Cabin stay
The grounds were okay. The cabin for the money was sad. Minimum on inside of cabin. Seen its better days . Toilet seate was gross. Old wooden seat ,with open spots that bacteria has to be present. No one should sit on it. The owner was nice enough. I felt safe in and around the town. Okay place. Just needs some updating.

Great place to stay
We had a very nice stay at Cabanas Potosi. The host was was very helpful and communicative and made things easy for us. The place has a lovely garden. There are only four rooms I think, which makes for a quieter stay. If you are looking for something super fancy then this place is probably not for you. We will recommend this place to others.

Living With Nature
The grounds are beautiful and Denis was able to get us connected with a biologist to do some bird watching. Denis will put out fruit around the compost to view the birds up close. The only minor disappointment was that I thought there were going to be cooking quarters in the room from the photos. Denis did say we could cook in his place but we did not want to put him out. There was, however, a fridge, and dishes so we did do some minor food prep in the room. Plus, there is a breakfast provided each day and there are quite a few restaurants within walking distance.

A pleasant stay near the charming town of El Valle.
The cabins are within walking distance of town if you like some exercise but the friendly host, Dennis is often available to give one a lift. 😊 The beds were comfortable, the grounds are well-kept, and attract some awesome birds. Breakfast of juice, coffee and delicious empanada was adequate to get us to town where there are many restaurants from which to choose. We enjoyed our four night stay and we also enjoyed meeting other international guests there.

Fabulous stay at Cabañas Potosí!
Dennis is a caring. engaging host and wonderful ambassador for El Valle. He is very helpful with recommendations on dining and exploring the area. He can also set up a birding tour in the cloud forest with a very knowledgeable and friendly local guide, Mario. Cabañas Potosí are comfortable cabins set in beautiful gardens with an abundance of birds and butterflies. Guests can sit outside, relax in a hammock and connect with other guests. Breakfast is set on a lovely patio and includes a pastry, fruit, coffee and juice. You can easily walk to town if you don’t have a car. We had a great experience at Canañas Potosí and highly recommend them.

Excellent accueil ! Le calme à proximité d’un village animé
Le propriétaire est un homme charmant, très aimable et serviable. Outre le fait qu’il a eu un parcours de vie très riche et très honorable, il renseigne avec plaisir sur toute question d’ordre touristique ou pour donner des informations plus générales sur la vie au Panama. Un seul exemple : il a téléphoné au reptilarium pour s’assurer que nous pourrions y être reçus ( visite d’ailleurs très intéressante pour apprendre à distinguer les serpents venimeux des autres), fait la navette gratuitement pour descendre ses hôtes jusqu’à l’arrêt de bus du marché central d’où il est ensuite facile de se déplacer jusqu’à la côte ou dans un autre village. Les chambres sont grandes et ouvrent sur un joli jardin tropical, au calme. Il y a du mobilier de jardin et des hamacs, un endroit abrité pour déjeuner ou dîner en extérieur. Bref, une très bonne adresse pour un prix raisonnable. Nous la recommandons et nous remercions Dennis pour son accueil !
