Valle Escondido Resort

Our room should have been 5 star- bungalow on the river with hammock and patio seating which made for such relaxing afternoons listening to the rain! The only down side to the room was a termite swarm into the room that we cleaned up as it was late when we returned and found them. Housekeeping came the next am after I called to further clean up. We found out a few days before that the pool was unavailable due to an event they were having( that I am assuming was booked long before)- we had access to the “ cold pool?!)- so we had massages( great) but couldn’t experience the rest of the spa experience due to this event( same price tho) Food- we tried dinner and lunch and both were a huge fail. The food just was awful…. And any communication with the restaurant staff was a fail as well- they spoke and understood very little English so messed up our orders. Breakfast was included but marginal. We walked into Boquete for all our meals after that and found amazing restaurants there so just skipped the hotel. I got a message from our “ personal butler/ concierge” prior to arrival BUT they were off when we arrived and we never heard from them again during our 5 day stay. Airport pickup was seamless. We played mini golf which the course a severely neglected. There were other hotels in the area that we would try if we returned.

This is a beautiful property. The grounds are spacious, lush and well-maintained. We stayed in a riverside bungalow with a covered terrace overlooking the water. The room had a very roomy closet (with a safe) to stash your luggage and store your belongings, separate from the bedroom and bathroom. There was also a wet bar with fridge. The mattress was comfortable and provided a quality sleep. This bungalow was no more than a 5-minute walk to the restaurant and the cantina. The entrees and meals we ate there were all so delicious that during our week-long stay, we only ate outside the resort once. The servers were all friendly and very efficient, and we enjoyed lingering in the outdoor dining room to enjoy the colorful flowers and foliage. The spa is a real treat and our couples massages were top notch. There is a sauna and impressive coved swimming pool. From the moment the resort driver picked us up at the David airport we felt pampered and relaxed. Haydee (unsure about the spelling), the concierge, was in the van with cold water and lots of valuable information. She assisted us several times during our stay and was always efficient, friendly and extremely pleasant. If you want to walk to town, it’s about a 10 minute stroll with just a small amount of traffic. Our only disappointment was the small variety of birds on the property. Bring a raincoat for the misty rains that pop up periodically. Overall, this is a lovely, charming place to stay and get away from it all. We thoroughly enjoyed this resort.

Amazing resort and exactly what we were hoping for in terms of beautiful scenery and relaxation. Haydee is amazing and helped us with everything pre and post arrival. I’m pretty sure the Calm App sound track was recorded here as the sound of the river and the birds sounds is like a meditation sound experience. The little church in the middle is beautiful and the staff here so helpful and friendly.

We recently stayed at Valle Escondido with our family and were absolutely blown away by the experience. The resort is tucked away in a peaceful valley, surrounded by beautiful nature and beautiful Mountain View’s From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. Special thanks to the team for their warm hospitality and thoughtful service. Our room was clean, cozy, and perfectly located. We loved waking up to the sound of birds and walking through the gardens each morning. The restaurants are nice and the food is great.. if you find the time play a round of golf on prem Loved the tree trek excursion Highly recommended for families

The resort is excellent. In every regard. It’s located in one of the most beautiful areas we’ve ever been. The scenery is spectacular. The rooms were luxurious and the furnishings and amenities were all top notch. The restaurant was great, both the food and the service. And the level of customer service was as good as it gets. Everyone from the front desk and concierge to the housekeeping staff was friendly, welcoming, and always strived to make sure we were happy. No request was too small or large. In summary there are not enough superlatives to describe how much we enjoyed ourselves here at Valle Escondido. We hated to leave and can’t wait to return. It has become one of our favorite places after only 1 stay.
