves your 1st story room balcony completely open when she's done.

When power goes out, their generator sounds like a 747 is revving its engine inside your ears.

I really like this hotel. Located next to the river, one can fall sleep with the sound of water. We've been here 5 times already since the Pandemic and regard it as our prefered escape location.

Unfortunately, we can say that the facilities seem to be getting worst every time we go. We've stated in the same room twice, delayed by about 3 months and the same issue with the faulty shower reported on the first trip was there this last time.

Its a very simple fix to replace the shower head but apparently there is no interest to fix it from management.

It's a shame.... very nice location though.

I visited this hotel last year and returned this year. Since last year property is not maintained well. Furniture is failing a part, restaurant walls and ceiling durty. In my room WiFi did not work. Paying $160 plus tax per night is way to high for Panama. Location is great but services a terrible. Staff was trying to help with wifi in the room but nothing happened. My wife is eligible for jubilado discount but front desk person said at check out that I was already charged for the room and nothing can be done. So the bottom line is be prepared for old broken furniture in you room with bad or no wifi, not that good restaurant food, but enjoy the river view.
