Cabanas Potosi is a collection of four cabins located a few minutes by car from the main street of El Valle De Anton. The cabins are very simple, though by no means rustic--a bit like a Holiday Inn from the 1950s. (The rooms have neither TVs nor phones.) But the prices can't be beat, and the owners (a retired American... More

My daughter and I stayed four nights recently, while bird watching in panama ( our wonderful guide is the brother of the cabanas owner). I would recommend the cabanas as a quiet and friendly place to stay.

We were greeted when we arrived and given a nice refreshment while the manager explained the layout of the property and gave us a very helpful hand-drawn map of town and the activities. The cabana was clean and comfortable with a small fan (no air con but it isn't needed), a small fridge, an open closet with a shelf, and... More

This isn't luxurious but it is quite wonderful. The rooms are great and the gardens are absolutely lovely. The owners are very welcoming and will take you into town for dinner and pick you up afterwards. We were really surprised to find such great accommodation - we definitely recommend it.

Owners Mireya and Dennis are excellent hosts. The garden is very beautiful and relaxing. The rooms are nice and serve the purpose, relaxing stay. Dont look for any luxury, it is not the purpose of the place. There are a few any animals living in the same complex, specially birds. Ask Mireya the information.

Quiet and peaceful. Clean, comfortable rooms. Beautiful well maintained grounds. We woke to the sounds of birds each morning. Always warmly greeted by Dennis and his wife Mireya. They are willing and helpful hosts. Mireya was fantastic with our son (14) and helping him with his Spanish. Just the right distance from town and the attractions, although it has the... More

This was one of the best places I stayed in all of Panama! Dennis and Mireya make it a home away from home. I traveled solo and stayed in the guest room attached to the main house. It was quiet, inexpensive and comfortable. The only downside was the bed but they told me they are switching to 2 double beds... More

Cabanas Potosi is a special location and in a beautiful setting. It is not in downtown El Valle which is a plus. The cabanas are basic but very nice and a terrific value. Plus the conversations with Dennis and Mireya are worth the trip. You can view their birds with a coffee in the morning and ask Mireya for help... More

Dennis and Mereya were wonderful hosts and interesting people. The cottages are about a mile out of town and they offered to drive us on several occasions. It was also a pleasant walk or a $2-3 cab ride so being a little off the beaten track was no problem. The unit was spotless and the grounds are beautiful with acres... More

Cabanas Potosi is just a short distance outside of the town and as a result is peaceful and with beautiful gardens and birds. Very welcoming host and hostess, (Mireya's brother Mario is a super birder so if he's available and if you are interested in birds then I strongly recommend that you spend a morning with him). The cabin itself... More
