Peaceful Resort in a Beautiful Valley

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 6 Feb 2025via mobile
We stayed at Valle Escondido for four nights during our visit to Boquete. The hotel is located on the grounds of a golf resort community within walking distance (10 minutes) of the center of Boquete. The hotel offers a paid shuttle service to David Airport which we used. The shuttle was a modern van/minibus which we shared with a group of other guests. The road from David to Boquete is very good and the drive is not long.

The setting of Valle Escondido is lovely, in a narrow valley surrounded by lush hills. The grounds are beautiful and well-manicured. There are many beautiful plants and flowers and it is a haven for birds. Our room was in the main building of the hotel. It was furnished simply but was large and had a lovely terrace opening onto a garden with a river running through it. The patio had a hammock and two chairs and a table.

Meals are served in another nearby building on the property. The restaurant building has two large side porches with flowers and the dining room itself has large windows on three sides-opening up to the beautiful surroundings. The menu is varied, very reasonably priced, and offers dishes that are fresh, healthy, and delicious. Many of the vegetables and herbs come from the resort’s own gardens.

Next to the restaurant building is the bar, which offers snacks and excellent cocktails.

The resort also has a large spa and a beautiful indoor swimming pool with a glass roof.

We also used the hotel’s laundry service which was very efficient and inexpensive.

Valle Escondido is an excellent choice for a stay in Boquete!

When you arrive at this resort, there is a sign saying “Welcome to Paradise”. This is how Haydee and her team made us feel since the moment they picked us up at David’s airport. My family and I had a truly wonderful time at Valle Escondido. We highly recommend it. Make no mistake about it!

Room tip: Enjoy the spa as much as you can.

We had a very nice stay at Valle Escondito. We enjoyed the restaurant and were pleasantly surprised with the large fitness room with nice equipment and room to do yoga and stretching. They even have a racquetball court!

My wife did a massage and she said it was very relaxing. The masseuse did a great full body massage.

It is a large property with a golf course and stream running through it. I enjoyed my walk around the property.

The staff here is super helpful and courteous. I even left my glasses in the room and they let me know so i could retrieve it.

I would definitely recommend staying here!

This was a most enjoyable and memorable stay. Valle Escondido is located very close to the center of Boquete but off the beaten path just enough to feel remote and private - a gated and intimate paradise nestled in a beautiful mountain setting. Our room was a very cozy and well-appointed bungalow set on one of the little rivers that meander through the property, creating a tranquil, flowing water sound throughout the day and night - I could have lingered on our patio by the water the whole stay, but there was much more to do!

All of the staff were incredibly polite and helpful, but most notably the food at the restaurant was phenomenal, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They put on a very unexpected and elegant Thanksgiving dinner, which made us feel so good far away from family back home. And each item in the buffet setting was absolutely delicious.

I can’t say enough about how fortunate we felt to have stayed here and hope to return when feasible.

Room tip: Get a room on the river - very tranquil

The grounds are beautiful however the service was poor. Most amenities however were under construction or closed without explanation. Same for the restaurants. The restaurants also do not follow their menu with regard to vegan/gluten free etc. Very disappointing. Would not recommend.
