Valle Escondido Wellness Resort

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.

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.

Too expensive for what it is. Hotel Valle del Rio is much better. Very low water pressure, a/c and Tv very cheap. Included breakfast the same menu every day. Choice of dining inn too expensive with weird menus. No room service. No ramp for handicap. No bellhop in the morning for checking out. The place is beautiful but all hotels in Boquete are.

Beautiful scenery and river flowing through the resort, high quality infrastructure, very attentive staff, good quality food. Overall a great experience. Would definitely visit it again. Staff is committed to making sure you have a good stay at their resort.

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!
