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...

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...

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...

Thank you for you constructive critic. In response to this critic we can inform you that the wind factor is NORMAL, this is due to the postion of the hotel on the base of the three mountains. We have recently remodeled the rooms and changed the furnishings including the bed with pillowtop to insure a well deserved rest. we encourage...

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...

there is no lack of truth in advertizing, the website he consulted has not been updated since 2006, and currently is being worked on, as you can corroborate when you enter the rate page. The rooms have been recently renovated, fixing the noise filtration problems, and the decor as well as the furnishing. the price difference the customer is mentioning,...

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...

I have stayed at this hotel many times over the last 35 years with groups of entomologists. I was there on 14 August 2010 with a small group of 6. We would have stayed longer but the hotel was completely booked for a team of athletes coming into El Valle for some sort of competition that weekend. They have a...

We stayed elsewhere but were told by the locals that Campestre is currently closed, except for occasional use for equestrian shows. We walked by the Hotel and it looked completely deserted.

It is this kind of place that gives the evolution of the Panamanian Tourist industry a bad name. A previous poster used the words 'Jurrasic Park' - well that conjures up the right mental images. In the lobby a fifty-year old picture boasts Campestre to be the idyllic destination away from Panama City at $3 per night. Well, that's about...

Thank you for your comments, we have already invested in the renovations of the rooms, and common areas, and we are still investing on the proyect. the signed were put up since the moment we had to demolish the main wooden building due to safety issues, ( the 60 year old wood was unsalvageble, plus impossible to simple remodel).

I felt like I was in Jurassic Park with the lush mountainous background here. There are waterfalls and beautiful grounds to walk around. They have a short hike to the "square" trees, and also have a golden frog and parrots in a cage to view.
For dinner we went to Cumana Bistro. A quaint, local restaurant that served fixed price...

location and cleanliness was pretty good, the view was amazing!! ... but the service, even thought not bad, unfit for a hotel that should be the best in the area. Do not take breakfast, for $7.50@ you can do a lot better a few blocks from there. Hope they change management...Room service? if you leave your key (thats what we...
