10/10 Excellent
"An Extraordinary Escape — Even More Magical Than We Imagined! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ After staying at Hotel La Compañía in Casco Viejo, I genuinely didn't believe the experience could possibly get any better. Well, I was wrong. La Compañía del Valle took everything to an entirely new level! We arrived in El Valle de Antón after experiencing the frightening earthquake in Panama City. Unaccustomed to earthquakes, we were understandably shaken and desperately needed somewhere to unwind, feel comfortable, and regain our peace of mind. What we discovered was nothing short of extraordinary. There is something almost indescribable about this property. The beauty, the tranquility, the atmosphere, the energy… everything comes together to create a truly magical experience. It is a sanctuary of relaxation, elegance, and absolute pampering. The staff were exceptional, making us feel genuinely cared for from the moment we arrived. Somehow, they transformed what had been a frightening experience into one of our most beautiful and memorable escapes. Words and photographs simply cannot capture the essence of this place. You have to experience it to understand it. We left feeling so relaxed, reassured, and rejuvenated that we wanted it to continue so we had to return to La compañía in Casco Viejo! La Compañía has mastered something truly special: not just luxury hospitality, but the art of making people feel wonderful. Absolutely unforgettable! ❤️"

"Excelente relación precio hospedaje, precios aceptable en restaurante y opción de cafeteria. Habitaciones limpias, cama comoda y almohadas comodas tela confortable. Personal amable. Solo algunas cosas a mejorar: 1. Colocar toalla de baño en el suelo para no salir mojado de la ducha evitar riesgo de caidas 2. Colocar techo abajo de los paneles solares del estacionamiento, te mojas todo si hay lluvia. 3. Colocar pasamano en la rampa de acceso con discapacidad hacer marquesina o techo desde el estacionamiento y paso de zebra con rampa para el discapacitado que deba entrar al hotel. tengo una discapacidad temporal y tuve muchisimo problema para bajarme y caminar"

"What a wonderful place to find out what life on the Pacific coast of Panama is like and what it can be for you. Brooke and her staff are everything you would want in them. Friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating and supportive. Breakfast is included and is the only meal served daily. Definitely try El Parque restaurant in San Carlos. Delicious and inexpensive. Being a small lodge on the ocean makes it special. FYI: No TV, no fridge, no microwave in my room but an awesome ocean view, a comfortable bed and a large walk-in shower. Totally recommend this resort unless you are seeking the amenities of a corporate resort."
