“The best!!”

La Montana y el Valle Coffee Estate Inn

5 of 5 stars
Redondo Beach, California
May 21, 2008

My wife and I have stayed at La Montana five times and just when we think it can't get any better, Jane and Barry have another surprise up their sleeves.

There are three bungalows on the grounds and we stayed in the Emerald Forest. Each bungalow is equipped with a separate sitting area with a remodeled kitchenette that has a small refrigerator, toaster oven, microwave, sink, all the dinnerware you need, and most importantly a coffeemaker for brewing Barry's freshly roasted coffee. There is also a flat screen TV with DVD player connected to Direct TV. The bedroom features a superb king-size bed with crisp linens that was more comfortable than our bed at home. There are no air conditioners, but because of Boquete's elevation they aren't needed. The bungalows also have wireless Internet connections or you can use the computer with Internet in the inn's library.

You will be pampered beyond all belief as soon as you enter the grounds. Jane and Barry will see to all your needs.

Under no circumstances should you miss having a candlelit dinner served on your balcony. This is without a doubt one of the most pleasant experiences you will have anywhere. Each balcony has a dramatic view of Volcan Baru and you can often catch glimpses of fireflies among the coffee plants. Dinners are incredible from the Indonesian Chicken to the lamb. Everything is impeccably prepared and tasty. The desserts and Barry's coffee liquor are not to be missed. La Montana also serves some very good wines that go well with the dinners. The balcony is also a great place to sip your morning coffee while munching on some of the inn's home-baked breads and fresh fruit.

Jane and Barry can help you set up hiking or rafting activities and can point out scenic drives in the area. There is a nice little trail you can hike around the estate and if you are bird watcher, there are ample opportunities to glimpse some of the hundred-odd species around the grounds.

La Montana y El Valle The Coffee Estate Inn is one of the best inn's you will find anywhere. Dollar for dollar, it just may be the best value value anywhere.

1/1 found this review helpful

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the Coffee Estate Inn. The accommodations were very spacious, clean and comfortable, the food was excellent and the grounds were spectacular. If you enjoy birding, as we do, this is the place to stay. As many others have attested, Barry and Jane go the extra mile, and more, to make their guests' experiences enjoyable. In our case that included suggestions for things to do and places to see in Boquete as well as finding us some great birding guides (Barry and Jane are very knowledgeable about birds themselves, so if you have questions about what you are seeing on the Estate, ask them). It is likely that we would not have rented a car (which they also arranged for us) had they not encouraged us to do so and that was excellent advice because roads are very good and (unlike in Panama City) driving is easy around Boquete; having a car really broadened our experience. In addition, they booked a room for us at The Bristol, a hotel in Panama City that we enjoyed very much, at a rate that we could not match on the Internet or through a travel agent. They also recommended a car service in Panama City that we found to be highly reliable. We cannot recommend the Coffee Inn Estate too highly. It is one of the great tourist bargains. Thank you, Jane and Barry.

“As good as its reviews”

La Montana y el Valle Coffee Estate Inn

Mar 20, 2008

La Montana's rooms, grounds and owner/operators are lovely. Jane and Barry take very good care of their guests.

The bungalows are roomy, well equipped and flawlessly maintained. The meals prepared by Barry and Jane were consistently delicious, and very good wine was on offer at prices only slightly higher than my local liquor store. We enjoyed walking the grounds and sitting on our deck while enjoying the continuous appearance of exotic birds.

Jane arranged a birding guide who really knew her stuff and was reasonably priced. Jane's advice on local activities and eateries was dead on.

We would go out of our way to stay here again.

“Jane and Barry are the Best!!”

The property is a special gem nestled in the verdant mountains of Boquete where Jane and Barry welcome the guests like family.
The guest cottages are spottless and comfortable. The fresh roasted coffee that is grown on the Inn property is so delicious that we brought back 15 lbs for Christmas gifts.

Barry gave us a tour of the beautiful grounds that he lovingly tends. Birds congregate below the many orange trees to feast on the ubiquitous fruit.

It is a feast for the senses.

The fresh baked breads that are provided daily along with the fresh oranges and bananas from the property are a joy.

Go there! Stay there! It was worth every cent. We are going back!

“Lovely landscaping, warm and helpful hosts, marvelous romantic dinner”

Ditto all the other rave reviews. Arrange your stay here before the rest of your trip to Panama. Jane and Barry will then assist you in planning the rest of your trip, and help arrange your rental car, discount rate at Panama City hotel, etc. Our romantic dinner in was really a delight, because Ofelia made an elaborate table with flowers, candles, etc., and the food was scrumptious.
