Fodor's Expert Review Valle Del Río

Calle Costarica, Bajo Boquete, Chiriquí, Panama

This hotel takes pride in reflecting the great American chain hotels with comforts like digital TV, air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, coffee makers, iPhone docks, and minibars in the rooms. But it is the European decor that makes this place so stunningly beautiful. Standard rooms have marble bathrooms, hardwood floors, white linens, and satin curtains that frame mountain views from wrought-iron balconies. On the river's edge is a large terrace where meals are served from the hotel's wine bar and international restaurant, Paladar. A play area, game room, and enclosed trampoline make this a popular hotel with families.
