Let me begin by saying the sorrounding of this hotel are beautiful, it looks just and feel like you are in an italian villa But that’s about it The price we paid for the room we stayed are not worth the amount. The room need a mayor renovations, we stayed in a honymoon suite, but that room looks like any average hotel room, old and theres nothing about that room to be call honeymoon suite Power goes off and back on at least 4 times per night The decoration its like a $60.00 room, the cable suck and the tiny 32’ inches tv the remote control did not work properly, Again i pay $285.00 per night but that room its not worth that amount The breakfast its nothimg special, i end up going to the town to get my own breakfast Again the sorrunding of the hotel are beautiful but the room i stayed in its very basic Whoever called this hotel a 5 star hotel, needs to be taken to a real 5 star hotel, this hotel its more like a 2 maybe 3 star hotel I wont be back at this hotel

I was very impressed with this hotel. Read a few negative reviews prior to booking, and luckily didn’t pay attention because they seemed kinda petty. The property was beautiful and very clean and well maintained. It was my wife’s birthday so we booked the honeymoon suite…with large jacuzzi in the bathroom. An excellent choice !! Check in was fast and easy, staff were smiling and friendly and we had a great time. A big plus was the HUGE swimming pool sized hot tub…heated to around 100 degrees by thermal springs I think. Absolutely awesome !! There was also another free form pool with much cooler water. Breakfast was included and was buffet style with a fresh egg/omelette station. Lots of choices and everything fresh and well presented. Restaurant was beside a pond with lily pads, flowers, fish and ducks for entertainment. Two other restaurants on the property. We also ate at O’Pedro’s Irish Pub, and had salmon which was delicious. I would definitely recommend this hotel, and we will definitely return even though we live only an hour away. We are beachfront and El Valle is in the mountains, so a nice change. I originally thought the property was expensive, but after staying there I believe it was a good value and worth the price paid.

Beautiful property, bare rooms, staff needs work
Title says it all. Will add that Spanish a must. Polite staff but most incompetent to basic requests, even in Spanish. But they at least try. Breakfast would be boring after 2 days. Flies around with efforts to control them. Room A/C and plumbing worked great but staid decor. Well maintained property and nice grounds, gardens, pools. Heated pool is the best thing about this place! Forget about pool bar service though. Restaurant next door Casa de Lourdes is one of the best in Panama.

Beautiful grounds but poor service
The hotel and grounds are beautiful, I felt like I was staying in a European villa. However the room we had faced the restaurant and was very loud and smelled really dank. We stayed 2 nights and asked them to move us after the first night and they refused. The breakfast was not great and overall the service was poor.

Getaway for your soul!
This gem of a hotel in the beautiful mountain town of El Valle is a wonderful getaway for a couple of days. We rented a suite which was very spacious and made us feel special. The grounds are immaculate, the breakfast (included) was well-prepared, the service was top-notch. We really enjoyed ourselves and would recommend this place for a relaxing treat.

Los Mandarinos is very picturesque property! The rooms are only o-k. They are clean and comfortable, but the walls are very thick and you can hear the people in the neighboring room. They have two restaurants, we liked the pub better. The complimentary breakfast is decent, but not really special. Overall, we thought the hotel is a little overpriced for what you get.
