One of the best things about staying at the Hotel Residencial El Valle is the owner and manager, Enrique. He is an affable, gregarious host. Unlike many of the other hotel proprietors, Enrique is very warm and welcoming. The building is beautiful with tiled floors and the third floor is a large covered patio with 6 hammocks, hand made wood... More

We spent 2 nights in March at Hotel Residencial. The staff was very helpful and friendly, the rooms were clean, and there is a nice rooftop terrace with hammocks and chairs to relax in. The first night we were in an 'internal' room on the first floor which was just okay (a bit dark, and the one window opened next... More

Hotel Owner Enrique Tiban was very helpful and attentive as were his employees. Enrique speaks English and understands American culture and lives on the property. His hotel facilities are reasonably priced and nice accommodations in the middle of town and next to the bus terminal. Friendly place overall and we will be happy to stay there again.

Our first trip to Panama we stayed in a number of hotels in Panama City, Santiago, El Valle, Boquete. Our very favorite was Hotel Residencial in El Valle. Enrique made our stay comfortable, and even provided us with some dishes and cutlery. Very friendly town and hotel employees. Very clean and attractive rooms, folk decor throughout the hotel. Many local... More

The hotel is nicely located in the town. The town is small and the sights are spread out throughout the valley but it's nice being close to the shops and the couple restaurants. The rooms were very clean, and decorated with hand painted wood furniture. Very colorful and attractive. Our host Enrique, was very hospitable. The upstairs deck with hammocks... More

This hotel is located at the very center of the town, conveniently located near restaurants, shops, the market and the main bus stop. The room was clean, everything was working perfectly (fan, hot water) and the staff was very kind. I missed the AC but actually we didn't really need it

This was our second year to return to El Valle. The first year we chose this hotel because it was where the bus stopped, but the second year it was a destination. Nice people, nice family, nice dog. The outdoor weekend market downstairs, and the grocery store across the street have all you need to prepare a great dinner on... More

This was our second stay at this hotel. The price is right, we love the open air terrace on the top floor with hammocks and lots of seating areas, along with a fridge and microwave. Good views of of the town and some bird watching is easily done at dawn and dusk from this area as well! The lovely ladies... More

Convenient location, excellent service, nice rooms, great place to meet up with fellow travelers. The owner went out of his way to accommodate us.
