This is a very nice place staffed by some of the best people I have encountered anywhere. I had room #1 with a kitchen which I wasn't expecting and barely used except for the fridge. This room was a bit more of a showplace than a functional room because while there were 2 small tables; one that I used as a desk had display items on it like 2 big plates and another thing that I had to put in the closet so I could use it pulled over to the bed to sit on - no chair. (I was told later that they could have brought me a chair.) The pool looked nice, although I didn't use it. The breakfast was very nice indeed and was ordered from a menu giving lots of choices. I had a rental car so most nights I went to town for dinner but the one night I did eat there, I was unimpressed with the food, service was fine. I think the girls were happy that I tried to use my limited Spanish with them & they all spoke very good English with those that didn't try.

We only spent one night in The Golden Frog but we really enjoyed our limited time there. The hotel staff was friendly, the food at the restaurant was good, and the room was clean and comfortable. Bonus points for our balcony with beautiful views of the lush surroundings and the cute dogs and cats on the grounds.

The staff at the Golden Frog Inn were fabulous! Not only is the hotel in a phenomenally beautiful place with gorgeous landscaping, the onsite restaurant served top-notch meals and accommodated our dietary restrictions. We were there to celebrate our anniversary and when we arrived they had decorated our room with balloons, confetti, and fresh bougainvillea petals. I highly recommend the Golden Frog Inn!

This was one of my favorite hotels I’ve ever stayed at! Everything was perfect from the room to the food but the best part was the staff. They were so accommodating and friendly and made our stay even more special! The food and drinks were also great and the views from the room were incredible. Highly recommend staying here!!!

Beautiful resort and huge rooms. The property is older but has been redone and/or maintained to a good standard. The plants and birds around the patio (equipped with a hammock and huge table) were a joy to experience. We wanted to stay another week after being there for just 10 minutes! Good location, but not walkable into town (a car is a must). El Valle is cute and pleasant though you won't find gourmet restaurants here (ye).

Amazing view in and around the property. Unique location, with a bustling town nearby. Friendly staff that keeps a clean environment. We found the food to be somewhat lacking, but generally acceptable, although the price was too high for us. Thankfully, there is an astounding number of restaurants in the valley. Sadly, the TV only had cable and the WiFi was in and out. The bathroom was very nice, but it lacked ventilation. The bed was big and comfortable, but the lighting lacked dim options. Our favorite things about the Inn were the view from our balcony and the lobby/patio area.

Lovely small hotel
This is a lovely hotel in a quiet location on the edge of town. The rooms are spacious and ours was recently renovated. The restaurant was very good and the breakfasts were excellent. No pool was available because it was being fixed. You may want to check the pool has been repaired and is open.

I had a little issue with my reservation upon arrival but it was resolved. I had heard wonderful things about this place which was why I made reservations here. I totally enjoyed my stay. It was so refreshing to be here in El Valle away from Panama City. Loved the scenery and the birds. Everyone was very nice, including a permanent resident there. I will be back one day. Thanks

A very beautiful picturesque setting with great weather, friendly staff, a lovely pool to sit beside or swim in. I’m missing it already. Would definitely go back fand recommend. The included breakfast is also very good and served on a lovely deck overlooking the mountains and pool. The town of Valle de Antón is also nice with coffee shops and restaurants especially La Ranita, which had great food and a most gregarious and attentive owner. I think his name is Petyr, or close to that. Also an interesting vegetable and flower market and a handicrafts market as well. A very nice spot for a quiet and relaxing vacation. Families loved this hotel. A fair number of well behaved children about.

We had a great room #2 We had a kitchen, and full bath and a wonderful covered porch overlooking the pool with table, chairs & Hammock. Be aware there is no A/C I missed this, the room was unbearable during the day, but it cooled down and was breezy at night so with windows open sleeping was fine other than they are buildling something behind this unit for privacy they hung a black tarp problem was it was very breezy at night so it was very loud with the window open. The breakfast was great with lots of options, We also had the nachos one day for lunch they were great. The pool area was beautiful but only a few chairs - so we did not hang out there much, luckily our roomms porch was close. Would stay again, hopefully no construction behind the room next time.

Our accommodation (room #1) is a well appointed funky-folksy home away from home. It includes a big covered front porch area, with comfy chairs, a table, hammock, and lots of greenery and flowers, and a great view of the pool and surrounding gardens. The room is large with a queen size bed, side tables and lamps. There’s also a couch and a big ceiling mounted flatscreen tv. There’s also a small kitchenette with fridge and appliances. The bathroom is not large, but big enough for all the essentials. The shower is large and has good water pressure and hot water.

Beautiful property surrounded by nature, very close to the town's amenities and attractions. The rooms were a little dated, but very clean and spacious. If renting a room with kitchen, please bring your own paper towel and dish soap. The staff is extremely nice and helpful. The hotel serves delicious included breakfast. Their lunch options are very tasty.

Nice stay. The place is a little out of town so you kind of need your own transportation. Service was great, they really helped hook me up with a guide for a hike I wanted to do last minute. Food was decent, not great. Rooms were large and nice. Overall, I recommend this place.

The views around the valley are great and can be taken in from many of the rooms. A well-maintained pool adds to the "hillside villa" vibe. Having a restaurant on-site, with breakfast included with the room, is very convenient.
